FSD v14.2.2.3 + Update 2025.45.8 released

[pae1andonly]

Asked Grok to compare https://stats.tessie.com/versions/2025.45.8 to https://stats.tessie.com/versions/2025.45.7


Comparison of Tesla software versions 2025.45.7 and 2025.45.8 (based on release notes and data from Tessie stats and other Tesla tracking sources):

Release Timeline

• 2025.45.7 → Released December 29, 2025 (about two weeks ago as of today)
• 2025.45.8 → Released today, January 13, 2026 (very fresh rollout, just starting to deploy)

Core FSD (Supervised) Version

• 2025.45.7 → Includes FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.2
• 2025.45.8 → Includes FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.3 (minor patch increment)

The main FSD improvements (upgraded neural network vision encoder for better emergency vehicle/obstacle/gesture handling, Arrival Options with persisted preferences, Speed Profiles like SLOTH and MAD MAX, improved handling of gates/debris/turns/cut-ins/school buses, enhanced fault recovery, and camera residue alerting) are essentially identical in description across both versions.

Key Differences

2025.45.8 appears to be a small bug-fix/hotfix release over 2025.45.7, with the same broad feature set and release notes structure. The official notes are very similar (or in many cases copy-pasted), which is common for minor .x increments in Tesla's versioning.


However, several sources (including NotATeslaApp tracking) point to these undocumented or minor changes/improvements in 2025.45.8:

• New Wheel Options (likely cosmetic or compatibility updates)
• Express Lanes support (possibly navigation/routing enhancements)
• Supercharger Live Maps now show exact vehicle models at stalls
• Dashcam Viewer Zoom support
• Camera Visibility Warning improvements (refinements to the residue/alert system)
• V4 Supercharger Visualization enhancements
• Wrap & License Plate Icons (likely for Paint Shop/avatar customization)

These are not listed in the main release notes but appear as observed/undocumented changes in community trackers. No major new features (like the big additions in the 2025.45 branch: Grok Navigation Commands, Tesla Photobooth, Dog Mode iOS Live Activity, Santa Mode extras, Jingle Rush Light Show, HOV routing, SpaceX Docking Simulator, etc.) were added between .7 and .8 — those debuted earlier in the 2025.45 series.

Adoption & Stats (from Tessie and fleet trackers)

• 2025.45.7 reached wider deployment (~15-18% fleet share in recent data)
• 2025.45.8 is brand new (0% fleet share so far, rollout just started today)

In short: 2025.45.8 is a minor iterative update (bug fixes + small refinements, especially around Supercharging visualization, dashcam usability, and camera alerts) on top of the substantial FSD and holiday/feature package introduced in 2025.45.7. If you're on .7, the jump to .8 should feel like a polish release rather than anything revolutionary.


If you have a specific vehicle or feature you're curious about (e.g., FSD behavior differences), let me know — early reports from owners on forums are still coming in today!

FSD v14.2.2.3!

I hope it fixes the set speed profile on FSD. It got really bad this update. My CT will not hold the speed. I'm on standard, I want to stay at 7 mph over the speed limit. I accelerate to the speed I want, release the pedal and it immediate slows to 2-3 over the speed limit. I must do it 20 times a trip to try to get it to learn. But it always slows back down. If I switch to Hurry, it insists on going 15 over the speed limit, which I don't want.

Model S here. Exact same problem. Awful for cross country backroad trips.

I’m curious about the destination parking options. At one point I could select Driveway or Garage or something for Home, but that seems to have disappeared in 2025.45.7, only Curbside or Parking Lot offered.

Not seen yet, but for Home I’d like to be able to set nose-in vs back-in so that my charging cord will reach. It has randomly done either, with the wrong one (back in) most often.

I still get charger at home, but maybe once ever 10 times I do not.

This is a bug fix update, so there won't be new options, but hopefully these current options are more reliable.

I would like to select nose or back in at a destination. When arriving at Costco on Saturday morning- with cars behind the truck it is almost impossible to back in - heading into a spot nose in is easier and takes less space and avoids a car on my rear bumper in a parking lot.

I second that.
Also, I like to have my tailgate available to load up items into the bed. So I want to park nose-first at Costco.

like a kid on Christmas Eve, always excited for the next update and hope it's better than last update.

Where is mine?

But actually 14.2.2.2 has been fine, though oddly today it signaled and pulled over to the shoulder twice in a couple of minutes, so I manually drove the end of the trip (less than a mile). I thought maybe it was hallucinating an emergency vehicle. But then I got the dirty windshield warning. Was it asking me to stop and clean the windshield? The washer/wiper fixed that fine while driving.

My 14.2.2.2 was really bad this week driving from Jax to Palm Beach. Every lane change hesitated. Many times ran up to vehicle in front slowed down put blinker on just sat. Empty lane was seemingly where it has problems. In heavier traffic would change. Had to take over so many times lost count. Was much better for me on previous version with a trip to Tampa and back.
