First Look at Tesla's FSD v14.2.2.3

Yesterday, Tesla released the next version of FSD to its early access group. FSD v14.2.2.3 arrives with update 2025.45.8. While it appears to be a minor revision to FSD v14.2.2.2, users are already noticing behavior changes.

The release notes remain unchanged, but early-access FSD testing suggests this release includes further improvements and not merely minor fixes.

Low Speed Awareness

The most tangible improvement in v14.2.2.3 appears to be in its low-speed spatial awareness, specifically regarding FSD Autopark. Historically, FSD’s parking, when not initiated manually via Autopark, was often hesitant, requiring multiple shuffles to align the vehicle properly, or, rarely, missing entirely.

Recent testing shows improved parking at the destination, with the vehicle now more confident and able to park in a single maneuver. Across various parking scenarios, ranging from perpendicular charging stalls to tight parallel street parking, FSD achieved success without requiring any corrections or realignment. FSD now positions itself for reversing with greater forethought, likely a sign of FSD’s improving reasoning capabilities.

That reasoning is most evident in a moment when FSD navigated a parking garage incorrectly, then self-corrected with a 3-point turn and continued.

This precision is also extending to the last few inches of the drive. Early access users are also seeing the vehicle center itself better in a parking spot or when pulling over.

High Speed Reactions

On the other side of the velocity spectrum, v14.2.2.3 is also showing increased confidence in spirited driving scenarios. When using Mad Max on technical canyon roads, FSD now feels more capable.

The small refinements here mean that FSD now reacts correctly during dynamic turns, keeping itself properly centered. This confidence also translates to the highway, with the overall experience smoother and both Hurry and Mad Max better positioned for overtakes and merges.

FSD v14.2.2.3 is a reminder that in the world of AI and neural networks, tiny step-change improvements can often be bigger than they seem. While the version number and release notes suggest a trivial change, early testing paints a much smoother, well-thought-out drive.
