Tesla has introduced a monthly subscription for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system in Mexico, marking a significant step in its ongoing international expansion of autonomous driving technology.
The subscription is priced at 2,999 pesos ($158) per month, adding an alternative to the one-time purchase option, which costs 177,200 pesos (about $9,300). The launch follows the system’s earlier availability in the U.S., where the monthly subscription is currently set at $99.
The rollout in Mexico comes as Tesla continues to expand its FSD platform globally. The system became available in Mexico and Puerto Rico in February and has since reached China—where it is branded as “Intelligent Assisted Driving” to comply with local regulatory guidelines—and is being introduced in Australia. Tesla also continues testing the system in Europe, where regulatory approval is still pending.
“This move enables more flexibility for Tesla owners in Mexico, who can now experience FSD features without a major upfront cost,” the company stated during the announcement.
In the Mexican market, Tesla offers the refreshed Model Y starting at 859,000 pesos ($45,100) and the Model 3 sedan from 749,000 pesos ($39,300). The company is offering a 50,000-peso ($2,600) bonus on inventory Model 3 units. Its higher-end models—the Model S and Model X—are priced from 1,899,900 pesos ($99,800) and 1,999,900 pesos ($105,100), respectively. The Cybertruck, which recently became available for order, starts at 1,699,900 pesos ($89,300).
In Europe, Tesla’s FSD rollout remains stalled due to regulatory delays. Tesla CEO Elon Musk this week voiced his frustration over the situation, urging European drivers to push authorities to allow the feature. “It is very frustrating and hurts the safety of people in Europe, as driving with advanced Autopilot on results in four times fewer injuries,” Musk said.
Meanwhile, Tesla is preparing to launch its autonomous ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas, using a fleet of Model Y vehicles, with plans to integrate its upcoming “Cybercab.” The company confirmed the first unsupervised, factory-equipped Model Y vehicles are already being tested on U.S. roads.
