| Can I Cancel Tesla Fsd Subscription |
Step 1: The App is Your New Best Friend (or Frenemy)
Forget sending smoke signals to Fremont or trying to catch Elon on X (formerly Twitter). The whole shebang goes down in the place where all modern Tesla dramas unfold: The Tesla Mobile App. If you don't have it, well, you're not driving a Tesla right, buddy? Download it, log in, and prepare for digital battle!
1.1 Locating the 'Upgrades' Section
This is where the magic (and the money talk) happens. When you first open the app, look for the main menu options, which usually include a section dedicated to 'Upgrades' or 'Shop'. It’s generally a shopping cart or a prominent tile. You know the one—it’s always trying to sell you something.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Tap on that bad boy. It’s like entering the digital candy store, only this time, you’re looking for the 'Exit' sign.
1.2 Navigating to Subscription Management
Once you're in the 'Upgrades' area, you'll need to dig a tiny bit deeper. The option you are hunting for is usually called 'Manage Upgrades' or something similar to 'Software Upgrades' and then a 'Manage' button. This is the secret clubhouse where all your monthly digital commitments live. Give it a tap.
You'll see a list of your current, active subscriptions, and yes, your beloved/overpriced FSD subscription should be sitting right there, likely with a price tag staring you down.
Step 2: The Moment of Truth—The Cancel Button
You’ve made it through the digital maze! Now comes the emotional part—saying goodbye to your car’s sometimes-brilliant, sometimes-bonkers driving assistant. It's not you, it's the recurring charge.
2.1 Tapping 'Manage' on FSD (Supervised)
Find the listing for the Full Self-Driving Subscription. It will probably have the full fancy name, "Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Capability Subscription" or something equally important-sounding. Hit the 'Manage' button next to it. This takes you to the specific control panel for that one subscription.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
2.2 Finding the 'Cancel' Option and Confirmation
On the FSD management screen, there should be a clear, glorious option that says 'Cancel' or 'Cancel Subscription.' Click it like it owes you money!
Hold up! Don't panic if they ask you for a reason. Tesla, being the data-fiends they are, often asks why you’re breaking up with FSD. This is just for their research—pick an option (like "Cost" or "Functionality Not Meeting Expectations") and move on. They might even try one last desperate plea, a pop-up asking if you're really, truly sure. Confirm your cancellation. You're a free agent now!

Step 3: Understanding the Aftermath (The Important Fine Print)
This is the part where we drop some knowledge bombs so you don't get blindsided when the next billing cycle rolls around. Listen up, this is key!
3.1 No Prorated Refunds—It’s a Month-Long Commitment
Here's the deal: The Tesla FSD subscription is prepaid for the entire month. When you cancel, you do not get a prorated refund for the unused days. This is non-negotiable, folks.
Pro Tip: Cancel your subscription right after it auto-renews! That way, you’ve paid for the full month and can enjoy the features for the maximum amount of time before it officially turns off at the end of that billing cycle. Don't let those days go to waste!
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
3.2 Feature Expiration and The Future
Your FSD features (Autopark, Summon, Navigate on Autopilot, and the city street shenanigans) will remain active until the end of your current billing period. Once that date hits, poof! They revert back to whatever base Autopilot or Enhanced Autopilot features you originally had. Your car won't turn into a pumpkin, but it will be slightly less of a space-age taxi.
The bright side? If you get a hankering for that sweet, sweet autonomous lane-changing a few months down the line, you can re-subscribe at any time. It’s super flexible! It’s like a gym membership, but for your car, and less painful to quit.
FAQ Questions and Answers
How do I re-subscribe to the Tesla FSD subscription later?
You can re-subscribe anytime through the same process: Open the Tesla App, go to 'Upgrades,' find the Full Self-Driving option, and tap 'Subscribe.' The features will usually be reactivated pretty quickly after payment is processed.
Can I cancel the FSD subscription from the car's touchscreen?
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
Generally, no. While you can manage a few things from the car's screen, the definitive and required method for canceling is through the official Tesla Mobile App. Use the app to avoid any unnecessary trips to a Service Center.
Will my car need a software update after I cancel the FSD subscription?
Your car might require a small over-the-air (OTA) software update to officially remove the FSD features when the billing cycle ends, but this usually happens automatically. Just make sure your car is connected to Wi-Fi for optimal over-the-air communication.
If I cancel, do I get to keep my Full Self-Driving computer hardware?
Yes, you keep the hardware! The FSD computer (HW3.0 or later) is physically installed in your vehicle and is not removed upon cancellation. You are simply removing the software access that the monthly payment grants you.
What happens to my Safety Score if I cancel the FSD subscription?
If your Safety Score was only being used for the FSD (Beta/Supervised) program, it typically becomes inactive once your subscription lapses. It’s no longer needed since you won't be accessing the advanced features that require the Safety Score evaluation. You can go back to driving like a normal person, just kidding (mostly).
