Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and billionaire has recently said that Tesla would soon double a beta testing program for its self-driving software.
If you want the Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta downloaded to your car, let us know. Doubling beta program size now with 8.2 & probably 10X size with 8.3. Still be careful, but it’s getting mature.

Due to high levels of demand for FSD Beta, adding “Download Beta” button to Service section of car display in ~10 days https://t.co/D6M3ZiMarG

Availability varies by region due to regulatory approval delays and/or Tesla internal development & testing.
Note: word “Beta” is used to reduce complacency in usage & set expectations appropriately. All software is first tested internally by Tesla simulation & QA drive teams.

Tesla is not unfamiliar with the competition among electric car makers, and while Ford sold only 3,739 of the new SUVs in February, Tesla’s share of the US electric-car market fell to 69% in the same month. This was down from 81% in the prior year, a Morgan Stanley report found.
When claims of Waymo being better than Tesla began circulating, Musk clarified his own opinion that Tesla has “better AI hardware and software than Waymo.”
Waymo is an American autonomous driving technology development company.
