Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) program has quietly crossed another massive milestone, and this one puts into perspective just how much real-world data the company is now sitting on. According to Tesla’s newly launched FSD safety page, owners have collectively driven more than 7 billion miles using Full Self-Driving (Supervised).
That number includes over 2.5 billion autonomous miles on city roads. Tesla rolled out the dedicated safety page last month, complete with a live mileage counter that updates as owners continue to rack up autonomous miles. The figure is particularly notable given Tesla’s own disclaimer that the total may actually be higher, as it may not fully account for mileage added by a rapidly growing global fleet or recent free trial periods.
On its website, Tesla reiterates what it believes this mountain of data proves: “FSD (Supervised) enables your vehicle to drive you almost anywhere with your active supervision, requiring minimal intervention. When engaged and under your active supervision, your likelihood of being in a collision goes down.” That claim is central to Tesla’s ongoing push to convince regulators — and skeptical drivers — that autonomy at scale can be safer than traditional human driving.
The 7 billion–mile milestone comes as FSD continues to expand internationally. Earlier this week, Tesla hit a major benchmark in South Korea, where drivers surpassed 1 million kilometers on FSD just one month after launch. South Korea is Tesla’s seventh and newest market for Full Self-Driving, as the company continues lobbying for broader approval in regions like the EU, where it has even been offering FSD ride-alongs to lawmakers and the public.
On the software side, Tesla has been iterating aggressively. One of the more recent public releases, FSD v14.2.1, started allowing limited texting behind the wheel when road and traffic conditions permit — a controversial but telling step toward reducing driver workload. Meanwhile, Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet in Austin, Texas, is testing a more advanced “unsupervised” version of FSD. That system recently made headlines after autonomously chauffeuring Elon Musk around the city with what he described as “perfect driving.”
With FSD v14.3 reportedly around the corner and teased as the “last big piece” of the autonomy puzzle, the growing mileage counter isn’t just a flex — it’s Tesla’s strongest argument yet that scale and data might ultimately win the self-driving race.
