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, called 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 standard on all trim levels except the affordable Model 3 and Model Y variants, which launched last October and only included TACC.
According to InsideEVs, Tesla’s updated configurator does not 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 that Autosteer is included in most trim levels of both models, excluding the standard variants. However, this feature is not included in the final order summary, even on the top-of-the-line performance versions. TACC, which automatically adjusts vehicle speed to traffic, remains included.
Tesla has not yet confirmed the removal
Although Tesla hasn’t officially announced the change, InsideEVs notes that CEO Elon Musk responded to a post on However, Musk didn’t directly address the removal of Autosteer.
Since there is no official clarification from Tesla yet, buyers interested in the Autosteer will need to carefully review the currently listed features and options before placing an order. The change could be particularly important for buyers upgrading from older Tesla vehicles that had Autosteer included as standard. For new customers, the removal represents a change in the way Tesla bundles its driver assistance features across its product lineup.
