Tesla (TSLA) has officially pulled Basic Autopilot as a standard feature for new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in North America, thus forcing new buyers to subscribe to the $99 per month Supervised Full Self-Driving package to access lane-keeping features that used to be free, Electrek’s Fred Lambert reports. The Basic Autopilot suite, which had been included in every Tesla vehicle for nearly seven years, consisted of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer, and under the new 2026 structure, Autosteer has been removed, the author notes.
