AUSTIN, Texas — A single Tesla has now driven itself more than 20,000 miles without a human touching the wheel. David Moss, a Tacoma, Washington resident who sells LiDAR scanning equipment for a living, pushed his continuous Full Self-Driving streak past that mark this week, extending one of the most striking real-world demonstrations of Tesla''s autonomy software to date.
Moss first drew attention in December 2025 when he logged 10,000 consecutive miles on FSD v14.2, then drove from the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, covering 2,732 miles in two days and 20 hours with zero disengagements. Tesla featured that trip as an official customer story. His original streak eventually reached 12,961 miles across 30 states before snow and single-digit temperatures in rural Wisconsin forced him to take over in January.
A Second Run That Went Further
He started over, and the new run has gone even further. In late May, Moss drove 3,760 miles across Canada, from Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver to a Tesla showroom in Halifax, again without a single intervention. Tesla AI software VP Ashok Elluswamy publicly congratulated him on X. Moss then pushed the same unbroken streak south, aiming to connect the Canadian and Mexican borders, and crossed 10,000 miles on Tesla''s in-car streak counter along the way. The achievement lands amid a broader run of momentum for Tesla''s autonomy program, from regulators clearing red tape for driverless deployment to the company''s expanding robotaxi footprint.
Every mile is logged through the FSD Database, a community-run tracker that pulls telemetry straight from the car and records disengagements down to a tenth of a mile. That independent verification is what separates Moss''s numbers from casual social-media claims, as Teslarati detailed in its report on the milestone.
