Tesla, led by CEO Elon Musk, has announced a significant price reduction for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions in the United States and Canada.
The move comes as Tesla aims to boost the adoption of its autonomous driving technology amid challenges such as softening demand and increased competition in the electric vehicle market.
Price Reduction:
Tesla has lowered the monthly subscription fee for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature to $99 in the United States and C$99 ($71.88) in Canada.
