Tesla adds ‘streaks,’ other stats to track how often drivers use Full Self-Driving software Kirsten Korosec 7:33 AM PDT · April 14, 2026 Tesla is rolling out a new self-driving app that makes it easier for owners to subscribe to its Full Self-Driving software and see statistics on how — and how often — they use it. The app will display information about FSD, including multi-day streaks, adding a gamified element to the driver assistance software.
The company teased the redesigned self-driving app, along with a slew of other new features that will be included in its next major software update, in a post on X .
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is an advanced driver assistance system that launched in beta in late 2020, and has had regular updates to remove bugs, and improve reliability and performance. The system — available with a $99 monthly subscription — can handle driving maneuvers such as steering, lane changes, and parking. It still requires active driver supervision, which means vehicles equipped with the software are not truly autonomous.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is trying to position the company as an AI and robotics powerhouse, not just an automaker. FSD is part of that mission. Hitting “10 million active FSD subscriptions” by 2035 is one of the key “product goals” required for Musk to receive the full payout of his new $1 trillion pay package.
The redesigned self-driving app might not seem consequential in Tesla’s bid to drive adoption of FSD, but it does carry some weight. Today, Tesla owners can subscribe to FSD using the vehicle’s touchscreen or mobile app, but it takes a few steps to reach the appropriate spot.
The new app will let owners subscribe in one tap. A caveat is that the feature is only available to owners of Tesla vehicles that have the A14 chip, also known as FSD Hardware 4.0, which began shipping in vehicles in January 2023.
The updated self-driving app will display a variety of stats that go far beyond what Tesla owners with FSD see today. Current FSD subscribers see the total number of miles driven compared to the percentage driven using FSD.
This updated app will display a couple of graphics, including the FSD usage in a bar chart. It will also track and display user “streaks,” showing how many consecutive days FSD was used.
FSD (Supervised) is available in Australia, Canada, China, Mexico, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Korea, and the United States. Dutch regulator RDW approved the use of FSD on April 10 after researching and testing the product.
