Tesla is updating how it handles subscriptions to its services. Until now, a 30-day plan for Full Self-Driving or Premium Connectivity would run out exactly 30 days after activation, even if the car spent part of that time at an authorized repair facility.In practice, owners lost days whenever the vehicle sat in a Tesla service center. Those stretches weren’t reflected in the subscription term, effectively shortening the access they had paid for.Tesla has now revised the policy to ensure customers receive the full value of their subscriptions. If a visit to a Tesla service center lasts longer than a day, the company will extend the subscription to Full Self-Driving or Premium Connectivity by the length of that service appointment.It’s a small change with a clear upside: owners are no longer penalized for downtime beyond their control. The subscription clock now better matches real-world access—an adjustment that brings welcome clarity and a sense of fairness to the ownership experience.
