FSD Version History › FSD 13.1

Tesla FSD 13.1

Released

Overview

FSD 13.1 is an incremental improvement over the V13 architecture, focusing on edge-case handling and reducing intervention rates in dense city traffic.

What's new in FSD 13.1

  • Improved lane-change initiation in dense traffic
  • Better handling of temporary traffic control devices (cones, flaggers)
  • Reduced speed profile oscillation on winding roads
  • Improved response to emergency vehicles
  • Better curb and obstacle avoidance in tight parking scenarios

Known issues

  • Some users report overly conservative gap acceptance at busy intersections
  • Occasional unexpected speed reduction in construction zones

Community feedback

Early adopters praise improved consistency in daily commutes. City driving confidence reportedly up significantly compared to V12 series.
