Tesla has confirmed that over 285,000 people bought its Full Self-Driving (FSD) package in North America. <\/p>\n

Not 1 million, but more than a lot of people thought.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Full Self-Driving (FSD) package has evolved over the years with some features coming in and out of the package, but for the most part, it consists of a promise to eventually deliver a fully self-driving system through over-the-air software updates.<\/p>\n

For now, it mostly gets you access to Tesla\u2019s Full Self-Driving Beta, which virtually enables the vehicle to do all the tasks related to driving on city streets, but it\u2019s not at a level good enough to be done without driver supervision.<\/p>\n

Drivers need to pay attention at all time and be ready to take control.<\/p>\n

As we previously reported, people\u2019s experience with FSD Beta varies significantly<\/a> with some users enjoying it, but many also think that it makes driving more stressful as there are many disengagements.<\/p>\n

Tesla has never shared the take rate of its FSD package. With the price varying from a few thousand dollars a few years ago to now $15,000, the take rate has likely changed significantly.<\/p>\n

But the automaker has now released a first important piece of information about how the popularity of its FSD package.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets today about a recap of its year, Tesla said that over 285,000 people have purchased FSD in North America:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Continued to ramp vehicle production at Giga Texas & Giga Berlin, with both building 3k Model Y\/week in mid-December
\u2013 Reached 500k+ Solar Panel & Solar Roof installations \ud83c\udfd8\u26a1\ufe0f
\u2013 Enabled anyone in North America who has purchased FSD to request FSD Beta, reaching 285k cars total<\/p>\n

As for the take rate, we can\u2019t confirm exactly how many vehicles with the ability to get FSD Tesla has delivered in North America, but Electrek<\/em> estimates that it is over 1.5 million vehicles.<\/p>\n

285,000 vehicles would mean about a 19% take rate for the Full Self-Driving package.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk has previously said that Tesla had a goal to have 1 million people on FSD Beta by the end of 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

As we expected, it\u2019s nowhere near 1 million people, but if I\u2019m being honest, it\u2019s actually higher than I thought.<\/p>\n

Especially, if it is around a 19% take rate. I would have expected something closer to 10-15%.<\/p>\n

285,000 people at let\u2019s say an average price of $8,000 would mean Tesla collected over $2 billion from FSD buyers.<\/p>\n

But anyway, it\u2019s not really about how many people bought it, it\u2019s about delivering on its promise that it will eventually truly be a self-driving system and so far, there\u2019s no clear path to Tesla delivering on that promise.<\/p>\n
