Tesla FSD and Autopilot: Features, HW3 vs AI4, and Subscriptions
Tesla has changed its driver-assistance lineup in North America. Since January 22, 2026, new cars no longer include Basic Autopilot, which combined TACC with Autosteer; they now come with only TACC and active safety features. FSD (Supervised) is sold only as a subscription and, according to Tesla, can handle nearly any drive with an attentive driver. It engages below 150 km/h. Capabilities depend on the hardware: the latest version for HW3 is v14.3 Lite, still rolling out, while AI4 already uses v14.3.11. HW2/2.5 owners who bought FSD can move to HW 3.0 at no cost.…
- Basic Autopilot left new North American cars on January 22, 2026.
- Upgrading to HW 3.0 is free if you bought FSD; subscribers pay $1,500 plus tax.
- Software update 2026.2.9 renamed Navigate on Autopilot to Navigate on Autosteer.
