David Moss, a Tesla owner, recently completed a coast-to-coast drive across the United States using Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, achieving this milestone without any interventions. The trip lasted 2 days and 20 hours, covering 2,732.4 miles from Los Angeles, CA, to Myrtle Beach, SC. Utilizing FSD version 14.2.1.25 installed just 12 days prior, Moss drove a stealth gray Model 3 equipped with AI4 hardware, marking a significant achievement in Tesla's self-driving capabilities. The drive was celebrated within the Tesla community, especially since CEO Elon Musk has aimed for such a feat since 2016. Moss's successful journey received acknowledgment from Musk and Tesla executives on social media, highlighting the importance of the moment. Musk originally estimated that full autonomous driving would be possible by the end of 2017. The success of Moss’s trip suggests that the technology is maturing, even if it took longer than expected to reach this point. The achievement also emphasizes the potential of Tesla's FSD software, which has been a subject of both excitement and skepticism among users and industry observers alike. In another development, Tesla is shifting its FSD purchasing model in Australia. The company will eliminate the option to buy the FSD suite outright, moving to a subscription-only model by March 31, 2026. North American customers have until February 14 to purchase outright before subscriptions become mandatory. This change reflects Tesla's strategy to adapt its offerings based on market conditions, as the FSD suite was only recently launched in Australia.
