Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced plans to offer fully self-driving capabilities as a one-month free trial to all Tesla owners in North America. After the Tesla FSD has been approved by regulators in specific countries and determined to be safe on local roads. The company plans to expand the program globally. However, Elon Musk has yet to say when Tesla owners can access the free trial.
In response to a Twitter user who asked when Tesla plans to offer FSD subscriptions in Canada, the manager said it will happen when the ADAS feature is “very smooth.”
Tesla FSD Beta Development
Musk also said friction wasn’t Tesla’s top priority in developing the FSD beta. Rather safety was the number one priority. And Tesla wouldn’t improve the experience until safety reached an acceptable level. Read on to know more on Tesla FSD v11.
Although the FSD beta software does not yet allow cars to drive fully autonomously, it automates some driving tasks in city streets and on highways. Still, the driver remains alert and in control of the vehicle. Since FSD is technically still in beta, Tesla aims to use the data collected during testing to train and improve the system.
Last week, Tesla initiated the release of the most recent version of FSD Beta, namely 11.4.2 (2023.7.10). While Tesla introduced several enhancements to lane handling in this update, it encountered significant shortcomings in U-turn tests.
Chuck Cook, an experienced tester of FSD Beta over the past three years, decided to conduct U-turn tests using his Tesla Model 3 equipped with the v11.4.2 software. During these tests, Chuck found himself intervening on multiple occasions, either by manually initiating a U-turn through the accelerator pedal or by assuming control of the steering wheel (resulting in disengagement).
What Did Elon Musk Tweet About Tesla FSD Free Trial?
Musk said last November that the Tesla FSD beta was available to everyone in North America.
Those in North America who purchase the self-driving Tesla option can now request it from the car screen. The Tesla Autopilot/AI team reached an important milestone. ‘’Congratulations!” Tesla CEO twitted.
However, Tesla faces tougher Tesla FSD update regulations outside of North America. European drivers only have standard ADAS. It includes auto in-line steering, automatic braking, and automatic highway on/off ramp navigation, Autopilot. A new ADAS regulation is in the works at the European Commission, which is expected to be available by September 2024. It is important to gather all the information about FSD beta Tesla.
Tesla plans to begin large-scale FSD testing in Asian markets such as China, where Tesla Autopilot is available. Musk is now defending his statements about the system’s functionality in the case of the family of an Apple engineer who died in a car accident while using autopilot.
Is there any Subscription Fee?
Concerning the first inquiry that Musk was answering about when an FSD membership choice would be accessible in Canada, he sadly gave no response. Numerous Canadians have been requesting the membership, accessible in the US, since mid-2021 for $199 monthly.
Tesla FSD Beta is unusable in many parts of the country. Then, at that point, there’s likewise the exorbitant cost, which is presently $19,500, before charges.
