How much does that add to the cost of the car? Does it force you to drive the speed limit?

You are still responsible for driving. You can set how aggressively it drives:

Sloth — The most conservative/slowest mode.
Drives at or below the speed limit, stays in slower lanes, and makes the fewest lane changes.

Chill — Relaxed and laid-back.
Prefers slower lanes and makes minimal lane changes. Still comfortable but less eager to pass.

Standard — Balanced “normal” driving.
Drives at typical speeds and automatically adjusts to match the flow of traffic. This is the default for most people.

Hurry — Faster and more proactive.
Drives above the speed limit (when safe/traffic allows), makes more frequent lane changes, and is noticeably quicker than Standard.

Mad Max — The most aggressive mode (newest addition).
Drives the fastest and makes the most frequent lane changes. It pushes harder than Hurry to keep up with or exceed traffic flow.

I use standard, which typically goes 5 mph over the speed limit, depending on surrounding traffic.

FSD is $100 per month. The car is a blast to drive without FSD (0-60 in 3 seconds). You can turn FSD on or off by month. Around 15% of Tesla drivers fully subscribe to FSD.

There are no other required monthly fees. They do offer a continuous internet connection wherever you go for a small monthly fee.
