Tesla is ditching one-time FSD purchases after Feb 14, moving to a subscription-only model that changes the game for owners and Musk's compensation.

Elon Musk confirmed Tesla's Robotaxis in Austin will go fully unsupervised in about three weeks, and teased a new, larger FSD AI model with enhanced reasoning arriving in early 2026.

Tesla's app update v4.51.5 introduces a real-time car locator, an easily accessible Dashcam tab, and new holiday feature support.

Tesla's not just offering a 30-day FSD trial; it's a 40-day 'Holiday Perk' for 1.5 million HW4 owners, strategically timed to run through Christmas and New Year's. This extended test drive aims to turn family passengers into FSD advocates, making the latest v14 a household name and hopefully fueling subscriptions by January.

Tesla's latest FSD update, v14.2.1, is getting some real talk about its new 'Speed Profiles,' with users reporting abrupt speed changes and fixed limits that just don't jive with real-world traffic. It seems like the system's trying to be a little *too* perfect, creating a gap between what drivers expect and what the car delivers.

Tesla just announced a wild 30-day free trial for Full Self-Driving (v14.2), letting owners experience the latest autonomous tech. This bold move aims to boost FSD adoption, letting more drivers sample the future before the robotaxi era really kicks into gear.

Tesla's mobile app just got a feature-packed update, bringing dynamic weather visuals to Powerwall, gifting options to the Tesla Shop, and hints of remote screen recording! Plus, new FSD alerts and Hebrew language support show Tesla's constantly refining its digital ecosystem.
