Tesla Turns Autopilot into a Paywalled Path to FSD

TL;DR Summary
Tesla has removed Basic Autopilot as a standard feature on new Model 3 and Model Y in North America, making Autosteer available only to customers who subscribe to the Full Self-Driving package at $99/month; Traffic-Aware Cruise Control remains standard. The shift to a subscription model aligns with Tesla's plan to discontinue selling FSD as a one-time option and comes amid regulatory actions in California over Autopilot marketing claims.
