Tesla Launches Full Self-Driving in a New Region
Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software introduces advanced semi-autonomous features adapted for right-hand-drive roads with a 30-day free trial for new buyers.
- Tesla officially launched its Full Self-Driving software for purchase in Australia on August 28, 2025, marking its first release in a right-hand-drive market.
- This launch follows the 2020 US beta release and extensive adaptation for Australian road rules, signage, and Hardware 4-equipped Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
- The FSD system manages turns, traffic signals, stop signs, navigation on roads without lane markings, and requires drivers’ active supervision and legal responsibility.
- Tesla sells FSD outright at A$10,100, offers a 30-day free trial for new buyers, and provides a free hardware upgrade to HW3 owners buying FSD, but emphasizes it is not autonomous technology.
- This rollout expands Tesla’s global driver assistance suite and opens pathways to other right-hand-drive markets, while Tesla takes a cautious approach due to regulatory and safety considerations.
