How Well Does the Tesla Model Y's Full Self-Driving Feature Work?
Car and Driver tested the 2026 Tesla Model Y’s Full Self‑Driving (Supervised) system in Ann Arbor and San Francisco. The software handled complex traffic, roundabouts and highway merging impressively, but occasional perception errors—such as missing a shaded speed bump, misreading a driveway and hesitating at intersections—required driver intervention. Tesla now offers FSD as a $99‑per‑month subscription, down from an $8,000 upfront fee, positioning it as a lower‑cost trial. The need for constant driver attention limits its hands‑free appeal despite strong capabilities.
