Elon Musk Stays True to His Word: Tesla Raises Full Self-Driving Price to $8,000

Keeping consistent with what Elon Musk had suggested in May, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) announced today that the cost for the full self-driving (FSD) package is now $8,000 -- a $1,000 increase over its previous price tag. While the price hike may seem steep, it's considerably more appealing than the price that Musk imagines for the sophisticated software in the future. According to Electrek.co, which covers the electric transportation industry, some Tesla drivers anticipated the higher price and decided to purchase the FSD package last quarter.
