Subscription subtotal

Scenario arithmetic, not a dealer quote or total cost of ownership. Excludes tax, destination unless included in your input, finance charges, insurance and running costs. Assumes the monthly rate stays unchanged. For an annual or upfront plan, enter its full cost in the upfront field and use $0 monthly.
Buying used? Check the entitlement
A seller’s subscription does not establish your future access. Tesla distinguishes previously purchased FSD from subscriptions; verify the vehicle’s software screen and the terms that apply after ownership changes.
Budget separately for the car and any hardware work. Do not assume that a model badge or an old advertisement confirms eligibility.
Is a subscription worth it for you?
Compare your own expected use with the incremental cost. Start with a demonstration or an available trial, note where you need to intervene, and decide whether the assistance improves your typical trips. This planner estimates expenditure, not safety or future autonomy.
