With the release of the 2021.32.22 software update last week, Tesla finally deployed the Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta button to owners across the US. After pressing the button Tesla would begin monitoring your driving behaviour using their Insurance calculator to calculate a Safety Score.
This Safety Score is based on five factors and after one week of monitoring would determine whether you were a good enough driver to download the self-driving software to your vehicle.
The one part that was still missing was what your score would need to be to pass the test. CEO Elon Musk has now provided that answer, as well how the company plans to roll it out to those who do.
Much to the dismay of many owners, the first few days will require a perfect 100 out of 100 score. After this the threshold drops by one point increments to 99, 98, and so on.
First few days probably 100/100, then 99, 98, etc.
The first owners who have that perfect score after 7 days of grading will get to download V10.2 of the FSD beta software at midnight on Friday October 1. The company will then add roughly 1,000 more per day after that, prioritized by their Safety Score, Musk explained.
Wow, lot of interest in FSD beta! Plan is to roll out version 10.2 midnight Friday, then on-ramp ~1000 owners/day, prioritized by safety rating.
UPDATE: In a later tweet, Musk clarified that V10.2 will be released “a week from Friday”, meaning October 8, 2021. Without further clarification, this could also mean those with the button won’t get to download the software until then.
Apologies, 10.2 release will be a week from Friday
A perfect 100 rating has not been uncommon to see over the first few days of testing. However we have also seen many with scores well below that. It appears the most sensitive factor is the front collision warning (FCW), which appears to be easily triggered in heavy traffic situations like rush-hour or downtown city traffic.
If you are one of those people, the good news is there are still a few days left to hopefully improve your score into the 90s, or even to 100.
What’s your Safety Score so far? Let us know in the comments below.
Most drivers are expected to have a Safety Score of 80 or above. To see more details about Safety Scores and how they're calculated, you need to determine if you are currently enrolled in version 2.1, version 2.0 or a previous version.
Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta is a level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that automates all aspects of driving on city streets and highways, but it requires the driver's attention at all times – hence why it is still only a level 2 system despite its name.
The Safety Score is a value between 0 and 100, where a higher score indicates safer driving. Most drivers are expected to have a Safety Score of 80 or above.
The benchmark for the Safety Score is set to 80 by default but you can change this in My Benchmarks. Harsh driving incidents lower this score. The score is calculated by an algorithm based on various factors, including the number of moderate and severe: Harsh acceleration events.
The Tesla Safety Score is easy to access through the Tesla app on your phone. Having a good Tesla Safety Score is useful for not only gaining access to the automaker's internal development programs, like Full Self-Driving (FSD), but, depending on where you live, it can also help you pay less for insurance.
Tesla is pushing a free one-month trial of its FSD Beta driver-assistance software to US customers. Tesla is about to start giving every customer in the U.S. a one-month trial of its $12,000 driver-assistance system, which it calls Full Self-Driving Beta, provided they have a car with the compatible hardware.
As of today, January 23, 2024, there are approximately 400,000 Tesla vehicles in North America with access to the Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta program. This represents a significant increase from the 160,000 users reported in September 2022.
As your Safety Score increases, your insurance premium decreases. The safer you drive, the less you pay. Unlike any other telematics or usage-based insurance products, you do not need an additional device in your Tesla vehicle to track your driving habits.
Tesla's Safety Score system creates a score of 0-100 for every driver. It is influenced by factors like how many forward collision warnings the driver receives, how many hard braking occurrences a driver has, and how much time the driver spends speeding at an excessive rate.
Tesla Inc (Tesla) has a moderate risk profile and is one of the top fifty companies based on our proprietary risk assessment of vehicle manufacturing sector in the automotive industry.
It offered an extra layer of safety and navigation help while making the whole experience more relaxing. But the product isn't at truly self-driving-taxi-level yet. And using FSD to navigate to and from work, school, or the grocery store didn't make a lot of sense after the novelty wore off.
Tesla Insurance determines your premium using several factors like what vehicle you drive, where you live, how much you drive, what coverage you select and the vehicle's monthly Safety Score. The safer you drive, the higher your Safety Score and the lower your insurance premium.
The driving behaviors included in the safety score are those you see in the individual trip maps. If a score is under 100%, we encourage you to review individual trips maps to check for areas of improvement.
The driver has up to three strikes for vehicles without a cabin camera and five for those equipped with them. More recently Tesla changed their policy to reset FSD suspensions on an individual basis after "approximately two weeks," according to Tesla.

Safety Score (Beta) is now available for California Tesla Insurance customers. For educational purposes and will not have an impact on your insurance availability or premium. You can opt-out at anytime.
