Tesla has delayed the release of its next major Full Self-Driving (Supervised) update, version 14, to Monday, October 6.
In a post on X, CEO Elon Musk said a “last minute bug cropped up” with the latest build, forcing the company to push back the rollout. Musk added that the short delay gives Tesla engineers “time to add a few more features” before launch.
This comes after Musk previously indicated that FSD v14 would begin rolling out sometime this week. According to him, the update is powered by a model with 10 times more parameters than the current version, which he said will deliver “a dramatic gain” in performance along with additional refinements.
One of the more practical improvements expected with FSD 14 is that it will “nag you much less,” reducing the number of driver attention reminders once Tesla confirms the system’s safety in real-world driving.
FSD has been rapidly improving in recent months. Back in July, Tesla’s driver-assistance suite significantly outperformed Chinese ADAS competitors in new crash avoidance tests. However, Musk believes version 14 will take things up another notch, touting it as the second biggest update to FSD after version 12 and describing it as feeling “sentient” in comparison to earlier iterations. He has also suggested that FSD 14 could surpass human drivers by as much as 2–3x in overall safety and performance.
Tesla’s endgame for FSD remains achieving fully autonomous driving at scale, with Musk describing it as one of the company’s most important technologies. Whether version 14 lives up to the lofty expectations will become clearer once it begins rolling out to customers early next week.
