Tesla stock slides as Musk shifts Full Self-Driving to subscription-only, with earnings looming

Tesla stock slides as Musk shifts Full Self-Driving to subscription-only, with earnings looming

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:33 EST — Regular session underway. Tesla (TSLA.O) shares slipped roughly 1.8% to $439.20 Thursday morning, weighed down by a new pricing update for its Full Self-Driving feature and recent legal developments that rattled investors. This shift is significant since Tesla’s valuation hinges heavily on its software prospects. Supporters argue self-driving tech and subscription services offer better margins than vehicle sales. Critics, however, question both customer willingness to pay and regulatory hurdles. Timing matters here. The stock shows little tolerance for anything that clouds near-term revenue, even if it might clarify the longer-term outlook. Musk

Elon Musk net worth at $640B: he could buy every MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL team — and still have $103B left

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 01:25 EST Elon Musk’s fortune has reached a point where he could snap up every team across Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Football League, and the National Hockey League—and still walk away with $103 billion in cash, according to a Benzinga analysis that references Forbes team valuations.

Tesla stock slides as Musk shifts Full Self-Driving to subscription-only

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 4:01 PM EST — After-hours Tesla shares slipped Wednesday following CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company will stop selling its Full Self-Driving software as a one-time purchase. Starting Feb. 14, the feature will be available only via monthly subscription.

Investors want evidence that software and services can step up

Tesla stock slips premarket after Musk says Full Self-Driving will be subscription-only from Feb. 14

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 06:12 EST — Premarket Tesla shares dipped roughly 0.4% to $447.20 in premarket trading Wednesday. This followed CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company will end one-time purchases of its Full Self-Driving software after Feb. 14. (Business Insider) This shift is significant since FSD stands as one of Tesla’s key plays for boosting higher-margin software income, especially now that vehicle demand and pricing are carrying more weight in the core business. Dropping the upfront purchase option might slow customer uptake and alter Tesla’s revenue recognition timeline. Investors, already jittery over how “autonomy” will translate into
