Tesla FSD officially increased its price to $15,000 without adding new features.

On September 6th, according to the previous statement of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the company has recently officially raised the price of the fully automatic driving (FSD) package of the advanced driver assistance system to 15,000 US dollars (about 103,900 yuan).

According to foreign media reports, some people believe that this FSD system is not worth $15,000 at present. ; Although it costs $9,000 more than the enhanced version of Autopilot, users only have the opportunity to experience the latest beta version of FSD.

Over the years, Musk has always said that with the continuous improvement of the functions of the FSD system, the car will eventually be fully autonomous. Tesla will also gradually increase the price of this system.

. Although the test has been carried out for two years, there is still a long way to go to realize the full automatic driving of the car.

From a technical point of view, the FSD system can run in most traffic environments, including crossing intersections, but the responsibility for driving still lies with the driver, who still needs to keep his attention and be ready to take over control at any time. The industry believes that the most important step for companies developing autonomous driving systems to achieve this goal is to be willing to assume the driving responsibility under the activation of the system.

Tesla has made it clear that this cannot be done. The company sent a series of warnings to users who participated in the FSD Beta test, clearly indicating that the driving responsibility still lies with the driver.

Tesla believes that every update of the FSD system means a step closer to the goal of fully autonomous driving, and that some of these updates are worthy of raising the overall price of the system.

Last month, Musk also reported that Tesla would increase the system price from $12,000 to $15,000 as the company launched the beta version of FSD Beta 10.69 on a larger scale.

On Monday, Tesla updated the price information of FSD on the vehicle customization page in official website-by $3,000-but did not include more new features. There are more words such as "coming online" and "automatic turning on urban roads" in the description of the page, which is still in the testing stage open to invited users, and it is not much different from the previous routine update.

If the user already owns Tesla’s enhanced Autopilot system, there is nothing new except the opportunity to experience the latest beta FSD, and the test experience itself is not a reward.

Musk has made it clear that the value of a fully autonomous driving system far exceeds $15,000. He said that the price would continue to rise. In fact, the initial price of the FSD system was only $6,000. Now, what you buy with an extra $9,000 is not what users really want, but that you can bet on Tesla to provide real automatic driving function in the future, and you can start at a lower price.

However, it is not clear how Tesla can develop the beta FSD into a safe autopilot system that is willing to take responsibility.
