Tesla AI chief Ashok Elluswamy said FSD V14 Lite is rolling out to “AI3 early-access customers” and will expand “over the next few weeks” based on feedback. The update gives millions of older Teslas a long-awaited FSD upgrade, though it remains supervised and does not enable unsupervised driving. Elluswamy said V14 Lite “distills the driving behavior from AI4’s v14 series” into Hardware 3, with “significantly improved safety” as the biggest upgrade. Shares of Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) rose 1% premarket on Monday. TSLA stock snapped a three-session losing streak on Friday, ending 1% higher at $379.71. Hardware 3 cars had been stuck on FSD version 12.6 since early 2025. The update improves navigation handling, merges and forks, pedestrian interactions, traffic lights and vehicle cut-ins, and adds smoother steering, fewer false slowdowns, more consistent lane centering, and new parking, unparking and reversing features. Drivers also get Arrival Options and Speed Profiles are now available at all times. CEO Elon Musk told investors earlier this year that Hardware 3 “simply does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD,” citing memory bandwidth limits versus Hardware 4.
