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, dubbed 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 included as standard on all trims, except for the affordable Model 3 and Model Y variants launched last October, which only included TACC.
According to InsideEVs, Tesla’s updated configurator doesn’t 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 Autosteer as included with most trims of both models, except for the Standard variants. But the final order summary does not include the feature, even on the top-end Performance versions. TACC, which automatically adjusts vehicle speed based on traffic, remains included.
While Tesla has not officially announced the change, InsideEVs notes that CEO Elon Musk responded to a post on X discussing the update by saying that the cost of Full Self-Driving will increase as its capabilities improve. However, Musk did not directly address the Autosteer removal.
With no official clarification from Tesla so far, buyers interested in the Autosteer will need to carefully review the currently listed features and options before placing an order. The change could be especially notable for buyers upgrading from older Tesla vehicles, where Autosteer was included by default. For new customers, the removal marks a shift in how Tesla bundles its driver-assistance features across its lineup.
It looks like Waze is finally ready to make good on some old promises. After a long stretch of silence, the Google-owned navigation app has started sending out teaser emails confirming that a whole raft of “new” driving features is about to hit our screens. I say “new” with a bit of hesitation because, if you have been following the news, you might remember these exact features being announced way back in early 2024. They were supposed to be the next big thing, but aside from a few lucky testers, most of us never saw them. Now, nearly two years later, Waze says they are rolling out “over the coming weeks.” Better late than never, right?
The core of this update is about giving drivers a “heads up” on the physical stuff that actually disrupts a drive. We are finally getting specific warnings for things like speed bumps, sharp curves, and approaching toll booths. It sounds simple, but anyone who has hit a hidden speed bump at 30 mph knows how valuable that little icon can be. The goal is to give you enough context to react smoothly rather than slamming on the brakes at the last second.
Volvo has announced its latest, all-electric mid-size SUV — the EX60 — as a “game-changer” step in its electric lineup. The EV offers excellent range, fast charging, Google Gemini AI integration, and a premium audio experience that rivals models like the Tesla Model Y and the BMW iX3.
The EX60 sits between the smaller EX40 and the larger three-row EX90 in the automaker’s global lineup, effectively replacing the ICE-powered XC60 as a fully-electric, family-friendly SUV.
Garages aren’t just for parking cars or storing boxes anymore. They’re becoming full-on workshops – spaces where oil changes, brake jobs, furniture building, and weekend repair projects all happen under one roof. With DIY culture booming, there’s a growing demand for versatile, durable, and affordable tools. VEVOR’s latest launch aims to meet this demand.
The company is introducing two new impact socket sets: the VEVOR Impact Socket Set 3/8” Drive, 50-Piece Standard SAE (5/16 to 3/4 inch) & Metric (8 to 22 mm) Size, and the VEVOR 1/2″ Drive Impact Socket Set, 29-Piece Deep Sockets Standard SAE (3/8 to 1 inch) and Metric (10 to 24 mm) Size.
