According to a report from Reuters – On 17th of July, Tesla has introduced an option for some customers to subscribe to its advanced driver assistance software named as “Full Self-Driving Capability” for $199 per month instead of paying $10000 immediately.

Tesla has previously said its subscription service would generate recurring revenue and expand the customer base for pricy features including lane changing on highways and parking assistance.

Tesla said the subscription service is available in vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving computer 3.0 or above. It told customers that upgrading to the new hardware will cost $1,500. Tesla has been testing its new semi-autonomous driving software for city streets and last week released "FSD Beta v9" to a limited number of customers.
