Tesla began rolling out version 14.1.3 of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software on Monday, its third update in two weeks since the initial release of version 14.
The information was first shared by Tesla shareholder and influencer Sawyer Merritt on X, who had been receiving updates in the previous weeks as part of an early access group.
However, Merritt wrote on X that “over 100” owners who had not yet received any version of the V14 software reported gaining access with the latest update.
“Tesla FSD V14.1.3 has officially started rolling out to the general public! I’ve gotten messages from over 100 people in North America that have just received it on their cars,” he wrote.
“This includes Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles,” Merritt added.
One of the users who received the update said not to be “expecting it [un]til 14.2 after Elon [Musk]’s post.”
The CEO had said on Sunday that “widespread use” of the new FSD would be available by 14.2.
The statement implied that releases within the 14.1 would not be expanded beyond the initial small group or early-access testers, which included employees of the company.
The V14.1 began rolling out on October 6.
By then, VP of AI Software Ashok Elluswamy wrote on X that many follow-up versions with “significant improvements” would be released before the year’s end.
Last week — just seven days after the release — the company introduced v14.1.2, with two new driving profiles — one for higher speeds, named “MAD MAX,” and one for lower speeds, the “SLOTH.”
The release notes for v14.1.3 remained the same as FSD v14.1.2.
Musk called Version 14 the “second biggest update ever” to the system, only after the FSD 12, which was released in late 2024.
The FSD update cadence has accelerated in recent versions, according to data compiled by X user and Tesla enthusiast ‘tslachan.’
Version 12 was released on November 24, 2023, with its first update (v12.1) arriving one month later, on December 22, 2023.
FSD 13 launched a year later, with its first update rolling out just two weeks after the release.
The timeline for the latest updates on V14 shows a one-week cadence between each.
A day after the launch of FSD 14, Musk wrote on X that the 14.2 would roll out “in a few weeks and then 14.3 a few weeks later, depending on safety testing.”
“There is so much change that we are carefully confirming each one,” the CEO added.
On the same day, Musk wrote that “by V14.3, your car will feel like it is sentient.”
Earlier this Summer, Musk had stated that “the car will feel almost like it is [a] sentient being by 14.2.”
The FSD software is available for purchase in the United States with a single payment of $8,000 or through a monthly subscription priced at $99.
The system is also available in Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.
Earlier this year, it was introduced in China; however, it faces several hardware limitations and has led customers to accuse Tesla of consumer fraud.
The company is “awaiting regulatory approval” to expand the system to its European markets, with Sweden and the Netherlands being among the most likely markets to debut the technology.
