It has now been confirmed by Elon. Everyone who has paid for FSD beta capability will get it with no safety score requirement. You just need enroll in the FSD beta program on your Tesla. Happy Holidays!

Even with MCU1?
It means Elon has BEAT his deadline of having “FSD Completed” by 12/31/2022.This is absurdly scary. Also, does this mean they are just giving up essentially?
No, it was not BS. People, you need to look at this from all sides, not just the "technology", or your own personal experience. Tesla has regulators in a fledgling, wild-west industry that doesn't know how to create proper rules yet, breathing down their necks. From your personal experience, the safety score was "total BS", but from the industry and regulators watching how that industry is rapidly evolving, the safety score was a shield to keep the product on track and not get shut down.I'm glad Elon came through and it's available for everyone. Should have been this way from the start.
The safety score game was total BS.

No, actually I'm right. Regulators are working on laws to govern self driving vehicles, and some states have procedures in place with applications for companies to test those self driving features. In most cases, safety drivers are needed, who must be certified as safety drivers. The manner with which that certification happens is still evolving, with enough wiggle room to allow self-certification from the car company for their drivers. The "safety score" was Tesla's interpretation of these rules, and gave them enough cover with regulators so they weren't just immediately shut down. Again, the industry is brand new and moving fast, and regulators are slow to act, so many of Tesla's policies and features (like the steering wheel nag) are designed to keep regulators at arm's length while legislation is evolving.No actually you are wrong. When did regulators say anything about the safety score? The safety score was a complete waste of time that forced me to drive dangerously.
I'm glad that people that paid for FSD got it. Except for MCU1 people haha
Not every Tesla has FSD, and highway/freeway driving will still be AP, which most Teslas do have. Your 101 commute probably has lots of Teslas on AP already and you just don't notice. That won't change. Where you will see it is with those who purchased FSD, found out that it's wide release, enabled it, and use it on city streets (which it's just Autosteer on City Streets). You'll probably see some Teslas making odd lane changes from time to time, or jerky left/right turns from time to time.Frak… I’m not looking forward to driving on US-101 after this… Teslas everywhere and now lots of folks will be testing their new FSD updates on their commute.
The company opens up access to the software and you think they are giving up?? It means that they believe they have made great progress with making the software safe enough for anyone to try. The huge increase in user base will give Tesla access to vehicle data that will be used to improve the software.This is absurdly scary. Also, does this mean they are just giving up essentially?

I just saw Elon’s tweet. I did the early adoption move with FSD when I bought my late 2016 S with it included. However, my understanding is that MCU1 is incompatible with the FSD Beta. I would think they should resolve that without cost for those customers given Elon’s latest comments.I'm glad that people that paid for FSD got it. Except for MCU1 people haha
