Elon Musk says Tesla will raise price of FSD by 25% in September

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Sunday announced a 25% price increase for the company’s premium driver assistance system, which is marketed under the name Full Self-Driving, or FSD. The price will increase to $15,000 from $12,000 on Sept. 5, Musk said in a tweet.Today, Tesla charges customers $12,000 upfront for FSD, or $199 per month on a subscription basis.Musk did not immediately mention an increase in the cost of FSD subscriptions and Tesla did not respond to a request for further information.All new Tesla vehicles come with a standard driver assistance package called Autopilot, which includes features like “Traffic-Aware Cruise Control” and “Autosteer.” These rely on cameras, other sensors, hardware and software to automatically keep a Tesla vehicle centered in its lane and traveling at the speed of surrounding traffic.Tesla’s highest-priced driver assistance option, FSD, includes what the company calls “Traffic and Stop Sign Control” and “Navigate on Autopilot” among its features.These more advanced features are intended to let Tesla cars automatically detect and slow down for traffic signs and signals; navigate from highway on-ramp to off-ramp while engaging turn signals; make lane changes and take exits.Tesla tells drivers to remain attentive and be prepared to take over their cars’ steering and braking at any time while using Autopilot or FSD. Its technology does not make Tesla vehicles autonomous.One Tesla feature called Smart Summon allows drivers to use a smartphone and Tesla mobile app like a remote control to call their car from across a parking lot and slowly drive, without anyone behind the wheel, to where they are standing.While some FSD features are also included in a lower-priced option called Enhanced Autopilot, or EAP, only Tesla customers who buy or subscribe to the premium option can request access to FSD Beta, an experimental version of Tesla’s system.FSD Beta users are supposed to obtain a high “Safety Score” from Tesla to get and maintain access to the system.Tesla’s approach has drawn criticism and regulatory scrutiny from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the California Department of Motor Vehicles alike.Still, the company is forging ahead and doing a limited release of the latest version of FSD Beta, to a relatively small pool of users, Musk also tweeted on Sunday.Earlier, he wrote on Twitter, “There are many major code changes, so this will be an extra cautious rollout. Releasing on 8/20 to ~1000 Tesla owners, then 10.69.1 next week to accommodate feedback & release to ~10k customers, then 10.69.2 week after & release to rest of FSD Beta.”Owners who gain access to FSD Beta are able to send feedback to the company via their cars when the system fails or acts glitchy. Tesla previously said 100,000 drivers had already installed FSD Beta.Tesla is planning to make FSD Beta even more mainstream.At the Tesla 2022 Annual Shareholder Meeting on August 4, Musk said that FSD Beta will be available to anyone who requests it by the end of this year. Here’s a quote from Thomson Financial’s transcript of the meeting: “We’re still tracking very much to have widespread deployment of FSD Beta this year in North America. So I should say basically, FSD will be available to anyone who requests it by the end of this year.”Among those who are receiving the limited-release update this weekend are widely followed social media influencers who sell Tesla merchandise and run ad-supported videos on YouTube channels where they review Tesla’s latest releases and more.Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 38 probes into collisions that involved a Tesla vehicle where driver assistance systems including Autopilot and more advanced systems were thought to be a factor. Nineteen fatalities were reported as part of those Tesla-involved collisions under investigation.Separately, California’s DMV recently accused Tesla of deceptive marketing practices with regard to the features in its vehicles, and it is conducting a technical review of Tesla’s systems including FSD Beta.Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s director of Autopilot software, said on Twitter this weekend that “Autopilot prevents ~40 crashes /day where human drivers mistakenly press the accelerator at 100% instead of the brakes.” Tesla generally does not make data about its systems available to third-party researchers for confirmation of its claims. .

Hey la, hey la, commutes are back(ish)! While the gradual re-opening of the world means more time on the roads and tubes, it also means those of us clamoring for designated podcast-listening and reading time are finally back in the game. Through the end of the month, Amazon Prime members can get 3 free months of Audible Premium Plus, the online retailer’s audio entertainment platform featuring thousands of audiobooks, podcasts and more. It also includes one free bestseller or new release of your choice every month, in addition to complete access to Audible’s expansive library. Once the trial ends, it’s $14.95/month (compared to the regular Audible Plus membership at $7.95/month). Don’t have a Prime membership yet but considering it? Check out this guide to see if Amazon Prime is worth it for you. What reviewers say about Audible Premium Plus: The Premium Plus version of the Audible service is excellent for folks who are going to use it frequently to listen to audiobooks or podcasts, according to Wirecutter’s deal editor Nathan Burrow. “The primary difference between Premium Plus and Premium is the inclusion of a book a month of new releases and best sellers,” he tells MarketWatch Picks. “If you’re interested in these hot summer beach reads that will be on people’s radar this summer, then this trial is a great way to pursue it, see if it’s right for you and see if you want to continue.” Also, Burrow notes as far as subscriptions go, Audible is good at reminding you the triall is about to be over — they send a dedicated reminder email when your three months is almost up. Learn more: Amazon Prime members can get 3 free months of Audible Premium Plus through July 31. Another great feature of the Premium Plus offering: You can bank the monthly bestseller or new release credits you don’t use. “The credits you earn are not ‘use or lose’,” writes product and tech review site DyerNews.com. “Instead, unused credits will roll over to the next month. That way if there’s a month where you forget to use your credit or just can’t find an appealing title, you can hold onto it for the future.” For its part, Wirecutter includes Audible Premium Plus on a number of its gift guides. “We think it’s a great move if you’re in need of a last minute gift,” Burrow says. “This is a thing that you can get in a really timely way and still make somebody’s day when their birthday rolls around.” Learn more: Amazon Prime members can get 3 free months of Audible Premium Plus through July 31. Some other things to consider: If you’re not a huge bookworm and/or you already listen to podcasts on another streaming platform, you may not get your money’s worth once the trial is through. “Ultimately with all these trials, we recommend ensuring that you’ve done an audit of your subscription services and perhaps decide from there whether or not you want to continue,” Burrow says. About this column: Since you’re here, let me introduce myself: I’m Maddy Perkins, deputy commerce editor for MarketWatch Picks. I’m a recent convert to the audiobook format and took advantage of this deal myself! I’m also a big online shopper who loves a good deal — particularly when it comes to cool kitchen gadgets, electronics, fashion and beauty products.

YouTube testing feature that allows video zoom in to premium subscribers

Video sharing platform YouTube has been testing a new mobile app feature with its premium subscribers that will allow them to zoom in on any video.

According to The Verge, 9to5Google has noted that the latest opt-in experimental feature enables a pinch-to-zoom gesture for videos and it works both in portrait and full-screen landscape view.

As per the company, the zoom feature will remain in testing until September 1st, giving YouTube about a month to gather user feedback and refine things before potentially rolling it out more widely.

To enable pinch to zoom, open YouTube’s settings menu either on your phone or from the website. As long as you’re subscribed to YouTube Premium, there should be a “try new features” section, reported The Verge.

Currently, the only feature available for testing is the zoom function. It seems there might be a delay between opting for the test and actually being able to use the pinch gesture, as The Verge in its testing was unable to zoom in closer on any videos immediately after toggling it on. But once it’s active, users should be able to zoom in at up to 8x.

There are already ways to zoom in on YouTube’s content with various accessibility functions on Android and iOS, and obviously, it’s very easy to do so in a desktop browser. But having it as an optional native feature in the mobile app is all the more convenient.

Last month, YouTube finally delivered picture-in-picture mode for iPhone and iPad after first testing it among premium customers; that hugely useful feature has long been available on Android, as per The Verge.(Only the headline and picture of this report may have been reworked by the Business Standard staff; the rest of the content is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

Spotify premium customers to get separate play, shuffle buttons

Audio streaming service Spotify is completely separating its play and shuffle buttons, however, this feature will only be available for its Premium subscribers.

According to The Verge, Spotify has announced that it’s beginning to roll out individual buttons for the two functions, which will replace the combined play/shuffle button that’s currently at the top of playlists and artist pages.

The change is expected to hit Android and iOS devices “in the coming weeks.”

“This new change will allow you to choose the mode you prefer at the top of playlists and albums and listen the way you want to. Whether you love the joy of the unexpected with Shuffle mode or prefer listening to tunes in order by simply pressing Play, Spotify has you covered,” Spotify wrote on its blog, reported The Verge.

Spotify’s penchant for shuffling tracks has, at times, drawn the frustration of artists who want their albums to be heard in the original running order. “We don’t create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason,” Adele tweeted last year.

This led Spotify to display the standard play button by default on album pages instead of the play/shuffle combo.

It seems a bit ludicrous that Spotify is now using buttons and its user interface as a differentiator between the service’s free and paid offerings,

Unfortunately, users still won’t be able to play or shuffle any Spotify HiFi tracks. It’s now been almost 18 months since Spotify announced its lossless-quality streaming tier, and the company has still not rolled it out for subscribers, as per The Verge.(Only the headline and picture of this report may have been reworked by the Business Standard staff; the rest of the content is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

Why You Probably Shouldn’t Pay for Telegram Premium

Photo: Diego Thomazini (Shutterstock)No free service remains free forever. For some apps, such as Instagram, advertising pays the price of your admission—and you’ll likely see more ads the longer the service has been around. Others eventually try to get their users to pay a subscription fee. Telegram, the popular messaging app that competes with WhatsApp, has taken the latter route.
Telegram Premium is a paid subscription targeted at Telegram’s most dedicated users. It adds features such as increased limits for file sizes and groups, dedicated stickers, and verification badges for paid members. However, none of those features will make a difference to people who use Telegram as a messaging app, rather than something more like a Discord server. Telegram is trying to target a small section of its user base to fund its server and developer costs, and most people are better off not paying for the service. Here’s why.The best features of Telegram Premium (and why you don’t need them)
Telegram has a very generous free tier that lets you chat, upload files up to 2GB, and create groups of up to 500 people. Telegram Premium lets you upload files as large as 4GB, create groups of up to 1,000 members, and connect six different phone numbers to your account. Those added features are nice to have, but it’s clear the free tier is good enough for almost everyone.
A paid subscription also doubles a few other limits that will only be helpful for those who practically live inside Telegram. For example, the premium tier bumps up the number of chat folders to 20 (from 10), lets you store 200 chats per folder (up from 100), save up to 400 gifs to your account (as opposed to 200), and lets you reserve 20 public links (up from 10).A legitimately great feature for paid Telegram enthusiasts is the removal of download speed limits within the app. You could theoretically use this as an opportunity to stop using WeTransfer or another cloud storage service in favor of Telegram. The big draw for many will be the ability to better manage your chats. Telegram Premium’s chat management features let you hide chats from people who aren’t in your contact lists and automatically archive chats from people who spam you. (That said, Telegram’s free tier allows you to automatically delete chats, too.)Telegram Premium will also allow you to transcribe incoming voice messages quickly, but only certain languages are supported.Otherwise, you get a profile badge to brag to others that you’re giving Telegram money, unique emoji reactions, animated profile pictures, and premium stickers. Still, if one premium user adds a unique emoji reaction to a message, those on the free tier can tap it to “use” the reaction too, and the free version of the app already includes a ton of stickers.
How much does Telegram Premium cost and should you get it?Telegram Premium costs $5 per month, and you can subscribe from the app on all platforms. Based on the feature set that Telegram is offering at the moment, though, most people shouldn’t consider it.You will be able to continue using Telegram for free, and the ads in Telegram are so few that most of its users won’t be seeing them anyway. In short, the free tier is good enough for almost everyone.If you’re a dedicated Telegram user who hosts large groups and uses the app to send files all the time, then the paid subscription offers a good value. If nothing else, its chat management features alone are worth the asking price—the ability to automatically archive and hide chats is great if you are a heavy use. But at its current price, Telegram Premium is only worth it for a small subset of its user base. If you aren’t sure if that’s you, it probably isn’t.
