Elon Musk is reviewing FSD Beta v11.3 for release this week
Not a Tesla App
If you’ve followed Tesla and Elon Musk, you know timelines are not that firm. However, the long-awaited FSD Beta version 11.3 seems to be on track to meet its revised — and revised again — timeline. Musk let his 126.9 million Twitter followers know he is reviewing FSD for possible release.
Tesla Owners Silicon Valley tweeted a video of FSD in action during a complex traffic situation. The tweet reads:
So much fake news about #FSDBeta being vaporware and yet it’s insane how it can handle real world situations like this. A four way stop with pedestrians along with a random cross walk with pedestrian. The lady even waves thinking it was me doing it. 95% of people don’t this.
Musk was one of the 1.6 million views the video generated. He responded: 99% of people still have no idea how profound this is. Tesla Owners Silicon Valley jumped on the response by asking the burning question, when is FSD Beta v11.3 coming? Musk replied: I’m reviewing it next week for possible release.
Important Week for Tesla
We are now into that week, and Musk’s timing lines up with a tweet two weeks ago that projected two weeks and last week that estimated a week or two. It also works well for Tesla with a significant event this week. The company reports earnings on Wednesday, January 25th, and this call will be unlike anything the company has experienced in recent memory.
While Tesla continues ramping up production, it got hammered in the stock market, closing its worst year on record. Although Tesla got rid of its communications team years ago, it would be an excellent public relations move to unveil the most advanced FSD to subscribers to soften the blow.
Possible v11.3 Features
Of course, the CEO has hyped this version for several months now. The engineers have been developing the system to use neural nets for navigation and vehicle control instead of just vision.
There could also be ASS, actual smart summon, which is the ability to call the Tesla to your location or have it drop you off and go to find a parking spot.
Another possible new feature is reverse creep, an enhancement that reverses or moves the car to escape dangerous situations.
Of course, no one is holding their breath, as several Tesla enthusiasts responded to Musk’s tweet with old-age memes. But maybe those Tesla owners will be pleasantly surprised this week.

Tesla continues to refine ride comfort, especially with FSD, where it aims to make every drive as smooth as possible. With the new Model 3 Performance, Tesla is introducing a new feature that allows for an even smoother ride while using FSD.
With the 2025.8 update, the vehicle will now automatically switch its suspension setting to Standard when FSD is enabled. This adjustment reduces road feel but improves ride comfort—a worthwhile trade-off while FSD is active.
The release notes state:
“Your vehicle will now automatically transition to Standard Ride & Handling when Autopilot is engaged for a more comfortable drive. This setting is enabled by default. To disable, tap Controls > Dynamics > Use Standard Ride & Handling in Autopilot.”
Dynamic Suspension
On the New Model 3 Performance, Tesla includes a dynamic, adaptive suspension system. While it isn’t an air-ride adjustable suspension like on the Model S, Model X, and the Cybertruck, it is an actively dampened suspension that improves the ride quality.
There are two settings for the dynamic suspension, which can be controlled from Controls > Dynamics > Ride & Handling.
Standard - Adjusts to a wide range of roads and driving styles, providing a fluid yet well controlled ride.
Sport - Provides a firmer, more controlled ride that increases driver engagement and connection to the road.
Many people prefer to drive on Sport as the road feel on the Model 3 Performance is fantastic, and even more so on a track.
FSD Will Use Standard Suspension
Tesla’s FSD aims to provide a comfortable trip from point A to point B, which means that connecting the driver with the road isn’t necessarily a goal here. Instead, as of software update 2025.8, FSD will now default to the Standard suspension setting instead of Sport. If you have Sport enabled, then FSD will switch to Standard when FSD is enabled and switch back to Sport when FSD is disengaged.
Many users will prefer using Standard when on FSD, but switching back and forth between suspension options isn’t feasible, so this is a great addition. However, if you prefer for the vehicle to remain in the Sport setting while FSD is enabled, you can turn off the “Use Standard Ride & Handling in Autopilot” in Controls > Dynamics.
Model S / Model X Setting
This feature for the new Model 3 Performance (2024+) is similar to the automatic ride height controls on the Model S and Model X. By default, these controls will automatically set the Suspension Damping option to Comfort when engaging Autopilot or FSD. Just like with this new setting for the Model 3, you can turn that off in Controls > Dynamics > Adaptive Suspension Damping in Autopilot.
We expect that when the new Model Y Performance is released in the coming months, it’ll also feature a similar setting.
If you’ve got a 3D printer or know a friend who does, this article is for you. We’ve gathered some of the best 3D-printed Tesla accessories and toys for Tesla owners.
We’ll feature some utilitarian accessories for your Tesla and then cover some fun items later. The links provided are all to Prusa’s Printables website and are safe to visit and download.
As a note, mostly everything should be printed in either ASA, PETG, or ABS unless you’re planning to use them indoors. PLA won’t withstand the heat in your vehicle and will warp and break. There are some places you can use PLA without a worry, though, so we’ve gone ahead and made recommendations for each item.
Car Charging
Not a Tesla App
First on our list is a wall-mounted cable organizer that also fits the NACS adapter right in. We recommend using any filament for an indoor mount, but if you’re mounting outdoors and exposed to the sun, ASA or PETG are better choices. Be sure to choose a high infill percentage to keep the organizer sturdy.
Next up is for folks who need to regularly get their cable outside through their garage door. This garage door cable protector keeps the cable from getting squished when the garage door closes.

There’s also this great holder for your J1772 adapter that lets it fit snugly in the door pocket. Tesla actually sells this product too, but you can just print your own instead.
Once again, use ASA or PETG due to sunlight and heat exposure.
Phone and Airpods Charging
Not a Tesla App
There are other accessories that could make charging your phone or wireless headphones easier. Most Teslas feature wireless phone chargers that fit most phones. However, if you’d like to charge your AirPods or a smaller phone, it may not work out so well. You can use these adapters to charge AirPods and Galaxy Buds.
There are even spacers for Tesla’s wireless charger to help position smaller phones in the correct spot. These may work okay in PLA if you don’t leave them exposed to the sun, but PETG is a better option.
Interior
Not a Tesla App
There are also plenty of functional utilities for the inside of your vehicle. The Model 3 and Model Y have large, open vents underneath the front seats to get conditioned air into the back. This vent cover adds a grate to the vents, preventing small things from falling side. It’s applicable for either the Model 3 (non-refresh) and the Model Y, also non-refresh. Any filament will do for this since it won’t be in direct sunlight.
If you need somewhere to hang some bags, here’s a bag hook for the Model Y. You’ll need a cargo shelf mount for this to attach to. Print it in PETG or ASA.
There’s also a variety of console trays to pick from. The author personally uses this center console tray with a J1772 slot, and this second one as the other console tray. If you’ve got a Model S or Model X instead, this console tray would work for you.
Tools & Etc.,
Not a Tesla App
One of the best tools for any owner with a hitch installed – a hitch tool. This tool makes it easy to open up the hitch cover. There are no recommendations on the filament here, but stronger is better.
Here’s another super tool if you don’t have one — a windshield washer fluid funnel. It can be difficult to fill up your washer fluid without spilling, so if you don’t already have a funnel, this could be a good option. You can print this in PLA and just leave it in the frunk, as even a little deformation won’t matter.

Wheels
Not a Tesla App
If you have Tesla’s Aero covers but don’t use them year-round, this is a nice accessory to hang them on the wall. There are also other accessories to cover up the Aero center cap and lug nuts when you do use them. You can print the hangers in PLA, but you’ll absolutely want the center caps and lug nuts in ASA or ABS.
Fun Stuff
Not a Tesla App
Ok, now on to all the fun stuff. There are a ton of different Tesla models to print. There’s an RC Cybertruck (best in ABS) and a Cybertruck model kit card (PLA). If you’re up for something in between, you can check out this model kit instead, which bridges the gap.
There’s also a lot more available on Printables (or your site of choice) than the ones we’ve highlighted here. This is just a small tidbit of some of the cool and unique stuff that’s available.
If you have some other awesome ideas or have designed something yourself, let us know on social media.
