Tesla has rolled out a groundbreaking three-year subscription bundle for Model S and X, combining Full Self-Driving (Supervised), free Supercharging, and Premium Connectivity in a $5,000 package, setting new standards in the EV market.
Tesla Introduces Exclusive 3-Year Bundle
The Model S and Model X are now available in a three-year subscription bundle from Tesla. Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised), Premium Connectivity, and free Supercharging are all part of the $5,000 bundle, Teslarati shares.
At this time, the three-year membership bundle is only available for the Model S and Model X, according to Tesla's official website. Only orders for the Model 3 and Model Y can purchase FSD for the full price of $8,000. Given that Tesla is probably just testing the waters with the three-year subscription bundle, this makes sense.
FSD, Free Supercharging, and Premium Connectivity Offer
Several members of the electric vehicle community have voiced their approval of the 3-year FSD (Supervised), free Supercharging, and Premium Connectivity bundle, speculating that the service would be particularly well-received by automobile leaseholders. Having said that, the 3-year bundle is not applicable to vehicles used for business purposes.
When compared to the prices of the individual services, the 3-year bundle is a steal.
A three-year membership to Full Self Driving would cost $3,564 at the $99/month rate. The total cost of three years of Premium Connectivity, at $10 each month, would be $360. While you can't buy Free Supercharging by the unit, you could get a good deal by paying $30/month or $1,080/year for the service.
The total cost of the three services is $5,004 spread out over three years.
Bundle Limited to Model S and X
Even while Tesla's 3-year bundle seems like it could be a popular service, just a select few consumers will be able to take advantage of it because it's only available for the Model S and Model X for now.
According to Tesla's production and delivery statistics for the second quarter, the company only sent out 21,551 vehicles that weren't Model 3/Ys.
Based on that figure, Cox Automotive determined that 8,755 of those vehicles belonged to Tesla Cybertrucks. The combined sales for the Model S and Model X in Q2 were little more than 12,700.
