Full Self-Driving (FSD)

01

Current status

FSD (Supervised) is currently offered as a monthly subscription and requires the driver to remain attentive at all times. Active subscriptions reached 1.48M in Q2 2026 (up 56% YoY, the largest quarterly add in Tesla's history), with more than 55% of new North American deliveries taking an FSD option at time of purchase. Tesla AI said on September 4, 2026 that FSD Supervised v14.3.9 Automatic Collision Evasion - which can take steering, braking, and acceleration when AEB may not prevent an imminent collision - would begin rolling out shortly; it remains a supervised feature, not a Robotaxi milestone. European regulatory clearance is expanding: after a Dutch type approval in April 2026, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, and Slovenia (confirmed September 8, 2026) have cleared FSD (Supervised) for public roads, making it six EU markets; Tesla Europe said the Slovenian rollout will begin soon. Italy has filed to adopt the Dutch approval, while Germany, France, Spain, and the Czech Republic are holding out for a coordinated EU-wide decision. The next qualified-majority TCMV vote is still preliminarily expected around October 6, 2026.

  1. Oct 2026

    Move Robotaxi to 24/7 hours

    Tesla's paid Robotaxi network currently runs 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. across Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. AI lead Ashok Elluswamy said on September 4, 2026 that round-the-clock service could arrive in about a month once the next Full Self-Driving v15-plan technology merges. He did not name cities or say whether overnight hours would cover Cybercab, Model Y, or both. Las Vegas is still not listed on tesla.com/robotaxi.

  1. Tesla renames FSD to Assisted Driving in Europe

    Tesla European product pages now sell the supervised driver-assistance package as Tesla Assisted Driving instead of Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Germany Federal Ministry of Transport said on Oct. 6 that the FSD name was misleading, that Tesla offered the new name in September talks, that the driver remains fully responsible, and that Germany will back EU approval with a speed-limit overshoot of at most 10 percent. Electrek reported eight EU countries listed as approved, not including Germany, while tesla.com/fsd still used the U.S. FSD name.

  2. Congressman presses DOT over Tesla sleeping-driver videos

    Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi wrote Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on September 9, 2026 asking what NHTSA is doing about Autopilot and Full Self-Driving after an NBC News review found 43 videos of drivers who appear asleep in moving Teslas, 17 of them posted this year. The letter cites NHTSA engineering analysis EA26002 covering about 3.2 million FSD-equipped vehicles and gives Duffy until September 30 to answer. Krishnamoorthi also questioned a cabin message that says drowsiness was detected and tells the driver to stay focused with FSD.

  3. Tesla denies rumors of FSD pullback in China

    Tesla said on August 27 that rumors claiming it had vacated its Shanghai data center and was withdrawing from a planned China launch of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) were false, and that it reported the claims to police. The rumors spread after Tesla's US website listed 12 markets selling FSD Supervised subscriptions, including the United States, Canada, Australia, South Korea, and several European countries, without listing China; Tesla said its Shanghai data center remains fully operational and that it is accelerating hiring for driver-assistance roles.

  4. Tesla sets September 3 date for Cybercab launch event

    Tesla confirmed it will hold an invite-only, livestreamed event on September 3 in Austin to unveil the production version of its Cybercab, the steering-wheel-free, pedal-free two-seat robotaxi built to run on Full Self-Driving software. The confirmed date replaces Tesla's earlier internal target of an Austin public rollout sometime in August, which had not been officially confirmed.

  5. Reuters: Tesla pushed Dutch regulator to keep FSD review secret

    A Reuters investigation published August 6 found Tesla has pressed the Dutch vehicle authority RDW since late 2024 to keep confidential the documentation behind its approval of Full Self-Driving in the Netherlands, citing commercial-secrets concerns; RDW echoed that language in refusing to disclose how it evaluated the system's safety. Regulators in several other European countries, including Germany, Norway and Denmark, told Reuters they similarly could not release FSD testing or performance data, and Norway's road authority said the data it reviewed differs from what Tesla publishes on its own website.
