Tesla's Self-Driving Software Hits Record Growth
FSD subscribers approach 1.5 million, but human driver still required.
1Tesla's FSD Software Growing Rapidly
Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software added 200,000 new users in Q2, bringing the total number of subscribers close to 1.5 million. This marks the company's largest single-quarter growth on record.
2Shift to Subscription Model
Tesla removed the one-time payment option on February 14, transitioning FSD to a monthly subscription model. Currently, 45% of FSD users are paying $99 per month.
3Financial Impact of FSD
The shift to a monthly subscription model for FSD has created a recurring revenue stream of over $65 million per month for Tesla, significantly contributing to the company's financial performance.
4Global Expansion of FSD
The FSD software is now available in 12 countries following a European expansion that began in the Netherlands in April and has since reached Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium.
5Human Driver Still Required
The FSD software remains a supervised system requiring the driver to keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road at all times. The unsupervised version is only used in a small robotaxi fleet in Austin, Dallas, and Houston.
6Future Goals
CEO Elon Musk's compensation package sets reaching 10 million active FSD subscribers as a milestone. At the current growth rate, achieving this target could take over a decade.
