Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.3.5 Rolls Out With Courtesy Upgrades, Parking Complaints
Early adopters report smoother driving behavior but note parking struggles and inconsistent speed profiles.
Tesla has begun rolling out Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.3.5, with early testers reporting the update brings more cautious driving behavior alongside notable parking struggles.
What Happened
After roughly 50 miles of testing, reviewers found v14.3.5 appears more aware of its surroundings and makes moves that are courteous to other drivers. In one instance, FSD recognized a Flagger Force vehicle placing signage near a right-hand turn, slowed down, and took the corner wide without issue. The system also backed up for a semi truck making a wide turn onto a road, a maneuver reviewers described as polite rather than strictly necessary. X user Mike P shared clips showing the system navigating a narrow alley, reversing to yield to oncoming traffic, then re-entering once realizing the other vehicle was parking. However, parking performance drew criticism. Tesla owner David Moss, who has completed multiple coast-to-coast drives without interventions, reported three problematic parking attempts in 23 minutes, including parking on a ramp and positioning perpendicular to the road on street parking. Speed Profile adjustments also remain inconsistent, with reviewers frequently needing to manually change settings to achieve correct speeds.
Why It Matters
For current FSD users, v14.3.5 presents a mixed experience. The system's improved situational awareness could reduce driver interventions in complex traffic situations, but persistent parking issues may frustrate owners who rely on the feature for everyday maneuvers. Inconsistent Speed Profiles suggest Tesla still has work to do before the system behaves predictably across different road types and conditions.
The Bottom Line
Tesla's v14.3.5 update brings a new Camera Preview feature accessible anytime (previously only in Park) alongside driving behavior that early testers describe as more reserved and courteous. Parking performance, however, remains problematic enough that some users are reporting failed maneuvers within the first hours of adoption.
