Tesla achieves 1 million FSD Supervised km in Australia and NZ

Last week, we had a world first take place in Australia with a Tesla driving circumnavigating the country with Tesla’s recently launched full-self-driving (FSD) Supervised. That car alone covered over 13,500 km using Tesla’s latest locally available software.

Now, less than 12 days since FSD Supervised was made available to the public, Tesla has revealed that it’s already been used for more than 1 million kilometres by owners across Australia and New Zealand. 

In a post on Tesla Australia and New Zealand’s account on X, the company shared: “In less than 2 weeks, owners have travelled 1 million kilometres on FSD Supervised in AU & NZ”.

That is on average 80,000 km being driven every day by owners of Tesla vehicles.

It also comes ahead of the company launching its FSD Supervised subscription service for $149 per month in Australia and $159 in New Zealand.

With the subscription making it more accessible for drivers who may not have purchased FSD software outright, the expected distance travelled using the software would see an exponential increase in the coming months.

It’s also worth noting that a big chunk of Tesla’s current fleet in the country is using the older Hardware 3 cameras and software, which could potentially see a version of FSD Supervised in the coming months, further increasing the software’s regular usage across the broader fleet in the country.

Tesla’s FSD Supervised landed to the public in Australia and New Zealand on the morning of 18 September 2025, with some Tesla owners having received it a few weeks earlier.

Its use is expected to grow exponentially as Tesla expands its rollout and test drive program, encouraging more buyers to use the system as part of their daily driving routines.
