Frequently asked questions

What is the latest Tesla FSD version?

The latest Tesla FSD version is 13.2, released on 2025-02-15. FSD 13.2 refines the neural planner with improved urban intersection handling and smoother highway merges. Fleet-wide miles between interventions continue to trend upward. Read full release notes →

How does Tesla FSD work?

Tesla FSD V12+ uses an end-to-end neural network that processes images from 8 cameras and outputs steering, acceleration, and braking commands directly — without hand-coded rules. The model is trained via imitation learning on billions of miles of real-world fleet driving data collected from Tesla vehicles worldwide.

Tesla FSD vs Waymo: which is better?

Tesla FSD (SAE Level 2+) operates on consumer vehicles across the US and requires driver supervision. Waymo (SAE Level 4) operates as a driverless robotaxi in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Waymo achieves a lower disengagement rate in its operational domain; Tesla FSD has broader geographic reach and is improving rapidly with fleet learning. See the full comparison →

Is Tesla FSD worth the subscription?

Tesla FSD ($99/month in the US) offers highway and city driving assistance including automatic lane changes, traffic light response, and navigation on city streets. Its value depends on commute type — urban driving sees the most benefit. The system improves continuously via over-the-air software updates tied to each new FSD version.
