Tesla FSD Hits Record Subs, Purchased With 75% of New Orders

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is now a bigger part of the buying decision than it has ever been. According to Tesla’s Q3 2026 earnings report, more than 75% of new Teslas delivered in North America during the quarter were bundled with FSD, and active FSD subscriptions reached a record 1.74 million. The numbers arrived alongside $28.05 billion in quarterly revenue and $5.49 billion in gross profit. FSD Attach Rate Jumps Nearly 20% in One Quarter More than 75% of new Teslas delivered in North America now include FSD, whether the buyer purchased it or subscribed. In Q2, that number was 55%, so Tesla gained nearly 20 percentage points in a single quarter. Elon Musk replied to the figures on X with his own take. Active FSD subscriptions (including legacy lifetime purchases) now stand at 1.74 million, up 67% from 1.04 million a year ago. That’s roughly 260,000 (or 17.5%) more than Q2, and Tesla says it added more subscribers in Q3 than in any quarter in its history. FSD adoption is growing exponentially while the software is still improving. We recently saw a Cybertruck on FSD autonomously clear a path for an ambulance at a red light, turning across three lanes from a full stop and rerouting on its own. Tesla has confirmed navigation improvements and pothole detection are in the works, including routing that learns from your preferred routes. FSD v15 is expected later this year or early next year and will be a major upgrade. It’s set to increase the neural network’s parameters 10x, from about 1 billion to 10 billion. The software is still improving, and Tesla is working with regulators to get it approved elsewhere.
