Tesla owners in Australia and New Zealand have collectively logged more than one million kilometers (621,000 miles) using Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in less than two weeks since the feature’s public launch. The milestone was announced Monday by Tesla Australia & New Zealand (@TeslaAUNZ) on X.
According to Tesla, that figure is roughly equivalent to 67 laps around Australia or more than 600 trips between Auckland and Invercargill. Earlier this month, one Australian owner actually drove 13,577 km (8,436 miles) around the entire continent using FSD (Supervised), marking what they described as the first circumnavigation of a whole continent with Tesla’s driver-assistance system.
Tesla began rolling out FSD (Supervised) in Australia and New Zealand in mid-September, following a soft media launch late last month. The system quickly won praise from both local tech reviewers and mainstream media outlets for its ability to confidently handle city traffic, roundabouts, and even unmarked rural roads.
FSD (Supervised) is now available to all Model 3 and Model Y owners in the region equipped with Tesla’s latest Hardware 4 platform (also known as HW4 or AI4). Existing customers who previously purchased the Full Self-Driving package can use the software immediately following an over-the-air update. New buyers can add it as an optional upgrade priced at $10,100 AUD or $11,400 NZD. Tesla also confirmed plans to introduce subscription pricing at $149 AUD or $159 NZD per month in the near future, offering a more flexible way to access the software.
In Australia alone, Tesla owners are now driving more than 83,200 km (51,700 miles) per day on FSD (Supervised). That’s still a small fraction of the 17.7 million km (11 million miles) driven daily worldwide, but the numbers highlight how quickly adoption is ramping up in new markets.
As Tesla continues to refine FSD globally, the company’s software-first approach to autonomy is clearly resonating with owners across both sides of the Tasman Sea. Tesla is set to start rolling out FSD version 14, the latest iteration of its driver-assistance system and what CEO Elon Musk previously called the second biggest update since FSD 12, later this week.
