Tesla Software Update 2025.32.8.5 Release Notes: FSD 14 is Here

After weeks of anticipation, Tesla has officially begun rolling out Full Self-Driving (Supervised) version 14.1 with software update 2025.32.8.5 to early access testers and a select group of customers. Elon Musk confirmed on X that the update marks the beginning of a wide rollout, adding that versions 14.2 and 14.3 are expected to follow “in a few weeks,” pending additional safety testing.

The latest release comes after Tesla delayed the launch of FSD 14 last week due to a last-minute bug that was discovered just before deployment. Musk previously described FSD 14 as the second biggest update ever to Tesla’s autonomous driving system — behind the landmark release of version 12. He also said that the new version runs on a model with ten times more parameters than the current iteration, promising “a dramatic gain” in real-world driving performance.

One of the more practical upgrades coming with FSD 14 is that it will “nag you much less,” meaning fewer steering wheel prompts and driver attention reminders once Tesla verifies safety performance across its global fleet.

Take a look at the official release notes for the FSD 14.1 update from Tesla below:

FSD (Supervised) v14.1

  • Added Arrival Options for you to select where FSD should park: in a Parking Lot, on the Street, in a Driveway, in a Parking Garage, or at the Curbside.
  • Added handling to pull over or yield for emergency vehicles (e.g. police cars, fire trucks, ambulances).
  • Added navigation and routing into the vision-based neural network for real-time handling of blocked roads and detours.
  • Added additional Speed Profile to further customize driving style preference.
  • Improved handling for static and dynamic gates.
  • Improved offsetting for road debris (e.g. tires, tree branches, boxes).
  • Improve handling of several scenarios including: unprotected turns, lane changes, vehicle cut-ins, and school busses.
  • Improved FSD’s ability to manage system faults and recover smoothly from degraded operation for enhanced reliability.
  • Added alerting for residue build-up on interior windshield that may impact front camera visibility. If affected, visit Service for cleaning!
  • Added automatic narrow field washing to provide rapid and efficient front camera self-cleaning, and optimize aerodynamics wash at higher vehicle speed.

Upcoming Improvements:

  • Overall smoothness and sentience
  • Parking spot selection and parking

Arrival Options

  • You can now select an arrival option such as Parking Lot, Street, Driveway, Parking Garage and Curbside for Robotaxi-style drop offs.
  • Your preferences for arrival options and preferred parking positions are persisted for each destination.
  • Our reasoning model will assess the suitable options for your destination and pick an intuitive default.

Speed Profiles

FSD (Supervised) will now determine the appropriate speed based on a mix of driver profile, speed limit, and surrounding traffic.

  • Introduced new Speed Profile SLOTH, which comes with lower speeds & more conservative lane selection than CHILL.
  • Driver profile now has a stronger impact on behavior. The more assertive the profile, the higher the max speed.
  • Right scroll-wheel up/down now adjusts Speed Profile setting rather than your precise max speed offset selection in mph/kph.

UI Improvements

  • Start Self-Driving with a tap of the touchscreen from Park, or any time during your drive.
  • Adjust settings like the Speed Profile and Arrival Options directly from the Autopilot visualization on the center display.

Brake Confirm

Brake Confirm for the Start Self-Driving button is now defaulted off. When disabled, Start Self-Driving will not require you to press and release the brake to confirm engagement. You can enable Brake Confirm in Autopilot > Brake Confirm.

Tesla says FSD 14.2 and 14.3 will arrive in the coming weeks, bringing even more refinements and “overall smoothness and sentience” as the system moves toward full autonomy. Stay tuned for our coverage of FSD 14 reviews from early adopters and details on upcoming updates.
