Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) Has Landed in Australia

• Driver must stay alert: system supervised; you need to be ready to take over.
• Attentiveness monitoring via cabin camera; repeated warnings may lead to temporary suspension.

• Upfront purchase price is about AUD $10,100 for eligible HW4-equipped cars.
• A monthly subscription option is available for about AUD $149 per month.
• Only Model 3 and Model Y with the required hardware are eligible currently.

Implications for Tesla Owners & Accessory Needs

With FSD (Supervised) in play, your Tesla will be handling more of the driving task — ideal for longer distances, commuting and highway cruising. As a result, accessories that enhance comfort, protection, and convenience will be in demand.

Tessories.com.au offers a great selection of items like premium seat covers, all-weather floor mats, sun shades and screen protection, plus <strong/organisers for gadgets and charging gear — all designed to make FSD journeys smoother and more comfortable.

Tips to Get the Best from FSD (Supervised)

• Ensure the windscreen and cameras are clean and unobstructed. Dust and debris common in rural and outback settings can affect sensor performance.
• Regular software updates — Tesla is improving FSD features via OTA updates, so keep your car up to date.
• Choose accessories that reduce glare inside cabin (e.g. screen protectors, sun shades) and protect upholstery during increased use.
• Keep necessary emergency and safety gear in the car — reflective markers, first aid, good visibility in severe weather.

For Tesla enthusiasts in Australia, this is more than just a software release — it’s a new era of assisted driving. With the right hardware, safe driving habits and quality accessories, FSD (Supervised) can enhance your driving experience on every stretch of road from Melbourne’s M-roads to the Great Northern Highway.
