Tesla CEO Elon Musk has provided yet another update on the release schedule of Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta for Canada.
According to Musk on Tuesday afternoon, February is the month FSD beta will roll out in Canada. This would be the first expansion of FSD beta outside of the United States, which currently about 60,000 testers.
“Will begin limited rollout to Canada this month. Safety is paramount, so we have to confirm no significant issues, given slightly different road rules,” said Musk, replying to a query from @NoahWebb.

Musk again emphasized safety is of the utmost importance, while also again saying there were slightly different road rules in Canada.
Back on January 16, Musk said FSD beta would roll out in Canada in “2-4 weeks”.
Back in October, FSD beta arrived in a limited capacity for a tiny number of owners in Canada, while earlier in September, we saw some private testers share videos of the beta in action.
In November 2021, Musk said “maybe December” when asked about FSD beta in Canada. He said at the time there were “no guarantees” and the delay was due to lots of “incremental testing and code tweaks for different road system in Canada.”
Musk did not clarify who would be the first to receive FSD beta in Canada. Tesla will likely again cautiously roll out the Autopilot add-on to those with the highest Safety Scores, calculated based on an owner’s driving habits, as what happened when FSD beta first started debuting in the United States.
The FSD add-on for Autopilot currently costs $10,600 CAD.
