Tesla FSD v14: 10x performance boost, new features & imminent release?

Elon Musk has revealed new details about the next FSD version v14 on X – and they sound like one of the biggest updates in the history of Tesla's Autopilot software. In addition to a massive 10x parameter upgrade, the update brings numerous new features such as pothole detection, significantly better parking navigation, and even more human-like driving behavior.

 

10x more AI power

The core of the update is a new FSD model with ten times the number of parameters compared to previous versions.

  • More computing power = better recognition of details and complex traffic situations

  • Improved video data through reduced compression

  • Skips the originally planned 4x version and brings the high-performance model directly

This means: FSD will be more nuanced, more anticipatory, and can react significantly more human-like.

 

New & improved capabilities

According to Musk, the focus remains clearly on safety, yet numerous comfort and precision features are added:

  • Avoiding potholes (finally back)

  • Significantly better navigation in parking lots

  • Smarter parking search and automatic parking

  • Optimized behavior at pickup and drop-off points

  • Improved lane selection & route planning

  • Better response to special cases like police or construction workers directing traffic

  • Confident handling in crowds (e.g., airport zones)

  • Smoother, more confident driving overall

 

Pothole detection: Comfort & protection

Tesla was already working on pothole labeling in 2020, but the active avoidance function never really reached customers. Now the feature is being brought back – with potentially great benefits for:

  • Driving comfort

  • Tire protection

  • Vehicle preservation


Planned schedule

  • End of September 2025: internal rollout to Tesla employees & early-access testers

  • October 2025: broader rollout to influencers & selected testers

  • Shortly thereafter: customer release if feedback is positive

Musk also confirmed: FSD v14 will have reduced driver monitoring include – in other words: fewer “Nag” alerts when the driver looks away briefly.
