Tesla’s FSD Supervised Quietly Clocks 10 Billion Kilometres Worldwide

Tesla’s push toward automated driving has quietly crossed another enormous milestone, and Australians are now part of that story. The company has confirmed its Full Self-Driving Supervised software has logged more than 10 billion kilometres globally, a figure that underlines just how aggressively Tesla is scaling real world use of its most advanced driver assistance system.

This milestone comes at a key moment for local owners. FSD Supervised only arrived in Australia and New Zealand recently, and within a week Tesla revealed drivers here had already clocked one million kilometres using the software. That early uptake hints at how quickly usage could accelerate as more owners test the system on familiar roads.

A Global Learning Machine, Now Active Locally

Tesla’s latest data was shared as part of an email campaign encouraging owners to explore FSD Supervised and gift a one month trial to friends or family during the holiday period. In that message, Tesla highlighted the scale of its data advantage, noting that vehicles running FSD Supervised have accumulated more than 6.7 billion miles of driving experience.

Converted to local units, that equals roughly 10.8 billion kilometres driven with the system active. Tesla says this vast pool of real world data allows the software to better anticipate hazards, reduce driver workload and lower the likelihood of collisions as it continues to learn.

The timing is no accident. In some markets, including North America, Tesla has been offering free 30 day FSD Supervised trials, a move that is expected to significantly boost usage and data collection heading into 2026.

Expanding Beyond North America

Tesla’s FSD Supervised rollout has gathered momentum well beyond its home market. In recent months, the software has expanded into countries such as South Korea, alongside its launch in Australia and New Zealand.

Europe remains a more complex case. Regulatory frameworks there have not yet approved full driver operated use of FSD Supervised, prompting Tesla to adopt a creative workaround. Earlier this month, the company introduced the system in select European countries as a passenger ride experience rather than a driver controlled feature.

In Italy, France and Germany, residents can now ride along in the front passenger seat while the system navigates urban traffic, busy intersections and everyday congestion. Tesla describes it as a way to demonstrate how the software handles some of the most stressful parts of daily driving, while regulators continue their evaluations.

Why the Kilometres Matter

Behind the headline number sits a more important story about safety and software maturity. Tesla continues to compile and share examples where FSD Supervised has helped avoid crashes or reduce the severity of impacts, using footage pulled directly from vehicles in real world situations.

With each new market added and each promotional trial rolled out, the pace of data collection is expected to climb sharply. More kilometres mean more edge cases, faster refinement and a clearer picture of how automated systems behave outside controlled testing environments.

For Australian drivers, this global momentum matters. The more FSD Supervised is used worldwide, the quicker local versions can benefit from improvements made elsewhere, even if regulations still require drivers to remain fully attentive.

Ten billion kilometres is not a finish line. It is a signal that Tesla’s largest experiment yet is only just gathering speed.
