7 hours and 12 drives with FSD v14.3.2, here is my review: This is a HUGE release especially for Actually Smart Summon. Tesla has unified the model between Actually Smart Summon, FSD, and Robotaxi for the best performance and wow, what a massive change! I’m absolutely blown away by how changed it is, the response time from when you start it on your phone to the time the car responds is instantaneous. Aside from the insanely good response time, its performance is insanely smooth. I noticed it also pulls over to the spot you selected it to come to just like a Robotaxi would. Actually Smart Summon is also really great at handling heavy pedestrian traffic and heavy shopping cart traffic as I demonstrated earlier. Super courteous and confident around tough scenarios and I’m very happy to see it. You really feel the unified stack and I’m looking forward to seeing even more new features whether that’s longer range or increased speed. The driving on this build is incredible. It was already so good in v14.3.1 it’s hard to sometimes see change, but the responsiveness, smoothness, and confidence in v14.3.2 is immediately noticeable. It just took it up a whole other notch, I’d say it’s a bigger change than v14.3 -> v14.3.1 was in polish. I got to spend a lot of time on curvy roads tonight in the hills and as expected, FSD v14.3.2 did a great job there as it did before. Slightly smoother inputs than before and excellent performance even in the dark. It even saw road debris on a very dark road before I even saw it, mid corner too. Had a great drive on the highway with it tonight, it stayed out of the passing lane and had good speed control, but there wasn’t much traffic. Will get a 50+ mile drive video in the morning for everyone to see how it does. City street driving was good also, something noted was hurry’s acceleration profile was definitely more linear than before (in a good way.) Parking garage performance was good, it got right up to the ticket window in the perfect spot, then found the first available spot. It was a tighter spot, but it likes to be close up which is good. FSDs reaction time to other cars, pedestrians, cyclists and road debris is exceptional and superhuman like. Seriously impressive with v14.3 overall, pretty mind-blowing how swiftly yet smoothly it can avoid objects or other hazards. Street parking was fantastic for me. Had it pull up to my house 3-4 times in a row and each time it parallel parked or pulled up with precision and in the perfect place. Parking in parking lots was good for me today, the choices have been great and close by to entrances. Also to note on left turns, FSD all but once turned into the first available lane which is great to see. The new FSD intervention reasoning UI is cool to see, definitely more personalized + easier feedback to give. I’ve seen some people say they wish there was a navigation option, as well as it not requiring you to input something. Would like to note that the voice reporting option is also still present as well since some were wondering if it was. This update cadence is fantastic and the builds keep getting better and better. I’m looking forward to getting tons more seat time with FSD v14.3 soon on a very special cross country road trip coming up very shortly in my AI4 Model 3. I do hope the new FSD stats app is out here by then as that’ll come in very handy. THANK YOU @Tesla_AI teams for all the hard work getting these new and improved builds out so quickly. This build rocks!







Tesla V14.3 self-driving review. The point releases will bring polish. V15 will far exceed human levels of safety, even in completely unsupervised and complex situations.


BREAKING: Tesla has officially released FSD V14.3 I'm downloading it in my Model Y right now. Here's everything that's new: • Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a P icon. • Increased decisiveness of parking spot selection and maneuvering. • Rewrote the Al compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed. • Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles. • Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors. • 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. • Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, resulting in improvements in a wide variety of driving scenarios. • Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, improving understanding in rare and low-visibility scenarios, strengthening 3D geometry understanding, and expanding traffic sign understanding. • 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. Upcoming Improvements: • Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling. • Add pothole avoidance. • Improve driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.




Many people are scared to get a Tesla because they think they need to spend $5000 or more to install a charger at home. No you don't. I charge my Tesla using a regular 240v outlet in my garage. Same outlet as a dryer. Your local electrician can install one for under $500. Your new Tesla already comes with a mobile connector that plugs right into it. If you want a Tesla Wall Connector, that's $450 and about $500 to install. Get home, plug it in, and by the time you finish making dinner it's fully charged. Charging at home can cost you under $3 a day. No more spending $60 a week on gas. The savings of driving an EV are HUGE and it starts on day one. What's stopping you from making the switch?


Tesla FSD just saved two lives on the highway. A man walked straight into traffic in heavy fog/rain at 65+ mph. The Model 3 spotted him and swerved safely. Could’ve been fatal for both the pedestrian and my cousin driving. Insane reaction time. Grateful for @elonmusk @Tesla







“Chill” mode 44% over posted speed limit my only options are to disengage, or go into “Sloth” and trigger a hard brake down to 25mph @tesla_ai please fix
