@LiamsDadTravel If you pass through Springfield IL, toot the horn

We are driving all night Wednesday Thursday. 2026-07-29th 20:54

Just had a not so great experience w/ ambulance approaching from the rear. NO siren or lights. FSD started riding the shoulder at 55mph w/out signal. Disengaged as I thought FSD failed. Great to see it may respond to emergency vehicles, but a false positive was scary. @Tesla_AI

Check out how v14lite handled these wildlife cases for me on IL backroads. @Tesla_AI saving deer and turkey @JonBbC_TechGeek @koby_pierce @Deandawiz

@JonBbC_TechGeek @koby_pierce @TexasTSLA We love yall. Keep up the good work 💪🏻 @koby_pierce @JonBbC_TechGeek

@koby_pierce @TexasTSLA So annoying.

A lot of people are curious to hear if v14 Lite is good or not. It seems that some of the early “influencers” were pumping it and raving about how good it was, but as soon as it went wider, a lot of people were disappointed since it didn’t meet their expectations. I got some really angry DMs from people saying it was my fault for allowing it to go wider! They were very upset with me. On the other hand, if I point out the problems, people also get upset. So no matter what, I can never win. I created a poll to understand the real situation with v14 Lite. 70% of people said it was an improvement over v12.6.4.

@koby_pierce Great feedback. Love hearing that the +/- stab issue was not present in EA release. I know they can resolve that, parking & make it less timid in general. It’s pretty damn good. I think all the people crying were just used to v12 and v14L simply drives differently, not worse.

v14 Lite Streak Update: Just hit 10k miles of v14 driving through a very wide verity of situations and 2,000mi streak miles of driving through Rural Canada and Alaska. This version definitely has its quirks but the edge case performance and reaction speed is SOO much better. The micro-stutters/micro-spasms in this newest v14 Lite release (the wide one) is very annoying but not unsafe. Hopefully they work on it a bit more and bring back the smoothness and confidence of the first two v14 Lite Versions!

@MyTeslaMoonship Climate options should pop up when you put the car in park and your not at home/work/etc. Hope that becomes an options one day. Either set to auto when not at home, or just pop up so I remember to turn it on.

I am getting better at remembering to activate Keep in my Tesla. This heat requires it. 😂

@brewski77 street, driveway, parking lot at home for me. Have a mobile connector in the garage, but no charger option. It always pulls nose in on the opposite side of driveway I would prefer 😂

What options do you get when pulling up to your own house on FSD V 14 Lite ? Also first time my car backed into our driveway and wow !!

@SteaknShake @zaneccampbell @Pelhof 🤷🏻 random

@koby_pierce @SantoroSystems thanks! stream video frozen fyi

@vern30stein @SantoroSystems I think we are headed back now

@BLKMDL3 My major thing after 24 hours is the lack of route options in the nav. Daily I click an alternate route for my first 2 stops. Anytime I check for an alternate route now, I rarely see one. This prevents me from properly reaching daycare and work parking garage.

Got a couple hours of driving in this morning with the FSD v14 lite update (2026.20.6.11) and while still impressive and significantly better than v12.6.4, I’m seeing some regressions from the previous update (2026.20.6.10) which was an amazing update. I had about 2 hours of driving today to a meeting and back on this newest update, it was overall good. This build is not as bad as people are saying, but to me it feels like they adjusted some weights for wide release to make it slightly more cautious which I understand of course. I may be totally wrong but that’s just a guess I had based on how it drove before. I saw two brake stabs, one for a pedestrian and one approaching a railroad crossing. This version still has the excellent reaction time and awareness of the previous versions, which is great. I haven’t had enough time with it parking, but the one parking job I saw seemed just ok. I’ll go out later for more a bunch more drives, focusing on parking and busy streets, the drives I did earlier were fine, but 2026.20.6.10 was definitely better.

@itskyleconner Definitely experienced this.

I’m calling this the v14 Lite “lurch” Quick stabs of accelerator or regen for .3 sec or so - must’ve taken too much training models by uber drivers

@Deandawiz I think you and I are the only 2 without v14lite at this point 😆

@vad3rt3sla Auto shift 😜

At this point, Tesla could just release swipe to drive for legacy Model 3/Y

@LiamsDadTravel Did you all find a place to stay?

@j32pmxr @Tesla_AI I see this with 12.6.4 quite often. Exact issue you mentioned. It gets scared around a semi on a curve.

V14 Lite has a "semi pacing" issue that I've found. Sometimes (around a curve??) it will pass a slower truck and then suddenly slow down to start pacing it instead of continuing to pass at the same speed it was going. @Tesla_AI

@wholemars This is great. I add in drop off every day on the way to work and I also have to click on an alternate route every day. Not for l ong!

Now you won’t even have to enter a destination. Your Tesla can just guess where you want to go, and then drive you there.

@Tesla AI3 cars get this too? Damn, it's a big week if so!

@koby_pierce Awesome Koby! Happy for you to get this! How long do you guys plan to be in Fairbanks before heading North? I don't want to miss the action.

New FSD v14 Lite Update. Let’s hope it goes wide, I’ll let you guys know first impressions tomorrow!

@koby_pierce @DavidMoss @LiamsDadTravel Whats the status of the trip @koby_pierce ? Hoping all is well, but saw there was a service visit and been in Seattle for 2 days now. Maybe it's planned, but can't find any info on what's happening or what's next. @DavidMoss @LiamsDadTravel 🤞
