I had it in my head somehow that the only version of the FSD out was the beta, didn’t realize the beta was a layer on top of the paid FSD package. Cutting off beta access seems reasonable here if the paid FSD package wasn’t rescinded.
FSD - Tesla’s auto-drive that is anything but “Full” and essentially a live beta, and a $10k option.
FSD Beta - Tesla’s latest FSD software that’s somewhere between alpha and beta status. Free for those who qualify, request access, and have paid for FSD.

imo the distinction is deliberately obtuse, people pay 10k thinking they're getting FSD, and you do get auto lane change and smart summon, but stop signs and navigating autopilot are behind the safety-scored limited rollout.
It’s clear that many or most people are paying that money thinking they’re going to get the Beta features.
