Tesla will begin rolling out the FSD beta in Canada in February 2022. While there were previous rumors that the feature would be rolled out cautiously, the current rollout timeline remains the same as previously planned.
The Tesla FSD beta is a feature that car owners around the world are highly anticipated for. In the U.S., it began testing at the end of 2020, with a limited number of car owners. Over the next six months, the FSD beta was rolled out to about 2,000 testers.
After the feature overcame key issues and became safer, Tesla began to promote the feature widely in the United States at the request of car owners. However, it is still important to note that the FSD beta is only available for drivers with the highest driving safety scores (based on the safety score beta), because despite its powerful features, it still requires drivers to pay close attention and be ready to intervene at any time.
In mid-January, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that tesla would also launch a beta version of the FSD in Canada in addition to the United States. According to his statement, the feature is expected to roll out in February. He clarified that the process would be carried out with great care, apparently because canada's roads, signage and traffic rules were somewhat different from those of the United States, and that the company's FSD beta in Canada still had a lot to improve.
Tesla owners in Canada are looking forward to the arrival of the FSD beta, so they are interested in the progress of the program. In response to another question about the start-up time, Musk confirmed on Feb. 19 that it is still scheduled to start in February.
While the month will end in 8 days, the company still has time to roll out the feature on time. However, we should also take into account the various tasks that Tesla still faces before the launch, so it is normal even if it is not launched on time, because safety should be the most important.
Tesla reportedly began testing the FSD beta in Canada in September 2021, when a car owner (possibly an employee of Tesla) posted a series of 6 videos on YouTube. In the video, FSD conducts a series of different tests on the roads of Ontario. The fact that the owners were able to release the video suggests that Tesla has approved the practice and is preparing for a wider market release.
