What is the price of Tesla sensor car?

There is no official Tesla model named a “sensor car.” Prices depend on the model you choose and on optional autonomy features. Here is a current snapshot of typical price ranges for Tesla vehicles and the associated autonomy add-ons, as of 2025.


Base prices by Tesla model


The following ranges reflect typical starting prices in the United States and can vary by trim, options, and regional factors. Always check Tesla’s official site for the latest figures.



  • Model 3: roughly $40,000–$50,000

  • Model Y: roughly $45,000–$60,000

  • Model S: roughly $85,000–$110,000

  • Model X: roughly $95,000–$125,000


Prices shown are before taxes, destination/delivery charges, incentives, and local fees. They can shift with new configurations, supply, and regional pricing policies.


Autonomy features and sensor-related add-ons


Many buyers consider autonomy options in addition to the base vehicle price. Here are the common pricing paths for Tesla’s driver-assistance features.



  • Full Self-Driving (FSD) package (one-time purchase): roughly $15,000–$22,000, depending on year and region.

  • FSD subscription (monthly): roughly $199–$299 per month in the United States, with regional variations.

  • Hardware and sensors: Teslas come with the onboard sensor suite and computer required for Autopilot/FSD; software capabilities depend on regulatory approval and updates. There is no separate “sensor car” package by default beyond these features.

  • Other considerations: Activation, eligibility, and feature availability can vary by country or state, and price can change with software revisions.


Note: Autonomy pricing and availability are subject to change and may differ by market. Always verify current numbers on Tesla’s official website for your region.


Other costs to consider


Beyond the sticker price, buyers should budget for ancillary costs that affect total ownership.



  • Delivery/destination charges and applicable taxes

  • Vehicle insurance, which varies by location and driver profile

  • Registration, maintenance, and potential warranty costs

  • Incentives, rebates, or credits that may apply locally


Conclusion: The overall outlay can be substantially higher than the base price, once options and regional charges are included.


Summary


There isn’t a single “sensor car” price to report. Tesla’s cost depends on the model you pick and whether you add autonomy features like Full Self-Driving. Base price ranges span roughly from the low to mid-$40,000s for the Model 3 up to well over $100,000 for the top-end models, with FSD adding a substantial optional cost. For the most accurate figure, consult Tesla’s official regional pricing and consider delivery, taxes, and insurance in your budget.
