285,000 Tesla owners in North America paid for Full Self-Driving worth $15,000

The number of users of the beta version of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver assistance system continues to grow, but not as much

quickly, as Tesla would like. More than a quarter of a million electric vehicle owners in North America have paid FSD.

What is known

Elon Musk stated that FSD implementationsIt's not going quite according to plan. By the end of 2022, the number of users of the beta version of Full Autopilot was expected to reach 1 million. However, only 285,000 people paid FSD on an ongoing basis.

Now the cost of a set of driver assistance systemsis $15,000. This does not mean that Tesla earned $4.275 billion, because the price was lower before. But the company was probably still able to generate $2 billion in revenue.

Approximately 1.5 million vehicles have been sold in North America that support FSD. This means that nearly one in five Tesla customers have paid for a full autopilot system.

For everyone who wants to experience FSD in action, there isthe ability to activate the function for a month for $199. But in this case, you will have to pay for an upgrade of the on-board computer if the car was produced before 2016 and you are too lazy to go to court. By the way, soon the driver assistance system may get a different name, because. California authorities banned Tesla from using the Full Self-Driving name.
