Tesla introduces mandatory full self-driving test drives for customers in North America

According to Bloomberg, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has mandated that Tesla stores in the region must conduct demonstrations of the latest ull Self-Driving (FSD) software for customers before they take delivery of their vehicles.

Despite acknowledging that this requirement may slow down the delivery process, Musk emphasized the importance of showcasing the capabilities of supervised FSD, noting that few people realize how well it works.

To access Tesla's FSD technology, customers must pay an additional $12,000 on top of the vehicle's purchase price. This feature encompasses Tesla's Autopilot functionalities and enables autosteer on city streets, as well as the automatic recognition of stop signs and traffic lights to facilitate vehicle slowdown.

By offering demonstrations, Tesla aims to provide potential buyers with firsthand experience of the technology's capabilities.
