“Tesla now says unsupervised “Full Self-Driving” in customer-owned cars will arrive in Q2 2027.”
What it means
FSD (Supervised), from Tesla, is at stage 5 of 5 on our ladder: regulator-cleared or mass market. A setback stays on the record next to the milestones; the stage moves down only when the rules say so. This line rests on the company's own announcement; no regulator, customer or independent report confirms it in our sources yet.
