Full Self-Driving Computer Installations

Check your configuration from your touchscreen. Select ‘Controls’ > ‘Software’ and confirm Autopilot computer type. Then press ‘Additional Vehicle Information.’

If you have purchased Full Self-Driving capability and have Autopilot computer 2.0 or 2.5, you are eligible to receive a complimentary installation of our FSD computer.

The complimentary FSD computer upgrade for owners with Full Self-Driving capability is now available.

If your vehicle is eligible and the upgrade is available for your vehicle, you can schedule an appointment in the Tesla app by selecting ‘Schedule Service’ > ‘Accessories’ > ‘Upgrades & Accessories’ > ‘Full Self-Driving computer.’

The installation process will typically take about an hour to complete but may take longer depending on your configuration.

To maintain all of your settings and preferences, your data will first be securely transferred to your new FSD computer. Following that transfer, we will perform a factory reset on your vehicle’s old computer before it is replaced with your FSD computer upgrade. You may also conduct a factory reset at any time by tapping ‘Controls’ > ‘Service’ > ‘Factory Reset.’

With the exception of the latest Driving Visualization, the FSD computer installation will not affect the performance of your vehicle and is not required to use any driver assistance features we offer.

You will get access to a suite of more advanced driver assistance features, designed to provide more active guidance and automatic driving under your active supervision.

Not yet. All Tesla vehicles require active driver supervision and are not autonomous. With the FSD computer, we expect to achieve a new level of autonomy as we gain billions of miles of experience using our features. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions.
