Revenue Streams

Tesla is transitioning its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software to a subscription-only model, discontinuing the one-time purchase option. This strategic move aims to secure recurring revenue and align with industry trends favoring Software-as-a-Service. While potentially simplifying updates and data collection, it also occurs amidst increased competition from rivals like Waymo and recent declines in Tesla’s delivery figures. The success of this pivot hinges on continuous FSD improvement and building consumer trust.
