Tesla FSD v14.2 Lite Gets a 56-Minute HW3 Test in Korea

Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) v14.2 Lite is getting a closer look on South Korean roads, with owner and Tesla watcher Tsla Chan posting a 56-minute drive in a 2022 Model 3 RWD equipped with the older Hardware 3 computer.

Chan shared the video on November 10 after receiving the update that day, saying he had spent about two hours driving with it. His early impressions point to improvements over v14.1 Lite, including quicker decisions, better highway speed relative to surrounding traffic and a fix for a rightward steering pull he had noticed when stopping.

Those are one driver’s initial observations, and his accompanying notes also describe moments that still needed help. He used the accelerator near a tollgate and during a hesitant unprotected left turn. At the destination, he said the car’s parking remained poor, leaving it straddling a lane line, and that his car still lacked a park-on-arrival option.

For HW3 owners, the useful part is seeing how the Lite software behaves in ordinary situations, from highway traffic to the final approach to a destination. A smoother drive can be welcome without being hands-off proof that every difficult junction or parking maneuver is solved.

The Korean test follows an earlier v14.1 Lite rollout to HW3 vehicles in South Korea. Lite is the version tailored to Tesla’s older driving computer, which has followed a different software path from newer Hardware 4 cars. The distinction matters when owners compare videos or release numbers from different vehicles and countries.

In the United States, Tesla had already started delivering v14.3 Lite for HW3 in October’s 2026.33.5 update. Chan’s Korean v14.2 Lite test should therefore be read as a regional owner report, rather than an announcement of Tesla’s newest version everywhere.

Chan’s notes provide a scene-by-scene companion to the drive, while his original post stresses that more testing is needed. Neither post establishes how widely this build has reached Korean owners or provides a controlled comparison with the previous version.

FSD remains supervised driver assistance. Tesla says its currently enabled features require an attentive driver who can intervene, and do not make the vehicle autonomous. Software, hardware and regional differences can also change which features a particular car offers.

If you drive a HW3 Tesla in South Korea, has v14.2 Lite reached your car, and what changes have you noticed?
