FSD v14.3.1 review after 10 drives and many hours, here are my thoughts (it’s a great one)
- v14.3.1 feels like a big jump even compared to FSD v14.3, even for “just” a point release build. Everything’s polished and smoother overall as expected.
- Always after a big update or fundamental architecture changes, there will be a couple rough edges. I was very impressed with how solid FSD v14.3 was, and .1 added a lot of polish to it.
- First big thing I noticed with this build was improved lane bias and preference changes. Notably, v14.3 would like to sit toward the left lane on emptier highways, in my driving tonight I didn’t see any of that. Will drive a lot more tomorrow to verify.
- In FSD v14.3, a new feature introduced was a new P parking icon at your destination. At first with v14.3, it didn’t show for me, then it did majority of the time. With v14.3.1, it has shown every single time now. Something new in .1 is you can now select it and change the arrival type from parking lot to garage, street parking, curbside etc. Nice improvement and quick to change.
- As with v14.3, stop sign behavior is MUCH improved. It commits and doesn’t hesitate, no double stops I’ve seen and a smoother acceleration and deceleration curve, leading to a more comfortable drive. Notably, speed bumps and dip handling is also buttery smooth, great acceleration/deceleration curve as well.
- Gated parking lots. One thing I noticed today with gated lots and garages is that it pulls up to the ticket dispenser way quicker and in a better position than before. It’s close and centered, exactly where I’d pull up. Goes right away when gate opens too, 10/10 no notes.
Parking- This is a big change with FSD v14.3+. It now picks parking spots quicker and more decisive. With v14.3.1 it’s even better, it’s picking the first spot it sees and commits, and sometimes they are even corner spots which I personally love to avoid door dings. I saw a ton of corner spot parking today which is awesome. When it’s parking, it’s so quick to decide which spot to take, but sometimes once it starts pulling in the spot it’s a bit slow to finish the maneuver as well as a bit slow in parking lots sometimes now, the final 5 feet of the maneuver are the slowest understandably. I saw an instance of the twitchy steering wheel as well.
Spot selection is so improved it’s hard to even compare to v14.2.x. What a massive upgrade and the decision making is so fast and confident.
- Speed control was great on my drives tonight, mostly city but was behaving exactly how I would and expect of it now. Went perfectly with flow of traffic on the profiles I selected. Hurry mode is dialed in, and doesn’t sit in left lane, at least on the drives I did.
- So cool to have Grok integrated with navigation. Tesla Self Driving and Grok took me to 5 separate destinations earlier with ZERO input, I just pressed start FSD and it drove, parked, unparked and got me to each destination without any intervention. Definitely worth watching the video I posted earlier of it.
- Decision making and reaction times are next level as well, it reacted to multiple bad human drivers we encountered tonight extremely well and the reaction time is lightning fast. Will post some videos tomorrow of it reacting to other vehicles, its reasoning is fantastic.
Overall, what a big polish upgrade to an already excellent build. Really excited to drive it more extensively tomorrow. Thank you to the legends @Tesla_AI for the hard work getting another fantastic build out to us, this one’s phenomenal.
