Tesla launched its Full Self-Driving feature five months ago, which offers some standalone capabilities without really being, you know, full up self-driving. The confusing name has resulted in misbehavior and dangerous driving. But instead of rethinking the name, CEO Elon Musk has indicated that Tesla will be “adding the “Download beta” button in the Service section of the car screen in about 10 days. “
As many things do, Musk’s announcement came via Twitter shortly after he told his followers that he would offer the beta version of FSD to anyone who asked for it. He added the warning to “be careful” with the technology, but did not clarify that, again, the Tesla is not yet fully capable of driving.
Musk has been chatting tremendously about FSD on Twitter lately, hinting that full autonomous driving needs some updates coming soon, “hopefully, next month,” and that the goal is for the technology to be offered “much more. widely “. It looks like Musk will offer it to anyone currently driving a Tesla with the antenna upgrade.
Well, any of him tin to arrive. Musk acknowledged that the release will vary by region “due to delays in approving regulations and / or Tesla’s internal testing and development. “

And in a twist of irony, Musk admitted that choice of words do mattered when he recognized the decision to put “FSD Beta” software as “tor to reduce the complacency in the use and to establish the expectations suitably ”. Unfortunately, this “Beta” bit is often dropped and the term is used to connote a technology that has been released to the public but is still in development. It seems like an unfortunate mix of words to make Tesla sound more capable than it currently is.
In any case, you may see some new updates available on your Tesla over the next two weeks. May be. Possibly.
