Tesla Just Dropped FSD Gift Cards! Give the Gift of (Supervised) Autonomy… if You’re in the U.S.

TL;DR: Tesla's making it easier to share the love (or at least, the Supervised love) with new one-month Full Self-Driving gift cards, just in time for the holidays! The catch? You gotta be in the U.S., my Canadian friends are still waiting on that North Pole delivery.

Meta: Tesla has launched one-month FSD (Supervised) gift cards in the U.S., allowing owners to share the driving experience, just in time for the holidays.

Alright, listen up, folks! The holidays are here, and you know what that means: frantic last-minute shopping for that special someone who has everything. Well, Tesla just dropped a gift idea that's so unique, it might just be the winner: FSD (Supervised) gift cards! That's right, you can now give the gift of a month of Tesla's Full Self-Driving experience. Imagine Aunt Carol trying to figure out how her car is suddenly driving itself. Priceless!

Now, before you go emptying your digital wallets, there's a small catch, like a lump of coal in your stocking if you're north of the border. These gift cards are only available in the U.S. Tesla Shop for now. Canada, I hear you, but it seems you'll have to wait a little longer for this particular piece of tech-tainment. Hopefully, it’s a matter of days or weeks, not months, to cross the border, because who doesn't want to gift a little bit of future?

The Gift of Autonomy (with Supervision)

This new "One Month FSD (Supervised) Gift Card" can be grabbed right from the Tesla app or their website. Once you snag it, it lives in your Tesla Wallet or you can send it off to another lucky Tesla owner. It covers a single month of FSD (Supervised), clocking in at a cool US$112, sales tax included. Just a heads up, if the price or taxes change, it might not cover the full cost, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

And here’s a cool bonus: if your recipient decides they're not quite ready for their car to become a semi-autonomous chauffeur, the funds can be used for other Tesla goodies. Think service, accessories, or even charging credits. So, it's a win-win, even if they're not ready to let go of the wheel just yet.

A Clever Business Move

This isn't just a holiday treat; it's a smart play by Tesla. They've been pretty vocal about wanting more FSD adoption, and what better way to get hesitant drivers to try it than to give them a taste? Especially with FSD v14 boasting some serious improvements in driving behavior. It’s like giving someone a free sample of the future – they try it, they love it, they buy it! Convert those skeptics into believers, one gift card at a time.

Plus, with Tesla already offering free FSD trials to owners, this gift card option just expands that net. It's all about getting those hands-on experiences, proving the tech, and accelerating towards that autonomous future. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to try out a cutting-edge feature without the full commitment? It’s like a test drive for your brain!

What’s Next

If you've got a Tesla-loving friend or family member, or perhaps you're subtly dropping hints for yourself, these FSD gift cards are a fresh option for the holiday season. Keep an eye out for international availability, especially for our friends in Canada. The more people who experience FSD (Supervised), the more data Tesla collects, and the faster the system evolves. Who knows, maybe next year we'll be gifting 'Full Self-Driving (Unsupervised)' – now that would be a Christmas miracle!

So go on, spread some joy, spread some tech! But remember, it's still supervised FSD, so tell Uncle Larry to keep his hands near the wheel. We don't need any holiday shenanigans on the road, ya dig?
