Tesla pushes back FSD Beta 10.4

By Nuno Cristovao

FSD Beta testers were anticipating the release of the FSD Beta 10.4 tonight, however it looks like Tesla needs a little more time with this one.

Update: Tesla has fixed the issue and started rolling out beta 10.4 to public testers.

After releasing the beta internally, it looks like Tesla has found an issue that they’ll need to release a patch for. Elon has said that Tesla is issuing a patch around 3 AM. Tesla will then continue testing the beta Saturday, and hopefully send it out to beta testers on Sunday.

Tesla is obviously working around the clock on these betas and doing their best to meet these ambitious timelines.

New Gradual Releases

Tesla has changed up how they will release FSD Betas after they had an issue with the previous FSD Beta. A major issue was found in Beta 10.3 after it was released publicly. The beta was causing false Forward Collision Warnings, which could lead to accidental emergency braking.

Tesla ended up issuing public builds to all beta testers and remotely disabling FCWs and Emergency Braking for anyone who stayed on FSD Beta 10.3.

The new process that Tesla is adopting for FSD Beta releases will have Tesla release the beta internally first for about a day. Only once it has passed their QA team and no major issues were found during their internal testing will Tesla then start releasing to public testers.

Once Tesla starts the public rollout, they will do so gradually. Tesla will add about 1,000 testers per hour to reduce the impact the beta may have if any major issues are found.

New Testers With 98 Safety Scores

The FSD Beta program will be expanded during this release. Beta 10.4 will be released to new beta testers with a Safety Score of 98 or higher. There are reportedly about 11,000 beta testers currently. With the release of this beta the amount of testers should drastically increase.

If you’re hoping to get into the beta program, I’d recommend using our Safety Score Calculator to find out your exact Safety Score or find out how many miles you’d need to drive to reach a score of 98.

Tesla has been slowly adding more testers into the program once they reach Tesla's target Safety Score. So if you don’t reach a Safety Score of 98 by tomorrow, you can be added at a later date.

Norway Approves Tesla’s FSD Testing on Public Roads; Potential for Europe-Wide Deployment

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.

Tesla has already begun testing in the Netherlands, showing off FSD’s capabilities in Amsterdam.

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.

Tesla Reintroduces FSD Transfers in North America

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.

FSD Transfers

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:
