As reported by the folks over at Tesla North, the price of Full Self-Driving (FSD) in the U.S. will be increased from $12,000 to $15,000 in September, marking a massive $3,000 hike in price.
The latest price increase was announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a tweet over the weekend. “After wide release of FSD Beta 10.69.2, price of FSD will rise to $15k in North America on September 5th,” Musk wrote.
“Current price will be honored for orders made before Sept 5th, but delivered later,” he added. Musk continued that customers can upgrade their existing cars to FSD “in 2 [minutes] via the Tesla app.”

Currently, FSD costs CAD $12,800 in Canada. Should the forthcoming price increase apply to both the U.S. and Canada, the new Canadian FSD pricing would be slightly higher in local currency.
Do you plan to order a Tesla today or FSD to lock in the current price of CAD $12,800? Let us know in the comments section below.

No plan to pay probably CAD$18k for this. I just don’t think the current hardware is able to go full FSD.
Maybe it would be worth it if was actually, you know, full self driving. But it’s not. Not even close. If you need to keep putting your hands back on the steering wheel every minute or two – then what’s the point. It’s not safe enough to drive itself without you staying alert – so you may as well just be driving. I don’t know why people are paying US$15,000 to basically be beta software testers but, as a stockholder, I’m glad they are lol.
Auto pilot requires that. Not the FSD.
From the Tesla website:
Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.
So I’m not sure what you are saying.
