Tesla paywalls lane centering on new Model 3 and Model Y purchases
Tesla just objectively decreased the value of the Model 3 and Model Y. On Thursday, the company said it's paywalling its lane-centering feature, Autosteer, for new purchases of the two EVs in the US and Canada. This was previously a standard feature. Lane centering is now part of the Full Self-Driving Supervised (FSD) package, which costs $99 per month. Speculating on why Tesla would do this doesn't require much imagination. Remember the pay package Tesla shareholders approved for Musk in November?
