FSD v14.3.11 begins rolling out, with a Lite version for HW3 cars

Tesla began rolling out FSD v14.3.11 on firmware 2026.33.5, according to the published release notes and fleet trackers. It is the newest FSD (Supervised) version and is for Hardware 4 cars. A version called FSD v14.3 Lite is going out on the same 2026.33.5 firmware to Hardware 3 cars at the same time.

Who gets it, and when

The first wave is going to the Early Access Group, made up of experienced owners and select influencers. Fleet tracking platforms TeslaFi.com and Tessie indicate the version has reached less than 1% of the fleet. If you are not in that group, expect to wait for a wider release. Nothing in the notes gives a date for that.

HW3 owners should note that the Lite build is a separate version from the one HW4 cars get. One early-access tester in New York City, driving a Model S Plaid, reported a drive of about 25 minutes with no interventions and smoother unprotected left turns than on earlier versions. That is a single owner's impression, not a measured result.

What the release notes list

The notes match what came before and feature Automatic Collision Evasion. It can engage while you are driving manually if the car predicts that a crash is about to happen and stopping may not prevent it, or if it detects inattention from you while behind the wheel, or that FSD may have been unintentionally disengaged.

Other items that matter in daily use:

• Improved handling of emergency vehicles, school buses and right-of-way violators.
• Better traffic light handling at complex intersections, including yellow light stopping.
• Improved handling of small animals and of objects hanging or leaning into the path.
• A rewritten AI compiler and runtime, which Tesla says gives 20% faster reaction time.
• Actually Smart Summon max speed is now 8mph (13km/h).
• Parking location pins shown on the map with a (P) icon, and parking options displayed when you arrive.
• A display of distance travelled in FSD (Supervised) without an intervention, plus your longest intervention-free streak.
• An option to select what caused your takeover shown on the display after returning control to the vehicle.

Tesla lists pothole avoidance and wider reasoning across all behaviours as upcoming improvements, not as part of this release.

What owners should do

FSD remains supervised, so keep your hands ready and your attention on the road, particularly with the new collision evasion behaviour in mind. If you are weighing whether FSD is worth paying for, an update that is on under 1% of cars is early evidence only. Waiting for wider rollout reports is a sensible approach.
