A month for All Teslas

Furthermore, Musk confirmed that Tesla car owners in the U.S. will get one month of FSD trial by this week.

These are major developments in full self-driving and the company’s CEO wants to rally ahead in sales with these new FSD promotions.

This recalls his post from last year where Musk mentioned “Once FSD is super smooth (not just safe), we will roll out a free month trial for all cars in North America.”

Tesla is currently testing FSD version 12 in the U.S. and the company is releasing new beta builds with improvements. Reviews from testers suggest that FSD is much smoother than version 11.
