Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
Subscription-only in the US since February 14, 2026. Provisionally approved in the Netherlands in April 2026 and in several other EU countries since, but there is no EU-wide approval yet.
The numbers
What it is
Tesla's driver-assistance software that requires a driver to stay attentive. Tesla sells it as a subscription and also uses it as its base for robotaxi.
Why it matters to the stock. Software subscriptions are the higher-margin revenue Tesla wants more of. Regulators are also testing the system: NHTSA expanded its probe in March 2026, and California's DMV ruled that Tesla's marketing was misleading.
