 Opens New Doors for Owners - EconoTimes)
Tesla introduces a one-month free trial of Full Self-Driving (FSD), extending the offer to new and existing owners.
Tesla Offers One-Month Free Trial of Full Self-Driving (FSD) to New and Existing Owners
Tesla provides new vehicle purchasers with a one-month free trial of full self-driving (FSD). Elon Musk also extended the offer to existing Tesla owners, Teslarati reported.
The company has already updated its configurator page for the Tesla Model Y, Model X, and Model S. However, the Order Page for Model 3 does not mention a one-month free trial of FSD.
Following the FSD free trial update, Elon Musk announced on X that "all US cars that are capable of FSD will be enabled for a one-month trial this week."
Musk's announcement means that even existing Tesla owners who haven't purchased FSD can test it for a month. As of this writing, Tesla's full self-driving capability costs $12,000.
Tesla's one-month free trial of FSD suggests that the company has significantly improved its autonomous software. Tesla is also taking precautions with version 12 of FSD. In a leaked email, Elon Musk updated Tesla's delivery process, requiring employees to provide FSD V12.3.1 rides to new customers who take delivery.
CATL Chairman Discusses Collaboration with Tesla and Implications for FSD V12
Tesla's recent efforts to promote FSD V12 hint at its capabilities and push toward autonomous vehicles. In a recent interview, CATL Chairman Robin Zeng spoke about the Chinese battery supplier's collaboration with Tesla.
Zeng mentioned Tesla's $25,000 car and batteries, hinting at potential cell development for its robotaxi fleet. CATL will provide battery machinery for Tesla's Giga Nevada expansion. Tesla intends to build two new facilities at Giga Nevada, one of which will house a dedicated 4680 production line.
Tesla FSD will play a critical role in the company's next-generation vehicles, including the $25,000 car. By making FSD available to more customers, Tesla may lay the groundwork for future vehicles.
