Tesla releases FSD (Supervised) in Sydney, Australia! The software program is prepared!

The video, shared by Tesla Australia & New Zealand on X, lasts round 2.5 minutes and begins from a central Sydney location earlier than weaving via Harbour-side routes. Viewers can see the automobile indicating turns, adjusting speeds, and yielding appropriately, all whereas the motive force supervises with out intervention.

Not solely did the route exhibit Sydney lovely landmarks just like the Opera Home, it really drove throughout the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and for me, one of the crucial spectacular options, it parked itself on the finish of the drive.

Whereas we don’t know what software program model this Tesla was working to attain this drive, Australian Tesla house owners began receiving 2025.20.6.1 this week. Usually the software program builds comprise the FSD codebase vital to attain this drive, however is solely disabled on buyer automobiles. In response to TeslaFi, the most recent construct is 2025.26 which does comprise FSD 12.6.4 and FSD 13.2.9, however isn’t but obtainable in Australia.

With demonstrations now in each Melbourne and Sydney, it supplies a robust indication that the FSD (Supervised) software program is prepared and primed for deployment in Australia, nevertheless there’s nonetheless no official launch date.

Tesla house owners who’ve already shelled out as a lot as A$10,100 for FSD are rising impatient as many bought it years in the past anticipating imminent entry.

The true significance lies in FSD’s potential to cut back accidents and save lives on Australian roads. Nationwide street fatalities reached 1,329 within the 12 months to June 2025, a 3.3% rise from the prior 12 months. The fatality charge stands at 4.9 deaths per 100,000 folks, underscoring the pressing want for safer alternate options.

Worldwide knowledge proves Tesla’s autonomous tech is safer than human drivers. In Q1 2025, autos utilizing Autopilot (together with FSD components) recorded one crash each 7.44 million miles, vastly outperforming the US common of 1 per 955,000 miles with out such techniques.

If extensively adopted right here, FSD may dramatically scale back our street toll by anticipating hazards that fatigue or distraction may miss.

In contrast to opponents tethered to particular zones or {hardware}, Tesla’s end-to-end neural community learns from fleet-wide knowledge, enhancing repeatedly. This implies no expensive lidar or HD maps, simply cameras and AI mimicking human instinct however with superhuman consistency. For right-hand drive markets like ours, these movies dispel doubts about compatibility.
