Tesla emphasizes that while the FSD system can assist with driving tasks, it does not make the vehicle fully autonomous, urging drivers to remain attentive at all times.

Key functions of FSD 13 include automatic lane changes, navigation of forks in the road, and making turns, all under driver supervision.

Tesla has launched a complimentary Full Self-Driving (Supervised) trial for eligible vehicles in Canada and the U.S., announced on December 24, 2024.

The trial period will last until January 23, 2025, and existing FSD subscribers will receive an additional 30 days of free access to the features.

This trial is available for Tesla vehicles equipped with AI4 hardware, allowing users to experience advanced features such as automatic lane changes and navigating around obstacles with the latest FSD 13 software.

Tesla has a history of extending FSD trial periods, suggesting that this may happen again during the current trial.

This initiative aims to encourage the adoption of Tesla's self-driving technology and expand its beta testing community.

To check for AI4 hardware, Tesla owners can verify if their infotainment system is powered by an AMD Ryzen chip on their vehicle's About page.

The trial is also available for vehicles featuring AMD chips, allowing drivers to utilize the advanced features of FSD 13.

For those with AI3 hardware who are unable to support full, unsupervised FSD, Tesla has stated they will provide free hardware upgrades for customers who purchased FSD, which is currently priced at $11,000 CAD, down from $16,000 CAD earlier this year.

Vehicles with older AI3 (Hardware 3) will receive FSD 12.6 by the end of December 2024, as they are not yet compatible with FSD 13.

Previously, Tesla launched a one-month free FSD trial in Canada in March 2024, reflecting ongoing efforts to promote their self-driving capabilities.
