FSD with a trailer?

[Topturnbuckle]

I haven’t considered getting FSD due to most of my miles include my work trailer. Is it possible FSD can compensate for a trailer?

"Trailer Mode must always be active when towing a trailer. Some Autopilot features such as Autopark and Autosteer, as well as rear parking sensor functionality, may not be available when Trailer Mode is enabled."

About 5 years ago, Autopilot would be completely disabled when Trailer Mode was active, so it seems like they are making incremental improvements.

From 2016:

Thanks. From that it looks like it will have partial auto pilot and no on FSD.

Currently. That doesn't mean it won't in the future. Full Self Driving buyers would be the first to get any driving features that involve towing, though.

Elon has suggested adding cameras to the trailer via the wireless or wired network that's already in the car.

FSD is a way to pre-pay for upgrades for the automated driving features that Tesla is developing. So when Tesla develops more towing features, FSD owners get it first.
