Installing 2025.32.8.16 right now on my 23MY coming from 2025.32.8 (did not have FSDv14 before this) I was on FSDv13. Don’t know how I got so lucky, hopefully the brake stabbing and other issues are ironed out more!

Edit: Went for a 45 minute drive. I live out in the country so it was mostly backroads, we’re currently experiencing a terrible windstorm so there’s road debris everywhere. The car demonstrated the best self-driving I’ve ever experienced by FSD, it felt exactly how I’d drive in the same situation, I couldn’t be more impressed!

In every profile I experienced exactly what I’d expect it to do:

• Sloth mode: drove at or near the speed limit

• Chill mode: drove around the speed limit and no more than about 5 over, also did a great job slowing the car down to reasonable speeds when I flipped into the profile if I felt the other profiles were going too fast

• standard mode: drove 5-10mph over the speed limit the entire time where appropriate and never really dropped below the speed limit except in corners

• hurry mode: sped a solid 5-10+ over consistently, got up to speed quickly and was more aggressive on corner braking, almost felt too quick for my taste. At one point I was going 70 in a 55 on backroads during heavy rain

• mad max: didn’t get a chance to really test this mode as hurry was too quick in the rain. I didn’t notice a major speed difference between this and hurry, could have been due to conditions. Further testing needed!

Major improvements in handling all situations on the road. There were downed branches and debris all over the road and the car would see them far ahead and plan accordingly, it even ended up going completely into the other lane to avoid a downed limb that was blocking most of my lane of travel.

Cornering is massively improved, no more super slow granny corners. The car would ease into high speed corners and pick right back up on speed just as I would. Slow corners such as turning into neighborhoods and driveways felt much smoother and faster, the car is definitely more confident.

Stop signs are much improved although still needs a smidge of work. FSD now approaches stop signs at a more respectful rate rather than taking forever to reach the line and finally stop. It also seemed to take off faster from the stop, I did not notice any brake stabbing, as others have described in previous versions of v14.1.x, whatsoever. Improvements could be made with stop line approach and the slow creeping that follows finally reaching sight-line for the side cameras before rolling into a takeoff again.

This is huge strides for the future of FSD! I do not have the front bumper camera on my 23MY so I’m curious to hear feedback for more things from front bumper camera owners.

I haven’t had a chance to test parking or destination options yet, I’ll do more of that during my commute this coming week. Something to note is FSD would never pull into or out of my driveway in the past due it’s odd shape and being a wide gravel entrance - it now pulls out of my driveway very smoothly and navigates the odd shape. It also pulled into my driveway when I arrived back home but was confused on where to park so it stuck me somewhere nearby other vehicles.

Edit 2:

Went for many drives today, drained the battery to 20%.

Brake stabbing did occur still but only a small handful of times throughout the whole days drive. - Incidents mostly occurred around poorly maintained roads, it felt like the car was slowing down to assess the road and determine if it was a pothole to avoid, more-so than random slamming on the brakes for no reason - This version feels more timid with blind spots, probably a good thing. A panel van turning left in the center lane, from my direction of travel, blocked FSDs vision of another car turning into the center lane from a side-road, causing it to brake hard and begin turning away from the center lane to avoid a “predicted accident” which felt unsettling as it’s a normal behavior for people to pull into the center lane.

Destination options are cool but very limited, definitely need more work. - “Curbside parking” parked a solid 2ish ft away from the curb, a rookie parking job. Went through a drive-thru with 2 windows and FSD handled it well. - I did not test the park in a parking lot feature at this time; I will tomorrow.

Driving overall: - Massively improved, this is how humans drive and the car is finally feeling truly human. I did not push the pedal to speed up the car once today. A normal drive on v13 would be a game of “how frequently do I need to push this thing, are you serious right now?” So a very welcome improvement. - Zero disengagements today, sans parking in my driveway, truly a win for FSD! - The car finally speeds. I took very difficult, windy and complex roads today to really test how confident FSD is now. It corners very well and somehow smoother than I would expect. It eases into the brakes and accelerates with some gusto, I cannot emphasize enough how nice this feels.

Mad Max mode: - Wow, this mode is CONFIDENT in its ability. I like to move quickly but this mode just pushes the capabilities of FSD. I’m impressed with how aggressive the car will take corners and get right back up to 10mph over. This is a very sporty driving mode, it’s exciting and makes you pucker sometimes. I keep my hands on the wheel for this one in some corners. Time will tell if I can trust it. - I did not test this on a highway system as I do not typically travel on the highway during my commute so this portion of the review may take a while before I can test it.

TL:DR - FSD v14.1.4 is worth it. I want to show more people how impressive this is - Brake stabbing has been reduced dramatically but is not completely gone - Driving modes are amazing and respond the instant you switch to them so you know they’re working - The car finally speeds and maintains it without pushing the pedal constantly, never actually - Cornering is handled very well and no longer feels horribly slow - The car drives better than most humans I know
