A Tesla owner has reported driving 1,136.3 miles using the company’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Version 14.2 without requiring a single intervention, marking the longest verified distance achieved on the system without human override.
While other Tesla owners have posted screenshots on social media showing zero-intervention rates over extended distances since the V14.2 rollout, the 1,136-mile journey represents the longest publicly documented streak to date.
The achievement, shared on social media platform X by Tesla‘s biggest influencer Sawyer Merritt, included 29 consecutive successful self-parking operations.
The driver reported that 80% of the miles were accumulated on highways and 20% in city environments.
The reported performance comes as Tesla intensifies efforts to differentiate its autonomous driving capabilities from traditional automakers.
Last week, Chief Executive Elon Musk criticized legacy automakers for rejecting Tesla‘s FSD technology.
“I’ve tried to warn them and even offered to license Tesla FSD, but they don’t want it! Crazy … When legacy auto does occasionally reach out, they tepidly discuss implementing FSD for a tiny program in 5 years with unworkable requirements for Tesla, so pointless.”
Tesla launched a 30-day free trial of FSD V14.2 in North America last week, available exclusively to vehicles equipped with Hardware 4 (HW4).
FSD in Europe
The Austin-based company has simultaneously moved with the launch of the software in Europe as it waits for regulatory approvals.
Tesla started on Monday offering test rides to demonstrate the FSD technology across Italy, Germany, and France, where prospective buyers can experience FSD from the passenger seat with employees operating the vehicles..
Last month, Tesla announced that, according to the Dutch national vehicle authority, the FSD would be approved in the Netherlands early next year.
“RDW has committed to granting Netherlands National approval in February 2026,” the company wrote on X.
However, a few days later, the RWD issued a statement contradicting the claim.
November Sales in Europe
November registrations slumped year over year in France, Denmark, Sweden, and Portugal, continuing a downward trend in several markets of the Old Continent.
In Norway and Italy, sales rose year over year, with the company exceeding Volkswagen’s 2016 record for annual vehicle sales in the Norwegian market.
