For testers of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta software, if you’re not safely operating your vehicle, you can get ‘strikes’ and eventually get locked out of the program.
The FSD beta program offers a warning for drivers when there is “improper use of FSD beta”, as indicated by your car’s telemetry data. Tesla offers five FSD strikes before kicking a beta tester out of the program (originally it was 3 strikes). The reasoning is to ensure only the safe operation of vehicles is maintained with FSD beta.
Tesla owners can see how many ‘strikes’ they have accumulated in the FSD beta menu within their car, while also notified by email as well.
So when will Tesla reset FSD beta ‘strikes’? On Sunday morning, Elon Musk replied to an owner that asked if the reset is “coming” for FSD beta ‘strikes’.
Coming

Now, we’re unclear how long exactly it will take for these FSD beta ‘strikes’ to actually reset—because of “Elon time”, but for those wondering, stay patient and eventually you’ll be able to re-join the FSD beta program (despite paying to test it).
Later in the day, Musk added more specific details, saying “hopefully this week.”
Hopefully, this week

Tesla currently has FSD beta 10.69 out, with a wider release of 10.69.1 coming tomorrow. A price increase for FSD is coming to $15,000 for North America in September.
