Tesla has tweeted his roadmap for the remaining months of 2024 and early 2025, showing that Fully self-driving could be available in Europe and China in the first quarter of next year, if it gets the proper approval from the respective regulators in each region. Company CEO Elon Musk previously said that he expects to receive approval from regional regulators by the end of the year. The Wall Street Journal reported in April that authorities in China had already provisionally approved the launch of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software in their country. It is not entirely clear at this point where the company stands with European Union regulators.
In a answer Musk added to the original post that he hopes to have FSD approved for right-hand drive markets by the end of the first quarter or early second quarter of next year. Since he’s presumably talking about right-hand drive markets in Europe and China, he’s referring to the UK, Hong Kong and Macau.
Hopefully RHD markets are expected in late Q1, early Q2, pending regulatory approval.

The automaker also revealed that Full Self-Driving will be available for Cybertrucks sometime this month, along with the Autopark capability. Tesla will also add exit, parking, and reverse parking features to FSD in October. The FSD software is not free, and buyers will have to pay to unlock the semi-autonomous driver assistance capabilities. In the U.S., Tesla owners have can buy the software for $8,000, but they can also pay a subscription fee of $99 per month for the guided version of the feature.
