◆Price reduction for one-time purchase version of FSD
The one-time purchase version of FSD was previously sold for $12,000 in the United States, but is now sold for $8,000 at the time of writing. The selling price in Canada was previously $16,000, but at the time of writing it is $11,000.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that as FSD becomes more powerful, the selling price will rise, and that a Tesla car equipped with FSD will be worth between $100,000 and $200,000.




◆Price cut for Model Y
The Model Y, the world's best-selling car , has also seen its price reduced by $2,000, bringing its starting price to $29,490.

Recalled Cybertruck accelerator pedal can be repaired in 35 seconds
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced a recall for all 3,878 Tesla Cybertrucks shipped at the time of writing, citing a fault with the accelerator pedal that could put drivers at risk of being involved in a collision.

It was reported that the Cybertruck's accelerator pedal cover had come off and gotten caught in the seams of the footwell, causing the pedal to remain pressed down. Tesla explained that 'an unauthorized modification had been made to the accelerator pedal using a lubricant (soap) to aid in the attachment of the pad components to the pedal, and residual lubricant reduced the pad's ability to hold onto the pedal.'

Tesla demonstrated how to repair the accelerator pedal at an event called Cyber Takeover held in Long Beach, California, USA. The video below clearly shows how quickly it takes to repair the accelerator pedal without removing the cover.




◆ Cybertruck may be damaged if it is not in car wash mode
Cybertruck owner and TikTok user captian.ad reports that after just a few thousand miles, his Cybertruck has become a brickweight. After driving the Cybertruck on the beach and washing it, he reported that the Cybertruck's console screen went black and became unresponsive. This was not fixed even after going through the default reboot procedure and resetting the Cybertruck to factory settings.




In addition, the Cybertruck owner's manual warns, 'Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight,' and also explicitly states that the Cybertruck must be switched to 'car wash mode' before washing to avoid damage to vehicle parts.
