- Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Full Self-Driving beta will roll out in Canada in two to four weeks.
- Musk first forecast in 2020 that Tesla would release FSD beta in Canada “very soon.”
- He said last year the FSD had to be tweaked for the different road system in Canada.
Elon Musk said Sunday that Tesla will roll out its Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta software in Canada within the next month.
“We will start rolling out FSD beta in Canada cautiously in next 2 to 4 weeks,” Musk tweeted in response to a Twitter user asking for an update.
The Tesla CEO first predicted in a tweet in December 2020 that the FSD beta would be extended to Canada “very soon.”
Musk tweeted in November 2021 that FSD beta would maybe go live in Canada the following month but there were “no guarantees.”
He added that the FSD software required a lot of testing and code tweaks for a different road system in Canada compared to the US.
FSD allows Tesla’s electric vehicles to automatically change lanes, enter and exit highways, recognize stop signs and traffic lights, and park. Despite these abilities, the software doesn’t make the car fully autonomous.
The timeline update on FSD release in Canada follows Musk’s announcement in early January about Tesla raising the price of FSD software from $10,000 to $12,000.
FSD beta is currently available in the US — Tesla released a new FSD version, called the 10.3 update, to drivers in October. Less than 24 hours later, Musk tweeted the company would roll back to version 10.2. because it was “seeing some issues.”
