Tesla’s Full Self-Driving rollout in South Korea is already hitting eye-catching milestones, just weeks after the advanced driver assistance system officially went live in the country.
According to Tesla Korea, local Tesla owners have collectively driven more than 1 million kilometers (621,000 miles) using Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in just one month. To put that into perspective, that distance is enough to circle the entire country of South Korea roughly 480 times, based on the nation’s official coastline length and northern border measurements.
The impressive figure underscores both curiosity and confidence among early users. FSD (Supervised) debuted in South Korea late last month, marking the country as Tesla’s seventh global market where the system is publicly available. Despite its relatively recent arrival, usage appears to be ramping up fast.
The pace is notable, though not entirely unprecedented. When FSD launched in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year, Tesla owners there surpassed 1 million kilometers driven in just two weeks. South Korea took slightly longer to hit the same milestone, but the enthusiasm remains clear, especially considering the country’s dense urban environments and complex traffic patterns.
Tesla has also continued expanding access within the region. Just this week, the company unlocked Full Self-Driving for Cybertrucks in South Korea, marking the first time Tesla’s electric pickup has supported FSD in the country. That move is expected to push usage numbers even higher as more vehicle types gain access to the system.
Globally, Tesla has been leaning hard into FSD adoption, using real-world driving data to improve performance as it inches closer to higher levels of autonomy. While Full Self-Driving still requires active driver supervision, milestones like this offer Tesla a compelling data point as it continues lobbying regulators to approve the system in more regions and showcases real-world usage across international markets.
If South Korea’s first month is any indication, Tesla drivers there aren’t just testing Full Self-Driving — they’re putting it to work in a big way.
