Just weeks after confirming plans to move Full Self-Driving (FSD) to a monthly subscription for new cars, Tesla now appears to have removed another key feature from all Model 3 and Model Y variants. The company’s lane-centering feature, dubbed Autosteer, is reportedly no longer available in the Model 3 and Model Y configurator on its website.
Autosteer is one of the core features of Tesla’s Autopilot suite and helps vehicles maintain their position in the center of a lane. The feature, along with Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC), was previously included as standard on all trims, except for the affordable Model 3 and Model Y variants launched last October, which only included TACC.
According to InsideEVs, Tesla’s updated configurator doesn’t include Autosteer as a standard option for all new Model 3 and Model Y orders, regardless of trim level. Interestingly, the vehicle comparison feature on Tesla’s website still shows Autosteer as included with most trims of both models, except for the Standard variants. But the final order summary does not include the feature, even on the top-end Performance versions. TACC, which automatically adjusts vehicle speed based on traffic, remains included.
Tesla has yet to confirm the removal
While Tesla has not officially announced the change, InsideEVs notes that CEO Elon Musk responded to a post on X discussing the update by saying that the cost of Full Self-Driving will increase as its capabilities improve. However, Musk did not directly address the Autosteer removal.
With no official clarification from Tesla so far, buyers interested in the Autosteer will need to carefully review the currently listed features and options before placing an order. The change could be especially notable for buyers upgrading from older Tesla vehicles, where Autosteer was included by default. For new customers, the removal marks a shift in how Tesla bundles its driver-assistance features across its lineup.
