Ā Tesla has launched a subscription offering for its newly released Full Self-Driving (FSD) supervised software to all eligible cars in Australia and New Zealand.

The FSD Supervised was released last month, making them the first right-hand-drive markets in the world to obtain the landmark technology. At that time, this software was available on all new vehicles as an option with the current pricing of $10,100, with a monthly subscription to be coming soon.

Now, the company has announced that the subscriptions have gone live in Australia and New Zealand. In a post on X, the company shared: ā€œFSD Supervised subscriptions now available in Australia & New Zealandā€.

Pricing for anyone with an eligible Hardware 4.0 (also known as AI4) capable car in Australia can sign up for $149 per month. In New Zealand, it comes in at $159 per month.

For those customers who already have the Enhanced Autopilot package, upgrades are also available with pricing starting at $75 per month.

According to Tesla, existing customers can upgrade to either of the subscriptions from their app: ā€œYou can do it from the Tesla App. Tap the product tile for feature availability for your vehicle,” it says.

Within the app, the FSD Supervised sits under the ā€œUpgradesā€ section:

  • Upgrades > Software Upgrades > Subscribe

This got some owners with eligible cars quite excited, with one saying: ā€œYou bloody beauty! Download incoming!!ā€

It’s also worth noting that the software isn’t currently available to older, Hardware 3-equipped cars, so the subscription service won’t be available to those owners, much to their frustration. See: “I just want what I paid for”; Tesla’s first Australian customer not happy with FSD treatment
