Tesla's FSD (Supervised) Vehicle Safety Report now puts the system at 6,006,200 miles between major collisions in North America, measured over the latest rolling 12 months. When the page launched in November 2025 the figure was about 5.1 million, according to TeslaNorth, and Drive Tesla puts the February edition at about 5.3 million. The refreshed numbers were first reported on 27 October 2026.
Tesla's headline is that drivers using FSD go nine times farther between major collisions than the average US driver. Its own data supports a smaller but still substantial claim.
The numbers
| Miles per collision, North America, 12 months | Major (airbag deployed) | Minor |
|---|---|---|
| FSD (Supervised) engaged | 6,006,200 | 1,760,823 |
| Tesla driven manually, active safety on | 2,031,221 | 685,390 |
| Older Teslas without active safety | 845,915 | — |
| Estimated US average | 660,164 | 225,322 |
Over the window, Tesla counted 1,579 major collisions in 9,483,790,215 miles driven with FSD engaged. The cumulative counter on the page has passed 16.8 billion FSD miles since 2020.
Nine times, or three?
The nine-times figure compares FSD with Tesla's estimate of the average US car. That fleet averages about 12 years old, and much of it predates automatic emergency braking. Tesla's methodology itself names its pre-2014 cars, built without active safety features, as the best proxy for that average.
The comparison that matters to an owner is different: is switching FSD on safer than driving the same car yourself with its safety systems active? On Tesla's own numbers, that gain is just under three times for major collisions (6,006,200 against 2,031,221 miles) and about 2.6 times for minor ones.
That is the comparison safety researcher Philip Koopman argued for when the page launched in November 2025. He also warned that the most severe crashes can go unreported when they destroy the car's telematics, and that the page gives no fatality figures.
How Tesla counts
A major collision is one in which an airbag or another non-reversible restraint deploys. A minor collision is an impact with a change in speed of at least 8 km/h within 150 milliseconds, with no deployment. A crash counts against FSD if the system was active at any point in the five seconds before impact, and Tesla does not assess fault. NHTSA's crash-reporting order uses a 30-second window instead.
The US average is Tesla's own estimate, built from federal mileage and crash-sampling data, and the report excludes China. Tesla says it updates the figures every quarter.
What it means in Europe
These are North American figures. Tesla published European numbers separately in July, saying FSD in Europe was 5.2 times safer than manual driving across 65 million km, and data of this kind underpins the Article 39 case Tesla has put to European authorities. Tesla Assisted Driving, as the system is now called in Europe, is approved in ten EU countries, and Italy backed a swift EU-wide approval on 29 October.
For a European driver, the useful number is the like-for-like one. On Tesla's own data, FSD roughly triples the distance between serious crashes compared with the same car driven by hand with its safety systems on. That is a strong result, but it is a third of the headline.
