Tesla Converts FSD Sales Into Subscription Only

Elon Musk announced on X that Tesla will stop selling Full Self-Driving (FSD) as a one-time purchase after Valentine's Day and offer FSD only as a $99/month subscription starting next month. The shift could boost adoption and aligns with a shareholder-approved pay package that requires over 10 million active FSD subscriptions as a tranche milestone. The change occurs amid declining Tesla deliveries and rising competition from Nvidia and Rivian.
