Free FSD (Supervised) for 1.5M Tesla HW4 owners through Jan 8, 2026

Tesla grants HW4 owners in North America free Full Self-Driving (Supervised) access through Jan 8, 2026. Try FSD V14 on highways, city streets, and winter roads

Tesla has opened up complimentary access to Full Self-Driving (Supervised) for roughly 1.5 million owners of HW4-equipped cars in North America who hadn’t subscribed before. The trial doesn’t last 30 days; it runs through January 8, 2026. The timing lands over Christmas and New Year—and into the busy travel stretch that follows—when drivers are most likely to put it to real-world use.

Tesla is betting that seat time will persuade more people to subscribe. User reports have confirmed the end date, and Tesla has not described it as a 30-day trial. In the interface, drivers see a notice stating they are receiving FSD (Supervised) for the holidays.

The extended window lets owners showcase FSD V14 on highways, in parking lots, and across city routes. The updated release has drawn praise for smooth behavior, accurate lane changes, and confident operation in snow. Some users have reported long stretches without interventions and improved sign recognition—exactly the sort of polish that matters on winter roads.
