Tesla is moving FSD to subscription-only, which the author views as positive for shareholders due to predictable recurring revenue.

TSLA — LONG The author argues Tesla's shift of FSD to subscription-only from February 14 is a good decision for shareholders because it provides predictable subscription income. This shift is linked to Musk's 2025 CEO Performance Award requiring 10 million active FSD subscriptions over the next decade, with only about 12% of the fleet currently paying for FSD. The main stated downside is for Tesla owners who prefer ownership over recurring payments.

For Tesla Shareholders, it sounds like a good decision, because it will provide Tesla with predictable subscription income.
