This release adds FSD v14.3.6 for HW4 and FSD 14 Lite for HW3.
FSD (Supervised) v14.3.6
Availability: HW4. Models: S, 3, X, Y, CT.
Changes in this version:
- Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, improving performance across a wide variety of driving scenarios.
- Upgraded the neural network vision encoder to better handle rare and low-visibility situations, strengthen 3D geometry understanding, and expand traffic sign understanding.
- Rewrote the AI compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed.
- Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors.
- Increased decisiveness when selecting and maneuvering into parking spots.
- Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a P icon.
- Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles.
- Improved handling of small animals by focusing RL training on harder examples and adding rewards for better proactive safety.
- Improved traffic light handling at complex intersections with compound lights, curved roads, and yellow light stopping — driven by training on hard RL examples sourced from the Tesla fleet.
- Improved handling for rare and unusual objects extending, hanging, or leaning into the vehicle path by sourcing infrequent events from the fleet.
- Improved handling of temporary system degradations by maintaining control and automatically recovering without driver intervention, reducing unnecessary disengagements.
- Unified the model between Actually Smart Summon, FSD, and Robotaxi for more capable and reliable behavior. (New in FSD v14.3.2 for non-Cybertrucks, New in FSD v14.3.4 for the Cybertruck)
- Help Tesla improve Self-Driving by selecting an intervention reason on the main screen after taking over. (New in FSD v14.3.2)
- Improved driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.
- Actually Smart Summon max speed is now increased to 8mph (13km/h). (Added in FSD v14.3.3, not available on Cybertruck)
- You can now see distance traveled in FSD (Supervised) without an intervention. The Self-Driving App will also show your longest intervention-free streak. (Added in FSD v14.3.3)
- Parking options now display on the map when arriving at your destination. (Added in FSD v14.3.4)
Upcoming Improvements
- Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling.
- Add pothole avoidance.
Actually Smart Summon
Actually Smart Summon (ASS) and Dumb Summon are now available for Cybertruck.
FSD (Supervised) v14 Lite
Availability: HW3. Models: 3, Y.
- Distilled the intelligence from HW4 V14 into HW3, allowing HW3 to learn scenario handling using HW4 V14 as a guide. This unlocks improvements made to HW4, including Reinforcement Learning (RL) and offline models, for HW3.
- Improved both proactive and reactive responsiveness across navigation handling, merges and forks, pedestrian interactions, traffic lights, and vehicle cut-in scenarios.
- Improved overall comfort via fewer false slowdowns, smoother steering, and more consistent lane centering.
- Introduced parking, unparking, and reversing capabilities.
- Added Arrival Options to choose where FSD should pull over or park: in a Parking Lot, on the Street, or in a Driveway.
- Speed Profiles are now available at all times to further tailor driving style.
Self-Driving App
Availability: HW3. Models: 3, Y.
Use the new Self-Driving app to subscribe with a single tap, learn how to activate and use the feature, and view ongoing stats. To open, go to App Launcher > Self-Driving.
Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
Availability: HW4. Models: S, 3, X, Y, CT.
Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can start from a parked position, make lane changes, select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate around other vehicles and objects, make left and right turns, and park at your destination. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive. It does not make your vehicle autonomous.
Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled on your vehicle. To use it, press the Start Self-Driving button on the UI, or press the right scroll wheel button once. You can disable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Autopilot Settings.
Start Self-Driving from Park
Availability: HW3. Models: 3, Y.
A button appears on the screen when driver requirements are met. Driver requirements include (but are not limited to):
- Driver is seated in the drivers seat
- Driver is buckled
- Cabin Camera is unobstructed
Brake Confirm requires the driver to press and release the brake pedal before FSD (Supervised) can be activated. When Brake Confirm is disabled, pressing the button will allow Self-Driving to apply the brakes and engage FSD (Supervised). If driver detection requirements are not met or if FSD (Supervised) does not detect a driver, you will be required to press and release the brake pedal to confirm. You can enable Brake Confirm in Self-Driving > Brake Confirm.
This feature does not make your vehicle autonomous and you must remain attentive and ready to take over at any time. Only a licensed driver authorized to operate the vehicle should have access to the drivers seat position any time the vehicle is not in Theater or Arcade modes.
Arrival Options
Availability: HW3. Models: 3, Y.
- Select an arrival option such as Parking Lot, Street, Driveway, or Pull Over for Robotaxi-style drop offs.
- Your preferences for arrival options and preferred parking positions are saved for each destination.
Speed Profiles
Availability: HW3. Models: 3, Y.
FSD (Supervised) now determines the appropriate speed based on a mix of driver profile, speed limit, and surrounding traffic.
- Introduced the new Speed Profile SLOTH, which uses lower speeds and more conservative lane selection than CHILL.
- Driver profile now has a stronger impact on behavior; the more assertive the profile, the higher the max speed.
- The right scroll-wheel up/down now adjusts the Speed Profile setting rather than a precise max speed offset in mph/kph.
UI Improvements
Availability: HW3. Models: 3, Y.
Adjust settings such as the Speed Profile and Arrival Options directly from the Self-Driving visualization on the center display.
Camera Preview
Availability: Available Worldwide; HW4. Models: S (New), 3, X (New), Y, CT.
You can now open Camera Preview at any time, even if the vehicle is not in Park. Go to Controls > Service > Camera Preview and tap any camera view to see it individually. Tap the grid button to switch back to all cameras.
Blind Spot Warning While Parked
Availability: Available Worldwide. Models: S (New), X (New), Y (New).
If you attempt to open a door while an approaching object is detected in your blind spot (for example, a bicyclist approaching from behind), a chime sounds and the door will not open on the initial button press. Wait a short time and press the button a second time to override the warning.
Dashcam Clip Encryption
Availability: Available Worldwide; requires Ryzen. Models: S (New), 3, X (New), Y, CT.
Dashcam clips are now encrypted for privacy when saved to your USB flash drive. Only your vehicle can view them. To decrypt clips, tap the padlock icon in the Dashcam app or visit dashcam.tesla.com. To disable encryption, go to Controls > Safety > Encrypt Dashcam Recordings.
Parental Controls
Availability: Available Worldwide. Models: S (New), 3, X (New), Y, CT.
You can block Browser, Theater, and Arcade by going to Controls > Safety > Parental Controls while in Park.
"Hey Grok"
Availability: Models: S (New), 3, X, Y, CT.
You can now talk to Grok, an intelligent assistant built by xAI. To launch Grok, go to App Launcher > Grok, long-press the voice button on your steering wheel, or say "Hey Grok." Enable "Hey Grok" in Grok > Settings. Say "goodbye" to dismiss.
You can choose Groks voice and personality, ranging from Storyteller to Unhinged. Set Groks personality to Assistant to have Grok add and edit navigation destinations, becoming your personal guide. You can also set location based reminders, like "remind me to pick up milk when Im near home." Enable location based reminders in Grok > Settings.
Requires Premium Connectivity or a WiFi connection. Conversations are anonymous to Tesla and not associated with your vehicle.
Note: Grok is currently in early Beta and does not support voice commands for car controls other than navigation. Existing voice commands remain unchanged. "Hey Grok" is trained on American English.
Security Improvements
