Blog Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Software Deployed to ‘Careful Drivers’

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving beta rolled out Tuesday night, according to a tweet form Chief Executive Elon Musk.

The new software is a substantial re-write of the automakers self-driving technology. Musk has been testing the update, calling the improvements “profound.” 

“I think we’ll hopefully release a private beta of Autopilot, of the full self-driving version of Autopilot in, I think, a month or so, and then people will really understand just the magnitude of the change,” Musk said at Tesla’s recent Battery Day event. “It’s profound…you’ll see it. It’s just like a hell of a step change.”

Musk teased the Oct. 20 rollout earlier in the month, saying FSD would be released to a limited number of people identified as “expert and careful drivers.”

He reiterated that caution Tuesday, highlighting that the FSD beta is being released in an “extremely slow and cautious” manner.

FSD has been a long wait for many who purchased the pricey option. Tesla hoped to release a feature-complete version of FSD update by the end of last year, but didn’t achieve that goal. It seems the company is finally taking that next step toward the fully autonomous car it promised.

Did you receive the update?

I’ve been searching rather diligently, but I cannot seem to find anywhere that describes how one knows if one has the new FSD Beta build?

If you had the beta you would know. Especially since you would have signed a legally binding NDA. There are also numerous visible differences between the beta and general public releases.

TeslaScope was tracking the beta versions for a while but last I checked they removed them. Possibly at request of Tesla?

The beta versions keep changing. There has been several now. Something like 6 or 8 so far I think?

EDIT: Tesla Software Updates actually lists all the beta versions.

Yes, please request the upgrade through your Tesla app!
They will let you know when the hardware will be available

......and then charge you thousands for mods.

(...like the "infotainment" scam that brought my 2.5 to 3.0 for lots of $$$$$. ...AND don't tell me "Elon said" he would make upgrades for folks who paid for FSD...Tesla will just do some "marketing" to squeeze more thousands $$$$$ from us.)
