Suppose you want to take part in Tesla\u2019s latest full Self-Driving beta. In that case, you have to be eligible by having a good\u00a0Safety Score<\/a>, a program that rates drivers on several metrics, which the car automatically records. Naturally, Tesla only wants safe drivers enjoying this new software, but it sounds like some owners are cheating.<\/p>\n

At first, drivers found all sorts of ways to game<\/a> the system, but now, according to Vice<\/em><\/a>, Tesla owners are resetting the score completely to get a clean record. Several YouTube videos<\/a> and a now-deleted Reddit<\/a> thread explained things in further detail. Some drivers avoid the data being sent to Tesla completely, while others are resetting it, driving better, and then joining the beta.<\/p>\n

Remember that it\u2019s still a hefty $10,000 upgrade to get the full self-driving package, on top of the perfect safety score, so this isn\u2019t giving ordinary drivers access to the software suite. Instead, it\u2019s simply allowing people that regularly wouldn\u2019t be able to join to gain eligibility.<\/p>\n

If a driver makes a few mistakes or breaks some rules that would knock down the score, a quick long-press on\u00a0both scroll-wheel buttons on the steering wheel can wipe the car\u2019s Media Control Unit. This quick move deletes the Safety Score, too. Unfortunately, that\u2019s just one of many ways users are circumventing the safe driving record system.<\/p>\n

Another reason for cheating the system is it could lower a poor driver\u2019s insurance premium. In the past, Elon Musk\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0everyone with a perfect score would get access to the FSD Beta and earn large discounts on their Tesla car insurance plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The EV-maker could roll out some sort of software update to block these cheats, but for now, anyone can Google a few tricks and earn a perfect safety score.<\/p>\n
