Open Letter to Elon Musk: You Have a Moral Imperative to Get All Your Tesla EV Customers Using Full Self Driving

In 2025, an estimated 36,640 traffic fatalities were reported in the US.

Earlier this year, April 8, 2026, Elon Musk claimed that Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” is so much safer than human drivers that it could save 90% of the roughly one million lives lost in car crashes globally.

Elon, you can’t have it both ways if your safety claim is true! FSD is not just a financial gold mine for you; you must find a way to get as many of your customers using it as possible! You can’t go on charging $99/month for this life-saving technology.

In the interest of full disclosure, it would save me $1188/year if Tesla stopped charging the $99/month fee for FSD.

I own a base 2026 Tesla Model Y and have been using Full Self Driving (FSD) V14 for 4 months. FSD is so good that three is no doubt in my mind that it would save thousands of lives if all the drivers of Tesla cars (those built since mid-2023 with Hardware 4) were using it. FSD drives my car automatically like a professional driver under almost all situations. Yesterday, I was driving through the little town of Three Lakes, Wisconsin, when an emergency vehicle with lights flashing approached me head on. FSD pulled me over to the curb and parked my car until the emergency vehicle had passed. Then it resumed my trip all 100% automatically. Just one more example of the incredible functionality of FSD.
