Tesla is getting ready to release a major update to FSD Beta

Not a Tesla App

Elon Musk has provided additional details on Tesla's long-awaited FSD Beta v11. Unfortunately, the timeline is not as firm or straightforward as it may have appeared a week ago. As a result, many eagerly awaiting the latest FSD may be disappointed that the program is still not out, but the amount of testing could show how advanced the update will be.

Twitter user @WholeMarsBlog posted a video of a drive using version FSD Beta 10.69.25.2, which has received one million views and shows the system working flawlessly without any driver input. In response to the tweet, Musk said:

"FSD 11.3 is close to limited release. Just drove it through SF & LA yesterday. Probably 11.3.2 is able to go wide."

Tesla Testing in Phases

There is a lot to unpack in those 114 characters. They confirm that v11.3 will go to employees, as per usual protocol. Then it will likely go to a small group of testers, possibly the original couple of thousand, not the more than 400,000 drivers who have or subscribe to FSD.

The next clue is that the version that will be going to everyone is .2, not .1. This would indicate V11.3 will gather data from a small group of testers to make any adjustments, and then 11.3.1 will go out to a slightly wider audience. Only after all those bugs are fixed, and the Tesla team is satisfied will 11.3.2 be released to the masses.

Major Roll Outs Have Been Staggered

If history repeats itself, we could be looking at about a month before V11.3 rolls out to most testers. For example, when FSD Beta v10.12 was being tested, subsequent updates were issued a few days to a week after the last release. Still, it took almost a month from when the first version was released to testers to when the majority of testers received the wide-release beta, which was FSD Beta v10.12.2.

@WholeMarsBlog, a long-time FSD tester, added more context in a tweet: "At first, FSD Beta V11 may be worse and less stable in many ways, but as it matures, it will enable much better driving than was ever possible in V10. Tesla will first release to all Tesla employees. It will stay with Tesla employees for at least 24 hours — currently, only a small group of employees have it. If no major issues are discovered at that point, it will go to a few customers."

Twitter user @amyserwinowski summed it up best with this tweet: "I think V10 is pretty good. They should not rush V11 out."

We've already seen the release notes for FSD Beta V11 that was released to some employees back in November 2022, but there may be even more included in V11.3. We hope to see the first sightings and release notes for FSD Beta V11.3 this weekend or early next week.

Norway Approves Tesla’s FSD Testing on Public Roads; Potential for Europe-Wide Deployment

April 26, 2025

According to filings found by Kees Roelandschap on X, Tesla has obtained a 2-year exemption from UNECE autonomy regulations to run FSD Supervised on public roads in Norway. This marks one of the first positive developments for regulations and autonomy in Europe — great news for European customers.

Previously, European transportation agencies stressed additional caution and requested more time to legislate, further delaying the widespread UNECE regulation changes for autonomous vehicles.

Norwegian FSD - Employees Only

Following the recent approval from the Norwegian Road Authority, Tesla will be permitted to use its Supervised vehicles on public roads in a testing capacity. This exemption does not yet apply to customers, so we will have to wait and see how testing progresses.

Tesla will specifically be allowed to run FSD V13 and its derivative builds (meaning AI4 vehicles only) with automated steering and speed controls on EU-registered and approved vehicles.

Tesla will also be required to have Tesla-trained drivers (employees) conduct the testing. There is no specific policy in place that enables the use of FSD for customers at this time. However, as testing is conducted and bureaucratic hurdles are overcome across various transportation departments, Tesla may be able to extend the offer to European customers. According to Tesla’s latest earnings call, the company still plans to release FSD in Europe by the end of the year.

Tesla has already begun testing in the Netherlands, showing off FSD’s capabilities in Amsterdam.

Article 39 Exemption

The UNECE can grant exemptions for innovative technologies that move faster than legislation under Article 39. However, Tesla requires the backing of a national ministry of transport to bring this to the UNECE’s attention. The next round of voting on critical issues is expected on May 12, 2025, which may not leave Tesla much time to present its findings to UNECE.

We don’t expect Tesla to receive authorization immediately. It may take several weeks or months of testing from the Netherlands or Norway teams before one of the two countries is willing to support Tesla’s exemption bid.

However, if Tesla achieves an Article 39 exemption, it could allow Tesla to roll out FSD to customers across Europe, provided there are no country-level exemptions.

Following customer requests, Tesla has once again returned FSD Transfers for North America. This comes after some new details we received on FSD Supervised and Unsupervised at the recent Q1 2025 Earnings Call.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei … FSD Transfer is back

All countries (in NA), all S3XY + @cybertruck (excl Foundation Series & Launch Series)

FSD Transfers

This latest round of FSD transfers doesn’t have a specific time limit - so if you’re in the market for a new vehicle and were worried about transferring FSD from a HW3 vehicle - now is the best chance.

This transfer opportunity is applicable for any new vehicle purchases, including the Model S, 3, X, Y, as well as the Cybertruck. The only vehicles it doesn’t apply to are the Foundation-Series Cybertruck or a Launch-Series Model Y, which already come with FSD included.

If you’re conducting an FSD transfer, you’ll need to reach out to your Tesla delivery coordinator through the Tesla app to confirm you’re eligible and to get the process started.

Note that once you take delivery, FSD access is removed from your older vehicle, regardless if you plan to trade in your vehicle or keep it.

Canada and Mexico

For those in Canada and Mexico, there’s some good news. This opportunity is available for customers in those countries as well, however, new vehicle orders are currently paused in Canada and Mexico for unknown reasons.
