Tesla FSD Beta 11.4.7.1 Released to Employees With a Massive Amount of New Features
Tesla has released FSD Beta 11.4.7.1 to Tesla employees for internal testing. Although there are improvements to FSD Beta in the update, the big news is that this update comes in as version 2023.27.5, which means that it includes a massive number of features that have so far been missing in Tesla's FSD Beta.
Many owners are on Tesla's latest public FSD Beta v11.4.7 (update 2023.7.30), which includes non-FSD features up through update 2023.6. With this latest beta, Tesla includes features from three major updates, including update 2023.12, 2023.20 and 2023.26.
This amounts to a monumental release that includes over 50 new features across Tesla's models. Some of the features include the ability to customizable the scroll wheel, the new Spotify interface, support for Bluetooth game controllers, and Tesla's Charge on Solar feature. But there's so much more.
Below, we'll go through all of new, non-FSD features that are included in this massive release.
