Tesla began a public FSD (Supervised) v14.1 rollout in October 2025. Early testers — including Tesery’s original first-drive — talked up smoother behavior and features that felt closer to a ride-hail stack. That is owner software with a supervisor, not the Austin Robotaxi service.
Key facts
- What shipped: v14.1 as the first widely discussed public v14 drop, first through Early Access then broader.
- What testers claimed: Better accuracy and “Robotaxi-like” comfort. Those are impressions, not Tesla’s Robotaxi geofence.
- Legal status: Supervised. The driver remains responsible.
- Later builds: Point releases such as v14.1.7 and v14.2.
Do not confuse v14.1 with Austin Robotaxi
Robotaxi launched as an invite-only Austin service on June 22, 2025 in geofenced Model Ys. v14.1 is what owners run on public roads with Tesla’s usual supervision rules. Same company, different product and liability story. Official Robotaxi page: tesla.com/robotaxi.
FAQ
Did v14.1 make FSD unsupervised?
No.
Is a first-drive enough to buy FSD?
No. Use your roads and Tesla’s current subscription/purchase price.
If you run FSD, you still supervise every mile.
