Tesla house owners suggest fascinating principle about Apple CarPlay and EV tax credit score

Tesla began rolling out its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.1.7 suite final night time to house owners, and there are a number of enhancements to notice throughout the new replace which are no less than the beginning of fixes to highly-mentioned points.

On an hour-long drive, we examined v14.1.7 and examined its new capabilities, that are principally general efficiency and smoothness fixes relatively than integrations of recent options which are unknown to routine FSD customers. Nonetheless, there are a handful of shortcomings which are nonetheless current throughout the suite, which aren’t one thing that will probably be mounted throughout the span of a single replace.

For what it’s, Full Self-Driving does a wonderful job of navigating — when you get it on its appropriate path. Our points are typically confined to navigation, routing, and the decision-making course of that has to do with the way in which the automobile needs to get you to your vacation spot. There have been 5 issues that occurred on our first drive with v14.1.7 which are price mentioning. The complete drive will probably be accessible on the backside of this text.

Navigation and Routing Nonetheless Appears to Be a Main Problem

In previous content material, we’ve mentioned the problems with routing and navigation, and the way a Tesla chooses its path. Most noticeably, these points happen in the identical areas; for me, it’s my native Supercharger. My 2026 Mannequin Y with AI4 continues to choose less-than-optimal routes out of the Supercharger, and on this occasion, it really selected to show down a highway, pull over, and provides me the wheel, primarily asking, “Hey, are you able to get me heading in the right direction right here?”

That is nonetheless my largest bone to choose with FSD, much more so than a few of the bonehead strikes it’s made in more durable situations (principally parking heaps with very restricted visibility as a consequence of shrubs being planted within the worst doable places). It’s uncommon that it occurs, however this explicit Supercharger has been a real thorn within the facet of my Tesla.

This isn’t a problem that’s confined to v14.1.7, and even v14 on the whole. Sadly, it is a matter that has continued all through my possession expertise, in addition to throughout Demo Drives.

Nonetheless coping with this Navigation/Routing problem. FSD nonetheless hasn’t discovered find out how to exit this Supercharger.

Stuttering and Hesitation at Intersections was Non-Existent

There was some confusion relating to my language in a latest article the place I said Tesla is confronting the problems which were reported relating to the “stabbing” with braking.

“Tesla started the v14.1.4 launch final night time, which included minor enhancements and addressed brake-stabbing points many homeowners have reported. In my private expertise, the stabbing has been terrible on v14.1.3, and is a serious concern.

Nonetheless, many issues have improvedand solely a few minor points have been recurring. Most of the points v13 addressed are not a problem, so Tesla has made important progress.”
It has undoubtedly improved, however it’s not resolved.

With that being stated, I didn’t really feel a single instance of hesitation, stabbing, or stuttering at a single intersection or occasion when it has been current previously. CEO Elon Musk stated it could be mounted with v14.2, so it looks as if Tesla is properly on its method to resolving it.

Correct Dealing with of Crosswalks

It’s loopy how many individuals nonetheless don’t cease for pedestrians at clearly-marked crosswalks. I had two cases of it occur throughout the drive, with FSD stopping for these pedestrians each occasions.

Human drivers didn’t cease both time:

Dealt with Merging onto a Freeway with an Thoughtless Driver Nicely

Routinely, drivers will recover from into the left lane, if they’re in a position, to permit merging visitors to soundly enter the freeway. It doesn’t all the time occur this fashion, and it’s not required by regulation.

Not unique to v14.1.7, as many previous iterations would have carried out this as properly, but it surely was good to look at the car decelerate to let that visitors go. It then entered the freeway safely, and all the maneuver was properly carried out.

Took an Acceptable Transfer with Oncoming Foot Visitors and Particles in a Tight Alleyway

This was most likely essentially the most on-edge I used to be throughout the drive as a result of: 1) FSD selected to take an pointless alleyway, and a pair of) there was a field and oncoming pedestrians.

The automobile was conscious of the whole lot that was occurring. With the intention to keep away from the field, it could have needed to flip towards the pedestrians, and as a way to keep away from the pedestrians, it could have needed to flip into the field.

It selected to attend patiently, and after the pedestrians had been previous the automobile, FSD selected to proceed.

A affected person FSD debates pedestrians and particles.
It chooses to not flip towards the people or the field, as a substitute ready for a transparent path to proceed. EXCELLENT and my favourite a part of the drive pic.twitter.com/JNVxuxkhmn

Closing Ideas

Total, we’re very impressed with v14.1.7, and we predict that is Tesla’s finest iteration of the FSD suite but, appropriately because it’s the latest model accessible. Tesla’s consideration to element relating to the brake stabbing is very well carried out, and it appears evident {that a} full repair is on its means.

Aside from the navigation problem on the very starting, which was not an intervention, no less than in my view, this was a extremely profitable drive.
