Tesla shared a story about John Foppe, who was born without arms and has been driving Teslas for over seven years. According to the post, "FSD Supervised lets him navigate the road without conventional steering – commuting to his non-profit job & visiting his daughter over 500 miles away."

The post underscores how Tesla's Full Self-Driving Supervised capability can adapt vehicle controls to accommodate drivers with different physical needs. Foppe's ability to handle both routine commutes and longer trips highlights the practical accessibility benefits the feature provides to users who cannot operate a traditional steering wheel.
