FSD Radar helps used-Tesla buyers find cars with Full Self-Driving already attached. To do that, a small, slow, identified program reads public used-inventory pages. This page says exactly what it does and how to stop it.

Updated October 2026

How to recognise it

Every request carries this User-Agent, and no other:

FSDRadarBot/1.0 (+https://fsdradar.com/bot; info@fsdradar.com)

It never pretends to be a browser, never uses proxies or rotating addresses, never solves or bypasses a challenge page, never logs in, and never submits a form or contacts a seller.

What it reads

  • Public used-inventory pages and vehicle detail pages that your robots.txt allows.
  • Facts about each Tesla: VIN, year, model, trim, price, mileage, your dealership name and city, and the link to your listing.
  • One short matched sentence (at most 300 characters) when your listing text mentions Autopilot or Full Self-Driving, quoted and credited to you.
  • Nothing else. It does not copy photos, descriptions in full, phone numbers or email addresses. Every car we show links back to your page.

How gently it behaves

  • One request at a time per site, with at least 10 seconds between requests (more if your Crawl-delay asks for it).
  • At most 1,000 pages a day per site, usually far fewer: it reads your Tesla index page and only the vehicle pages it has not seen recently.
  • It re-reads your robots.txt at least daily and obeys it.
  • A 401, 403, 429, 451 or a challenge page makes it stop on that site at once. It does not retry from another address.

How to stop it

Either of these works immediately for new requests:

  • Add to your robots.txt: User-agent: FSDRadarBot then Disallow: /
  • Email info@fsdradar.com. We stop crawling your site the same day, remove your listings from FSD Radar within 24 hours, and tell you when it is done.

Verifying a request

We do not publish our server address on this page. If you see traffic you want to confirm, email the address and time to info@fsdradar.com and we will tell you whether it was ours.

Prefer to send us a feed?

If you would rather give us your inventory directly, or have a licensing arrangement for it, write to the same address. A feed from you always replaces crawling.
