What To Do If Tesla Safety Score Not Showing Up?

Tesla has amazed millions of people with their innovative techs. Recently, they have introduced the FSD feature. It includes a self-driving feature, many autonomous features, a safety score feature, etc.

However, the safety score feature has been buggy lately. Especially, many tesla users have complained regarding difficulties in checking the safety score. 

So, why is the tesla safety score not showing up?

Firstly, if you’re not subscribed to FSD packages, you won’t get the safety score. Secondly, without proper docs, there won’t be any safety score as well. Moreover, the score will only show if you’re logged in with the primary driver profile. Finally, software glitches can also cause this issue.

Knowing all this information is necessary, but you need more of it. That’s exactly what I’ve provided here to solve this whole issue.

So, let’s get on with it!

Quick Fixes

Before heading to the main reasons for the safety score not showing up, there are some quick fixes. Sometimes these Quick fixes might get rid of big problems without much hassle.

Below let’s have a look and learn about them in detail.

Check Trip Count

Your Tesla car will need a minimum of 2 trips before it can show the safety score. If you’re thinking that the safety score will be available after your first trip, you’re wrong. 

So, complete 2 full trips to avail the safety score. Simply driving around your garage won’t do the job. Go to the supermarket or somewhere close for triggering 1 trip count.

If that doesn’t work, do a tesla safety score reset and try again. The safety score should pop up then. If you don’t know how to reset the tesla safety score then you can check it out here.

Check WiFi Strength

This may seem unfit for a quick fix, but it is quite relevant. In fact, Tesla has mentioned that getting safety scores with a weak wifi signal is tough. In this case, you can’t access tesla website as well.

To strengthen the wifi signal, you can call your ISP and convey the issue. Or you can subscribe to a better package. Placing your wifi modems and routers in the center of your house can improve the signal. 

Check the Driver Profile

This is a common mistake made by many tesla drivers.
For the tesla safety score driver profile being the primary owner’s account is necessary. If the driver profile that you’re using does not belong to the primary owner, the safety score won’t show.

In order to log in to the driver profile, log out first. Then, put the credentials of the primary owner and log in. That should do the trick.

3 Reasons Why the Tesla Safety Score is Not Showing Up!

There are multiple reasons behind the tesla safety score not showing. And it is a common issue for the Tesla driver.

I have discussed these reasons below. Additionally, I included the solutions for them. Check it out here!

Reason 1: No Subscriptions of FSD Packages

Tesla has declared that all the FSD advantages and programs will be available with a subscription. Tesla offers 2 packages of FSDs 

  • Basic autopilot to FSD capability
  • Enhanced autopilot to FSD capability

If you’re not subscribed to any of these packages, you won’t get the safety score. It is not possible to see the tesla safety score without fsd subscription.

Also, you may not find the tesla not showing traffic cones and many other features.

Because the safety score is part of the FSD beta package.

Don’t stress though. I have included the solution for this issue down below. Check it out.

Solution: 

First of all, you need to check if you are subscribed to FSD packages. It might seem complex to determine if your tesla has FSD.

So you may ask, how can I tell if a tesla has fsd?

To do that, access the autopilot configuration from the tesla’s touchscreen interface. First, go to ‘Control’. Then, go to ‘Software’. Finally, go to ‘Additional Vehicle Information’. You can see the subscription status from there.

So check if you’re subscribed. If you’re unsubscribed, you can subscribe easily by going to Tesla’s website. 

You can also schedule appointments with tesla from the Tesla app on your phone. For these subscriptions, you have to pay 99-199$; depending on your state.

Tesla will install the FSD computer if you make an appointment. Without FSD, cruise controls may not work. This issue is similar to dysfunctional honda civic cruise control.

The tesla safety score android version will be available through the app. If you’re wondering where is safety score in tesla app, it’ll be on the home screen. In the ios, you can see the score once you click the “Safety Score beta” option.

  • The firmware version should be 2021.32.22 or above.
  • The tesla app version should be 4.1.0 or above.
  • Complete FSD beta request.

It’ll take some days for tesla support to enable it.

Reason 3: Software Glitch

Believe it or not, as advanced as Tesla is, its application still has many bugs. In general, all software has small or big glitches.

For these glitches, the safety score sometimes does not show. The safety scores usually show up on the home screen. The software glitches cause the home screen to be empty.

These software glitches can cause a series of problems. For instance, it can cause bluetooth problems in Acura RDX.

This situation can be frustrating, but I have the solution below. Check it out.

Solution:

You can follow some regular software glitch remedies for this issue. Check the steps below-

  • Firstly, log out of the tesla app. Additionally, clear all the app data and cache from the settings.
  • Secondly, log in back again. Remember to use the primary owner’s info.
  • Finally, relaunch the app. This should totally reset the app and bypass all software glitches.

If the above steps don’t work, you can try reinstalling the tesla app. Reinstalling any app gives it a fresh start; which should make the safety score appear!

So these are a few reasons and solutions behind the tesla safety score not showing up.
