Tesla Mandates Test Drives to Showcase Full Self-Driving Tech Amid Slow Adoption

Musk is mandating that all new Tesla owners in North America take a test drive to demonstrate the Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology before delivery.

Musk believes almost no one realizes how well the supervised FSD actually works and wants to showcase it.

There are financial incentives to sell the $12,000 FSD add-on, as it has high profit margins for Tesla.

Demand for FSD has struggled after initial hype, with only around 400,000 vehicles estimated to have the FSD beta software.

Recent FSD software updates have sparked hopes that Tesla may soon reach full autonomous driving capabilities without human supervision.
