Elon Musk stated that Tesla will release a subscription service for its completely automated driving (FSD) software package in the next 3-4 months.

Musk earlier said that as Tesla gets closer and closer to achieving completely automated driving, the price of its FSD will continue to rise. It is supposed that the monthly service fee of the subscription version of FSD may exceed $100, and it may continue to rise.
Musk has always emphasized that as its vehicles start to have autonomous driving capabilities, the value of Tesla cars will become higher and higher, and future owners’ Tesla cars can join the autopilot planned to be released later this year.
