Tesla launched its Full Self-Driving feature five months ago, which offers some autonomous features without actually being, you know, complete self-driving. The confused name resulted in some bad behavior and dangerous driving. But, instead of rethinking the name, CEO Elon Musk indicated that Tesla will be “adding the “Download Beta” button to the service section of the car display in about 10 days. “
As many things happen, Musk’s announcement came via Twitter shortly after he told his followers that he would offer FSD Beta to anyone who asked. He added the warning to “still be careful” with the technology – but did not clarify that, again, the Tesla is still not able to drive entirely alone.
Musk has been talking a lot about FSD on Twitter lately, suggesting that Full Self-Driving needs some updates that will be available soon, “hopefully next month”, and that the goal is to have the technology offered “much more widely”. It looks like Musk will offer it to anyone who currently drives a Tesla with the update over the air.
Well, anyone he can I catch up. Musk acknowledged that the launch will be varied by region “due to delays in Tesla’s regulatory approval and / or development and internal testing. “

And in an irony, Musk admitted that the word choices Does important when he recognized the decision to name the software “FSD Beta” “to reduce complacency in use and set expectations accordingly. ”Unfortunately, this ‘Beta’ bit is often discarded, and the term is used to connote a technology that has been launched to the public, but is still being developed. It seems like an unfortunate mix of words to make the Tesla’s sound more capable than it is today.
Whatever the case, you can see some new updates available on your Tesla in the next two weeks. It might be. Possibly.
