Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on January 14, 2026, via X that the company will end one-time purchases of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after February 14, 2026, moving exclusively to subscriptions amid a California court ruling deeming FSD marketing misleading, ongoing NHTSA investigations, declining sales (1.64 million vehicles in 2025, down 9%), low adoption (12-15%), BYD overtaking as top EV maker, and rising competition from Nvidia, Rivian, and Waymo. The shift may aid Musk's trillion-dollar compensation goals requiring 10 million active FSD subscriptions.
X has moved its X Pro tool, formerly known as TweetDeck, exclusively behind the $40-a-month Premium+ subscription, removing it from the standard Premium plan. The change took effect recently without prior notice to users. Documentation partially reflects the update, confirming access requires the higher tier.
