What Tesla’s New FSD Safety Data Means for Used Tesla Drivers

Tesla has published its most comprehensive safety report yet for Full Self-Driving (Supervised), offering real-world insights into how the technology performs across North America.

For anyone considering a Used Tesla, especially buyers in Toronto, Mississauga, and across Tesla Canada, this new data highlights why FSD is one of the most impactful road-safety technologies available today.

At Carnex, as a leading reseller of Used Teslas in Canada, we see every day how FSD improves the ownership experience—not only for convenience but also for safety.

Tesla FSD Is Trained on “Centuries” of Real-World Data

One of Tesla’s biggest advantages is data scale. With millions of Teslas on the road sending anonymized driving data, the company says FSD is effectively:

“Trained on more than 100 years of driving experience.”

This massive dataset allows Tesla’s neural networks to encounter—and learn from—rare scenarios that most human drivers may never face.

For buyers of Used Tesla Model 3, Used Tesla Model Y, or any other used Teslas in Canada, this means you’re benefiting from an AI system that becomes safer every year.

Hard Numbers: FSD vs. Human Driving

Tesla released new statistics showing how many miles drivers travel before experiencing a major collision:

  • 5.1 million miles — with FSD (Supervised)

  • 2.3 million miles — manual driving with Tesla active safety

  • 972,000 miles — manual driving without active safety

  • 699,000 miles — overall U.S. national average

This means drivers using FSD (Supervised) experience:

  • 7× fewer major crashes

  • 7× fewer minor crashes

  • 5× fewer off-highway incidents

For anyone comparing Used Tesla vs. gas vehicles in Canada, these numbers show how large the safety gap has become.

FSD Could Save Over 32,000 Lives Per Year

Tesla highlights how much human error contributes to roadway accidents:

  • 30% of U.S. road deaths in 2023 involved alcohol

  • 44% of occupant deaths involved no seatbelt

  • 29% involved speeding

  • 29% involved distracted driving

FSD (Supervised) doesn’t:

  • drink alcohol

  • text or get distracted

  • forget a seatbelt

According to NHTSA data, Tesla estimates that widespread use of FSD could prevent:

  • 32,000+ deaths annually

  • 1.9 million injuries every year

For Used Tesla buyers in Canada, this reinforces why Tesla vehicles—new or used—rank among the safest choices on the market.

Built-In Safety: Tesla’s Multi-Layer Protection System

Beyond FSD, Tesla vehicles feature a full safety architecture, including:

  • Advanced crumple zones

  • High-performance airbags

  • Smart seatbelt systems

  • Battery fire-runaway protection

  • Automatic Emergency Braking

  • Driver-fatigue monitoring

  • Continuous OTA safety updates

Whether you’re driving a Used Tesla Model 3 in Toronto or a Used Tesla Model Y in Mississauga, these built-in protections make every Tesla exceptionally safe.

Why This Matters for Used Tesla Buyers (Especially in Toronto & Mississauga)

If you’re considering a Used Tesla Canada purchase, Tesla’s latest FSD safety data adds important clarity:

1. Used Teslas Age Exceptionally Well

Because Tesla improves FSD and safety systems through OTA updates, even older models continue getting safer over time.

2. Used Tesla Model 3 & Model Y Offer Best Value

These two models deliver the highest adoption rates of FSD and the best long-term safety data.

3. FSD Adds Real Value Without Extra Maintenance

Unlike traditional safety systems, FSD upgrades happen digitally—no additional service costs required.
