Tesla FSD real-world limits.
I've driven FSD (Supervised) on my Model Y Standard around the GTA, including at night. It's impressive, and it still needs supervising. Here's where it falls short.
Lane centering needs FSD
New Model Y cars in Canada now ship with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control only. Autosteer (lane centering) is no longer standard and requires an FSD (Supervised) subscription (Drive Tesla Canada, InsideEVs, TSLNA).
Speed bumps
Watch your speed over bumps and in parking lots; be ready to brake. I'll add specific clips as I log them.
Phantom braking
Unexpected slowdowns can happen. Keep your foot near the pedal and report them with a voice note.
Night driving
Night is where I tested it hardest; see the video above.
Is C$99/month worth it?
FSD (Supervised) is subscription-only in Canada at C$99/month (outright purchase ended February 14, 2026). It's worth it if you do a lot of highway driving and want lane centering back; if you mostly drive short city trips, try the trial first. Tesla has said the price may rise.

C$99/month as a subscription. Tesla moved FSD to subscription-only in February 2026.
Is FSD worth it on a Model Y Standard?
