Tesla has released an updated Vehicle Safety Report, this time for the 2nd financial quarter of 2024. Every quarter, Tesla provides an update to their Vehicle Safety Report, which provides quite a bit of information into how safe Tesla vehicles actually are.
So far, 1.6 billion cumulative miles have been driven with FSD Supervised according to Omead Afshar, who works at the Office of the CEO at Tesla.
This quarter, Tesla recorded a slight decrease in miles driven before an autopilot accident over last quarter – quite a surprising start to the report. Last quarter, Tesla achieved a record-breaking 7.6 million miles driven on Autopilot or FSD before an accident. This quarter, the number is down slightly to approximately 6.88 million miles.
Looking at the trends in the data, this is expected. The second quarter of a year tends to have more incidents, as drivers are increasingly on the road in summer months and taking longer trips – both Tesla drivers and non-Tesla drivers alike.
While Tesla doesn’t release detailed statistics on incidents, including those with Autopilot or FSD, we can likely attribute the majority of these incidents to drivers not properly supervising their vehicles, at least in most cases.
The most recent, widely published case occurred in Australia, where a driver using Autopilot hit a cyclist. The incident details have yet to be published, but there is speculation that the driver was holding the drive pedal down – which will stop Autopilot from slowing or stopping for obstacles.
On the flipside, the number of miles driven without Autopilot before an accident has increased since last quarter, which is a positive note. In Q1, Tesla achieved about 0.9 million miles driven, but in Q2, they’re at 1.45 million miles driven before an accident. That’s more than a 50% improvement.

Safety Features
The biggest part played this quarter is definitely by Tesla’s Active Safety Features. While they don’t sound like much in comparison to the magic of FSD, these safety features likely save more people from accidents than anything else.
Between Lane Departure Avoidance and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), all working in tandem with Collision Avoidance Assist, Tesla vehicles are some of the safest vehicles on the road today. Teslas are packed with cameras – which means they always know what’s going on around them. Combine this with the immensely powerful engine that can run FSD, and you’ve got a recipe for a vehicle that is more than capable of keeping its occupants and other road users safe.
We’re glad to see Tesla continues to release these statistics, and that overall, they’re showing an improvement.

According to filings found by Kees Roelandschap on X, Tesla has obtained a 2-year exemption from UNECE autonomy regulations to run FSD Supervised on public roads in Norway. This marks one of the first positive developments for regulations and autonomy in Europe — great news for European customers.
Previously, European transportation agencies stressed additional caution and requested more time to legislate, further delaying the widespread UNECE regulation changes for autonomous vehicles.
Norwegian FSD - Employees Only
Following the recent approval from the Norwegian Road Authority, Tesla will be permitted to use its Supervised vehicles on public roads in a testing capacity. This exemption does not yet apply to customers, so we will have to wait and see how testing progresses.
Tesla will specifically be allowed to run FSD V13 and its derivative builds (meaning AI4 vehicles only) with automated steering and speed controls on EU-registered and approved vehicles.
Tesla will also be required to have Tesla-trained drivers (employees) conduct the testing. There is no specific policy in place that enables the use of FSD for customers at this time. However, as testing is conducted and bureaucratic hurdles are overcome across various transportation departments, Tesla may be able to extend the offer to European customers. According to Tesla’s latest earnings call, the company still plans to release FSD in Europe by the end of the year.

Article 39 Exemption
The UNECE can grant exemptions for innovative technologies that move faster than legislation under Article 39. However, Tesla requires the backing of a national ministry of transport to bring this to the UNECE’s attention. The next round of voting on critical issues is expected on May 12, 2025, which may not leave Tesla much time to present its findings to UNECE.
We don’t expect Tesla to receive authorization immediately. It may take several weeks or months of testing from the Netherlands or Norway teams before one of the two countries is willing to support Tesla’s exemption bid.
However, if Tesla achieves an Article 39 exemption, it could allow Tesla to roll out FSD to customers across Europe, provided there are no country-level exemptions.
Following customer requests, Tesla has once again returned FSD Transfers for North America. This comes after some new details we received on FSD Supervised and Unsupervised at the recent Q1 2025 Earnings Call.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei … FSD Transfer is back
All countries (in NA), all S3XY + @cybertruck (excl Foundation Series & Launch Series)
This latest round of FSD transfers doesn’t have a specific time limit - so if you’re in the market for a new vehicle and were worried about transferring FSD from a HW3 vehicle - now is the best chance.
This transfer opportunity is applicable for any new vehicle purchases, including the Model S, 3, X, Y, as well as the Cybertruck. The only vehicles it doesn’t apply to are the Foundation-Series Cybertruck or a Launch-Series Model Y, which already come with FSD included.
If you’re conducting an FSD transfer, you’ll need to reach out to your Tesla delivery coordinator through the Tesla app to confirm you’re eligible and to get the process started.
Note that once you take delivery, FSD access is removed from your older vehicle, regardless if you plan to trade in your vehicle or keep it.
Canada and Mexico
For those in Canada and Mexico, there’s some good news. This opportunity is available for customers in those countries as well, however, new vehicle orders are currently paused in Canada and Mexico for unknown reasons.
Running Offers
There are also several other offers running in North America, with the country flags indicating which countries their available in:
