Tesla officially launches the FSD market in Australia, forever changing transport sector
Tesla announced its full self -government (FSD), which supervised the software for all eligible cars in Australia and New Zealand, making them the first right -powered markets to gain the technology of landmarks.
Last week, we postponed that Tesla started sending early supervision of FSD software invitations to nationwide customers with capable hardware 4.0 (also known as AI4) capable cars in Australia and New Zealand.
Now, existing FSD customers under supervision with Hardware 4.0 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles and who have prepaid for FSDs will be able to update the update from Thursday morning. This is done with an update through the air.
The FSD supervisor will also be available on all new vehicles as an option with a current price of $ 10,100. There are also plans for FSD as monthly regulations, with Australian prices are around $ 149/month.
Tesla describes technology as the future of transport.
“Tesla uses billions of kilometers of anonymous real -world management data for FSD training (under supervision) to take care of the most stressed part of the daily management while helping to increase road owners and others,” he says.
“When allowed, Tesla vehicles can drive people almot anywhere under the active driver supervision.”
According to Tesla, this software is a practical function and does not mean that car cars will be and drivers will have to keep full control of the driver’s seat, even if they also claim to require a “minimum” driver intervention.
“FSD (under supervision) is a practical function that a fully attentive driver with another deposit must be used and does not make the vehicle autonomous,” says the company. “Drivers must always become a proper check of the vehicle, pay attention and be ready to take immediately.”
In the event that the driver is seen to be paid attention, the warning warning will be issued to pay attention.
If ignored on multiple occasions and the driver does not use the force on the steering wheel, the system will not be unavailable to this unity. If the controller does not work, the vehicle automatically turns on dangerous lights and slows down to a complete stop.
The FSD supervision system has been trained using billions of kilometers of data in the real world and, according to the company, can cause daily stress stress free and safer for all road users.
After turning on, active software under FSD supervision can now get people in Australia and in New Zealand to its destination with minimal intervention.
In May 2025, Tesla released a video about its under supervision with full shooting (FSD), which showed that the Australian roads in Melbourne run Tesla Model 3 without the driver’s intervention.
Two months later in July, Tesla released another video showing the FSD’s supervisory path along the Sydney streets.
In August, Tesla shared a video about FSD testing in New Zealand and emphasized its capacity on the Inner-City narrow streets in Auckland. While driving, the model 3 sedan could see the Gooir Surround section of a tight road that presented what the system is the streets of Inn Inner-City.
These videos stressed that Tesla testing is understood that the FSD will bring FSDs to Australia and New Zealand in front of a trailer video that we saw about the software “coming” to our market.
The introduction of the system on local roads comes after the system was originally released in the left drive as a beta version years ago.
It is also worth noting that at the beginning of this year it was launched on multiple left -drive markets such as Mexico, China (City Streets).
With a formal publication of the public, it can now be Avaible for customers, which is the main milestone for Tesla’s local efforts with Australia and New Zealand, who is the first right -powered market to land software before Great Britain and others.
After I recently tested the FSD under the supervision of Melbourne and Regional Victoria, I can confidently say that our roads can do it incredibly well for the initial release and quite confidently solve almost all road scenarios.
We are looking forward to more in-Depph revisions of the system in the coming days, but in the meantime, Tesla is most appreciated by the product throughout the country. This means a almost changing moment changing the game in the future of our transport sector in Australia.
