Tesla is resetting FSD Beta strikes with FSD Beta 10.69.25.2
Not a Tesla App
FSD Beta 10.69.25.2, which is update 2022.44.30.10 has now started to roll out to employees for further testing. This FSD update is primarily a bug fix release for FSD Beta 10.69.25 and 10.69.25.1 and does not appear to include new features, although it does reset strikes for users that were locked out.
Not A Tesla App has learned that Tesla employees have started to receive this latest version of the Full Self-Driving software, which usually indicates that existing testers are not far behind.
A few weeks ago, we reported that the Full Self Driving suspension period may be reduced to “approximately two weeks” according to Tesla's release notes, however it looks like Tesla is still resetting strikes via a software update.
Global FSD Strike Resets Occur Seldomly
This is not the first time that Tesla has reset the FSD strikes en masse. In August 2022, update 2022.20.10, beta 10.69.1, also reset the strikes against drivers and let those in “FSD jail” free to use the system again. The company also did a widespread reset in January 2022 with version 10.8.1.
For those new to the program, FSD is rendered inoperable if the computer detects inattentiveness by the driver or other improper usage. Remember, FSD is considered supervised driving, and operators do agree to be aware and able to take control of the vehicle immediately. After being reprimanded three times (for legacy Model S and Model X cars) or five times (for vehicles with the cabin camera), FSD would then be disabled. You are stuck without FSD Beta until Tesla decides to clear strikes globally for everyone, so the sentence varied from a few days to months.
FSD Strike Reset Makes Sense
It’s unknown why Tesla determined to do the full reset at this time, but we have a few educated guesses. The FSD user pool has jumped dramatically in recent months when FSD Beta was opened up to everyone in the U.S. and Canada. This gives everyone a clean slate and lets them keep access to the expensive feature they paid for.
Another guess, several users have complained that they’ve received strikes because the computer detects weights on the wheel, known as Autopilot defeat devices. These people say they were not using these devices, so Tesla's recent addition of detecting these devices may need to be improved.
It has been a long wait for FSD for European customers, many of whom paid for the feature years ago on now legacy hardware. While the FSD transfer program has come and gone multiple times, there’s something to be said about having it available in North America, where it can be used, and in Europe or other countries, where it still just remains the same as Enhanced Autopilot (differences between Autopilot, EAP, and FSD).
FSD Transfer is a nice goodwill gesture from Tesla that in theory doesn’t cost them anything. Instead, it keeps customers, especially those who have been waiting for years, loyal and happy. It also incentivizes them to upgrade to a newer Tesla with HW4, where FSD will hopefully be achieved.
In a reply to a post on X, Elon agreed with the suggestion that offering FSD transfers in Europe would be a fair solution for those who have already purchased FSD but can’t use its capabilities.
FSD Transfer directly addresses a growing concern for many long-term European Tesla owners. Thousands of customers purchased the full package, often many years ago, with the expectation that FSD would eventually be capable and approved for use. However, the reality is that FSD, even as an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), continues to be pushed back in Europe.
Without the transfer program, it's a difficult choice: either throw away your original investment in FSD and pay for the package a second time (FSD price history), or subscribe to it in the future.
Offering FSD transfers is a good way for Tesla to meet them halfway. It's a difficult situation, and one that’s being hindered by processes beyond the control of both the customer and Tesla. However, a transfer helps both parties. Tesla sells another vehicle, and the customer gets to keep FSD.
When Will it Be Available?
Based on how FSD transfers have worked in the past following Elon’s announcements, this feature is likely to become available for a limited time period in the coming days or weeks. If it happens, we should expect an announcement from Tesla Europe on X and emails being sent out to Tesla customers.
Once the program is in place, all you need to do is complete your vehicle purchase and then inform your Tesla sales advisor that you’d like to transfer FSD. You don’t even have to sell or trade in your old Tesla; FSD will simply be removed from it as a feature.
Hopefully, Tesla enables FSD Transfers for everyone, regardless of region. It should be an ongoing offer until at least FSD is approved in the given country or region.
The introductory price for Tesla’s Robotaxi Network has finally been updated. In a post on X, Elon Musk confirmed that the new fare would be rolling out to complement the new Robotaxi geofence expansion.
This change marks the first adjustment to Tesla’s fares since the initial $4.20 launch price 23 days ago. While the price increase may seem significant in terms of percentages, when compared to other options in the ride-hailing area, it is still drastically cheaper.
But the price is now a princely $6.90, as foretold in the prophecy 😂
Robotaxi currently operates on a simple, flat-rate model. The new $6.90 fare gets you a ride to anywhere within the recently expanded geofence.
So far, this is the opposite approach compared to other services, such as Waymo or traditional ride-sharing options like Uber and Lyft. All these services use dynamic pricing based on distance, time of day, and demand. A comparable trip on any one of these services could cost anywhere from $30 to $65, and potentially even higher during peak hours.
That doesn’t even include the tip fees for human drivers either - another win for Robotaxi (can you tip a Robotaxi?).
Even with the adjustment, the flat $6.90 fare remains less than half the price of a typical competing ride, making Robotaxi the most affordable point-to-point transportation option in Austin, aside from mass transit, for now.
A “Maturing” Service
The price change, moving from one meme-worthy number to another, is a sign that Robotaxi is finally graduating from its initial pilot phase. Following the first major expansion of the service area, this adjustment is a logical next step towards finding a more sustainable flat price.
While the new fare is a 65% increase over the old fare, the key takeaway is that it is still far cheaper than other options, and still just as meme-worthy. Tesla is aiming to have its early access riders complete as many rides as possible during these early months, and this pricing is still very reflective of that.
