Tesla has shared its roadmap for the rest of 2024 and early 2025, hinting that Full Self-Driving (FSD) could launch in Europe and China in the first quarter of next year, pending regulatory approval in each region. Elon Musk has previously expressed optimism that the necessary approvals could come by the end of this year. In April, The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese authorities had tentatively greenlit Tesla’s FSD software for the country, though the status with European Union regulators remains uncertain.
Replying to Tesla’s original post, Musk added that he hopes FSD will be available in Right-Hand Drive (RHD) markets by the end of Q1 or early Q2 next year. This likely refers to countries such as the UK, Hong Kong, and Macau. Additionally, Tesla announced that FSD will be available for the Cybertruck later this month, along with the Autopark feature. In October, Tesla plans to enhance FSD with unpark, park, and reverse functions.
The FSD software is not free—customers need to pay to unlock its semi-autonomous capabilities. In the US, Tesla owners can purchase FSD outright for $8,000 or subscribe to the supervised version for $99 per month.
