Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're as obsessed with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) updates as I am, you've probably been refreshing your app like crazy waiting for the latest drop. Today, I'm diving into the buzz around FSD version 14.1.1.2, which is already rolling out to early access users. While many of us (myself included) are still stuck on older versions, there might be a silver lining to the wait. Let's break it down.
Tesla has started pushing out FSD version 14.1.1.2 to early release participants, and it's generating a ton of excitement. A teaser from Tesla hints at a "much-awaited feature" accompanied by a race car emoji and some smoke effects – talk about building hype! Speculation is running wild: Could this be the debut of Mad Max mode, allowing speeds beyond the current 75 mph limit for a more aggressive driving experience? Or perhaps Banish mode, where you can send your Tesla to park itself from the front of a lot, freeing you up to go about your day?
Either way, this update seems poised to enhance the autonomy and fun factor of Tesla's self-driving tech. But if you're like me and haven't even received the base V14 yet, don't fret – there's a good reason to hold off.
Tesla insider Sawier shared some valuable insights that put things into perspective. According to them:
"Version 14 will be ready for a broader public release after one more dot release. 14.1.1 is a lot better than 14.1, but in the last day or so, I've still been experiencing some hesitation and braking issues that weren't present on V13. One more DOT release should smoothen those things out. The new parking capabilities may have been really reliable for me, though. I'm liking the new speed profile too."
This is spot on! If you're relying on FSD for your daily drives, stability is key. The early versions of V14 have shown improvements in parking and speed management, but those lingering hesitation and braking glitches could be a real buzzkill. I'd rather wait for a polished release like 14.1.3 or whatever comes next – something smooth and reliable that doesn't interrupt your flow.
Having the absolute latest isn't always best, especially with software as complex as FSD. Patience here could mean fewer headaches and a better overall experience. I'm on board with this approach and happy to wait for that refined version.
If you're about to join the Tesla family or just want to upgrade your ride, remember that your new car doesn't come with everything. One essential add-on? A solid set of all-weather floor mats to keep your interior pristine through rain, snow, or mud.
