FSD Beta v11 (part of 2022.40.5)
Elon has stated V11 rolled out at 11:11 on 11/11.
The release notes as we understand them are addressing some of the points we've highlighted before. Single Stack is here, which may well also support some of the feature changes such as Ultrasonic sensors being replaced by Tesla Vision. We're also hopeful phantom braking will be a thing of the past, and regular autopilot will be much more stable. We're yet to see if there are any changes to max speeds, distance setting to the car in front or other restrictions. The predicted notes:
- Enabled FSD Beta on highway. This unifies the vision and planning stack on and off-highway and replaces the legacy highway stack, which is over four years old. The legacy highway stack still relies on several single-camera and single-frame networks, and was setup to handle simple lane-specific maneuvers. FSD Beta's multi-camera video networks and next-gen planner, that allows for more complex agent interactions with less reliance on lanes, make way for adding more intelligent behaviors, smoother control and better decision making.
- Improved Occupancy Network's recall for close by obstacles and precision in severe weather conditions with 4x increase in transformer spatial resolution, 20% increase in image featurizer capacity, improved side camera calibration, and 260k more video training clips (real-world and simulation).
- Reduced the predicted velocity error of very close-by motorcycles, scooters, wheelchairs, and pedestrians by 63.6%. To do this, we introduced a new dataset of simulated adversarial high speed VRU interactions. This update improves autopilot control around fast-moving and cutting-in VRUs.
- Improved creeping profile with higher jerk when creeping starts and ends.
- Improved control for nearby obstacles by predicting continuous distance to static geometry with the general static obstacle network.
- Reduced vehicle "parked" attribute error rate by 17%, achieved by increasing the dataset size by 14%. Also improved brake light accuracy.
- Improved clear-to-go scenario velocity error by 5% and highway scenario velocity error by 10%, achieved by tuning loss function targeted at improving performance in difficult scenarios.
- Improved detection and control for open car doors.
- Improved smoothness through turns by using an optimization-based approach to decide which road lines are irrelevant for calculating given lateral and longitudinal acceleration and jerk limits as we calculate vehicle kinematics.
- Improved stability of the FSD UI visualizations by optimizing ethernet data transfer pipeline by 15%.
- Improved recall for vehicles directly behind self, and improved precision for vehicle detection network.
It is also worth noting the changes in FSD Beta v10.69.3 which will have also been incorporated but with few cars receiving the update, it may have been overlooked.
While the release is now appearing, it may well be limited to Tesla staff cars and some hand picked others for a period of time.

FSD Beta v10.69.3.2 (part of 2022.40.4.5)
Currently 2022.40.4.5 is on a limited circulation but is expected to include the next iteration of FSDb v10. We're not as convinced as others as other cars have moved on to 2022.44.x now and that is likely to be the beta release. We're also expected FSDb v11 which we've been promised, and hopefully will not take much longer to be publically released as a result. Musk suggested the V11 release will be around Thanksgiving, even allowing for a slip, the end of the year could still be achievable.
One consequence of this release seems to be the removal of the ability to send a snapshot following an event which means reporting problems is not possible. With FSDb now widely available to everyone in the Americas, there would simply be too much reporting of minor issues.
No release notes are yet available, but to be honest, while they cover the specific tweaks, the real test is on the road.
Bugfix (part of 2022.40.4.2)
Bugfix. A 2022.40.4.2 release has now been seen, following in from a 2022.40.4.1 release which has been around for nearly 2 weeks. We suspect this is another very minor variant/bug fix to 2022.40.4

FSD Beta v10.69.3.3 (part of 2022.40.4.10)
Musk suggested the V11 release will be before year end however it looks like this will be the year end FSDb release.
One consequence of this release seems to be the removal of the ability to send a snapshot following an event which means reporting problems is not possible. With FSDb now widely available to everyone in the Americas, there would simply be too much reporting of minor issues.
The release notes are no different to those we’ve recently seen, this release is just an update to it’s performance
Bugfix (part of 2022.40.4.1)
Bugfix. A 2022.40.4.1 release has now been seen, we suspect this is a very minor variant/bug fix to 2022.40.4

Sentry Mode and Dog mode (part of 2022.40.1)
Your vehicle and pets can be kept safe by activating Dog Mode and Sentry Mode at the same time. Sentry Mode alarms are silenced if Dog Mode and Sentry Mode are both enabled. Mobile app notifications will still be sent and video footage will still be saved.
Improved Charging Efficiency (part of 2022.40.1)
During DC fast charging, the thermal system controls have been optimized for each charging stations power capability, improving both charging and on-route battery preconditioning efficiency. This results in faster charge times and reduced energy costs.
This change was actually first reported as an undocumented extra in 2022.36. The release notes now formalise the change.

Tire Configuration (part of 2022.40.1)
Reset the learned tire settings directly after a tire rotation, swap, or replacement for an improved driving experience. To reset, tap Controls > Service > Wheel & Tire Configuration > Tires.
This is a country specific update with the feature first announced in 2022.24. A common pattern with Tesla is to release a feature in a number of countries in one release, and then to release the same capability in other countries over subsequent releases.
Daytime Running Lights (part of 2022.40.1)
In some countries, the Daytime running lights are now reported to include the rear lights, not just the front. While lighting is generally a legislative requirement, we feel this is a welcome improvement.
Regenerative Braking (part of 2022.40.1)
Your vehicle can now automatically apply regular brakes for consistent deceleration when regenerative braking is limited due to battery temperature or state of charge. To enable, tap Controls > Pedals & Steering > Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking Is Limited.
Under Extras, we show the new icon that shows when this is active.
This has been talked about before in previous releases, when features are announced in multiple releases over time it usually means it’s being applied to more models and/or more countries.
Language (part of 2022.40.1)
Your navigation voice guidance is now available in Hebrew. To switch your language setting, tap Controls > Display > Voice Navigation Language.
Sentry Mode Live Camera Access (part of 2022.40.1)
You can now view your car's surroundings from the Tesla app when parked to confirm the safety of your environment before returning to your car. Live Camera is end-to-end encrypted and cannot be accessed by Tesla. To enable or disable, tap Controls > Safety > 'View Live Camera via Mobile App' from the vehicle touchscreen display. Note: This feature requires mobile app version 4.2.1 or higher, and Premium Connectivity. This feature is not intended for use to capture private domains or record third parties. By using the live camera, you agree that you are solely responsible for any claims from a third party.
Supercharger Additional Details (part of 2022.40.1)
The redesigned Supercharger map pop-up will now display historical site occupancy in addition to the associated charging fees when available. To view these details, tap on any Supercharger pin that is in the vicinity of your vehicle.
Pricing information can still only be seen from the car. To find supercharger locations on the app, look at the cars current position and then zoom out. In countries where 3rd parties are allowed to use supercharges, pricing can be found on that section of the app, but only for superchargers which are part of the scheme.
This is another subject which has been previously mentioned and is simply being rolled out to more countries and/or models.
Dashcam Viewer (part of 2022.40.1)
In certain countries, the dashcam viewer has been removed for legislative reasons.
Initially this is thought to only be Hong Kong and China
Bugs Introduced in release (part of 2022.40.1)
The following may be hardware or country specific
- Keys. There seem to be an unusual number of key issues following the update, maybe linked to changes in the Drivers door unlock feature. We suggest checking all keys after the update and doing both a reboot and config reset as explained here.
- Ryzen screen seem to lock up. This had primarily been reported on later MY cars although we would assume it will apply to the M3 with Ryzen screens as well. The roll out of release 2022.40.1 seems to have been halted as a result. May be fixed in the .4 release
- Disney+ playback appears broken. You can select a programme to watch, but the resulting screen is blank. Fixed in 2022.40.4.1
- Car image does not appear when you first get in the car, it only appears after you drive (primarily 2021+ MS and MX)
- Various gremlins such as windows not closing correctly, cameras and autopilot failing to respond etc. Most of these can be fixed with a reboot and configuration reset as mentioned above
Extras (part of 2022.40.1)
- Boom box has been enabled in more countries, this is a feture that tends to be heavily regulated, especially when cars are moving and in general these features are only enabled when the car is in park
- Limited regenerative braking icon now appears when the situation occurs.
- Vision parking sensors for cars without USS/parking sensors is now said to be available, although we are still waiting for evidence. This uses the camera suite to understand where surrounding items are and report their distance from the car. We are yet to see how reliable this is when the objects disappear from camera view, or when the camera is obscured, a frequent issue especially with the rear camera in wet and muddy conditions. This may only be available from .5 as part of the FSDb 11 update and single stack integration.
- Steering wheel holding detection has been tightened to reduce the effectiveness of cheat devices. It’s unclear if this is via the internal camera or an assessment of how uniform the steering wheel turn pressure is, but a welcome improvement to deter abuse
- Auto High beam operation has been improved. While the "on" can still be slow to react at times, the "off" is now pretty good, although can be fooled by reflections from road signs.
- Rate your charging session has been enabled on the latest app version for selected supercharger locations. Thought to primarily be the shared sites where non Teslas can charge, Tesla are capturing feedback which will hopefully influence future decision making.
- Phone calls You can now transfer a call to the car if you’re mid call when you reach and get in the car.
User guides (part of 2022.40.1)
The Tesla Guides or Manuals have been updated although the changes seem to be relatively cosmetic. The link above takes you to a list for each model. Changes noticed include:
- Advice that the brake pedal makes no difference to the reboot. It might however be useful to stop the car rolling away.
- Adds details of the new driver door unlock mode and car left open notifications
- Adds details for calibrating the seats
- The Park Button on the drive mode strip (2021+ MS and MX) is now visible at all times and can be used as an emergency brake
- Details of the limited regen Icon
- If dog and sentry are enabled at the same time, Disable Sentry Sounds activates automatically
- Cabin overheat now has the option to only run the fan or the full A/C when activated
In App Release notes (part of 2022.40.1)
From car version 2022.40 and mobile app 4.15.0, Tesla now show the release notes in the app.

EU Map Update EU-2022.40-14215 (part of 2022.40)
A new European map has been released, also with a 2022.40 version as it follows the approximate year.week numbering convention.
The map however seems to have a problem with missing speed limits on some major roads which are causing issues with Autopilot enablement.

Reboot after an update
Lot's of people have random issues after a software install, many of them curing themselves after a reboot. As a general rule, we'd suggest always doing a scroll wheel reboot after a software update, simply press the two steering wheel scroll wheels until the screen turns off and then let go. The screen will come back within a minute or so, depending on hardware. It's certainly worth doing this is you notice any unusual behaviour, but prevention is better than cure. There's a second reset option which is to change the car configuration slightly, either the language, or wheel type. This also causes the car to do a soft reset and this has returned missing features such as Tidal. Our Guide to rebooting your Tesla provides more details.
How to get the latest Tesla Software Update?
In a word, you can't really force it yourself although you can help the car to download the update once it's been allocated to have an update. To do so, connect the car to WiFi, and maybe even consider a wireless hotspot when in use. Car's not connected to WiFi generally do not receive updates quickly.
If you visit the software screen and see the car hasn't checked for a few days, perform a scroll wheel reset. The car typically checks as soon as it reboots and we've had a software update immediately afterwards as a result.
You may find the car sticks at 50% for a while. We've seen reports that keeping the car awake will help speed past past this point as the car will try and sleep and halt the process. Even keeping the mobile phone app open may help to prevent the car sleeping.
Why do I not get some of the features or changes mentioned?
There are a number of reasons why a particular feature or change may not be included when your car upgrades. These include regional restrictions, hardware specific features, model specific updates and some changes are linked to software options purchased such as EAP or FSD. There are also times when software release notes are provided but only Tesla test engineers get the updates.
Not having a listed feature or update for a particular car is therefore quite normal. Some websites try to detail which cars get which features but this is often inaccurate, such as the blended braking update that came out with 2022.16 and the alternate routes option in 2022.28.
Against each release note we now list the car models and countries where a particular release note has been seen.
I thought I already had a listed feature?
Just as a feature may not land in every car, the feature may be mentioned in later releases when your car already has it. The release notes in the car are tuned to your car so, and while in general the car will only report a new feature once, that is not a rule that always holds true. Some websites say the feature is not available in your country whereas the reality is the feature has been there for some time
I'm on the FSD City Streets Beta
The FSD City Streets Beta is usually 2 to 3 releases behind the general software releases. This is normal.
Numbering convention
Release notes are numbered roughly using the a year.family.major.minor format. The year is self explanatory, the family release typically increments in 4's and is roughly the week of the year when the release family is launched, although these tend to slip over the course of the year. The major and minor release numbers of much debated, we personally believe these rarely contain new features not included in the family, and if there are differences it is linked to hardware specific versions.
When reviewing release notes, you may be interested in how a feature has evolved. To enable this we have also included a keyword search where you can search for a word or phrase and we will filter the results accordingly.
