Tesla has started deploying Full Self-Driving (Supervised) version 14.2 to an initial batch of vehicles equipped with AI4 hardware. The update features an upgraded neural network vision encoder and new user interface improvements. Early testers report smoother driving performance without hesitation or braking issues.
On November 21, 2025, Tesla initiated a limited rollout of FSD (Supervised) V14.2, firmware version 2025.38.9.5, to early-access customers, primarily Model Y owners in California with AI4 hardware and Cybertrucks. This update builds on V14.1, incorporating enhancements observed in social media reports from users like Whole Mars Catalog and DevinOlsenn.
Key improvements include an upgraded neural network vision encoder that leverages higher-resolution camera imagery to better handle emergency vehicles, road obstacles, and human gestures such as stop signals or waves. Release notes detail added protocols for pulling over or yielding to police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances, alongside real-time navigation integration for blocked roads and detours. Users can now select arrival options like parking in a lot, on the street, in a driveway, garage, or curbside, and adjust speed profiles before starting FSD, even while parked.
A new 'Self-Driving Stats' menu tracks total miles driven, FSD-enabled miles, and the percentage since V14.2 installation, though it is not retroactive and cannot be reset. Additional refinements cover unprotected turns, lane changes, vehicle cut-ins, school buses, static and dynamic gates, road debris offsetting, and system fault management. An alert notifies of interior windshield residue affecting camera visibility.
Elon Musk previously stated in October that V14.2 is targeted for 'widespread use,' responding to tester feedback on V14.1.2. Early impressions from Sawyer Merritt highlight zero interventions over 85 miles, describing it as comfortable and ready for broader AI4 deployment where legal. Musk noted on X that V14.3 will deliver the 'last big piece of the puzzle.' Upcoming features include overall smoothness, sentience-like behavior, and improved parking selection. The rollout remains staged, with no timeline for full release to Hardware 3 vehicles.
