In a monumental leap for autonomous vehicle technology, Tesla owners have collectively clocked 6.5 billion miles on Full Self-Driving (Supervised)—that’s right, over 6,499,999,953 miles as of November 22, 2025. This jaw-dropping figure, straight from Tesla’s latest Vehicle Safety Report, underscores the rapid evolution of FSD Supervised and its real-world reliability. For context, that’s equivalent to driving around the Earth more than 260,000 times, proving Tesla’s AI-driven system is no longer just a beta—it’s a daily driver for millions.

The report highlights 2,329,410,318 city miles driven, where urban navigation poses the toughest challenges for self-driving tech. These aren’t simulated miles; they’re real-world journeys navigated by Tesla’s neural networks amid traffic, pedestrians, and unpredictable road conditions. As Elon Musk and the Tesla team push toward unsupervised FSD, this data paints a picture of a future where hands-off highway cruising is just the beginning.

Breaking Down the Tesla FSD Safety Report: Key Stats and Insights

Tesla’s quarterly Vehicle Safety Report isn’t just numbers—it’s a testament to FSD’s safety edge over human drivers. Here’s a quick snapshot:

  • Total Miles Driven: 6,499,999,953 (nearing 6.5B milestone)
  • City Miles: 2,329,410,318—critical for proving FSD’s prowess in dense urban environments
  • Highway Miles: The bulk of the remaining, showcasing seamless long-haul autonomy
  • Safety Projection: On pace for 7 billion miles by December 31, 2025, accelerating with wider FSD adoption

Why does this matter? Traditional automakers like GM’s Cruise or Waymo have logged far fewer miles (Waymo at ~20M by mid-2025), often in geo-fenced areas. Tesla’s fleet-scale data collection—powered by over 1 million vehicles—feeds its end-to-end AI, making FSD smarter with every mile. Early reports show FSD Supervised reducing crash rates by up to 10x compared to the U.S. average, a game-changer for EV safety in models like the refreshed 2025 Tesla Model Y.

The Road Ahead: How FSD Supervised is Paving the Way for Unsupervised Autonomy in 2026

As 2025 wraps up, Tesla’s FSD momentum is unstoppable. With regulatory green lights in California and Texas, unsupervised FSD could roll out to select owners by Q1 2026, potentially slashing insurance costs and revolutionizing ride-sharing via Tesla Network. But challenges remain: skeptics point to edge-case incidents, while proponents like Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt celebrate the exponential safety gains.

For U.S. drivers eyeing the switch to electric autonomy, this report is your sign. FSD Supervised isn’t just software—it’s the bridge to a world where cars think faster than we do. Stay tuned to USonWheels.com for more on Tesla’s EV dominance, including upcoming Cybertruck updates and Rivian rivalries.
