200 miles and 48 hours with FSD v14.3.4, here are more of my thoughts/review:
It’s a fantastic build- the step forward in this build is extremely noticeable.
UI changes- these are fantastic! Like I said before these bring a more Robotaxi-like experience and love the additional detail and selection. When approaching a destination it tells me how it’ll park which is good because when I go home I switch between either driveway or street. New waypoint option is way easier and better to use. These are all great additions from the UI team, to those who added these, bravo!
Highway performance- this version is excellent on the highway. Mad Max is so dialed in now and definitely got awoken again, but it’s not overly aggressive and all its lane changes are well thought out. v14.3.4 handles motorcycles lane splitting extremely well, gives them tons of room which they appreciate.
Parking- definitely have seen an improvement in parking with this build, a few things stand out here. It seems to be finding spots in lots a bit quicker and not looping as much as before. The other thing I’ve noticed is it doesn’t back up or pull in as far as v14.3.3 did, always a couple inches less than before. I now realize this is a good thing as some said previous build went too far. Also, the “Pull Over” option has been great- pulling up at better/smarter locations than the previous curbside option. Didn’t expect a change there besides the name, but seems there is.
Navigation- I feel like there’s been some tweaks to how it handles some routes. I’ve seen a change or two to my normal driving routes, especially in this one parking lot it would always take a different way for at least a year or two now and now it takes the shorter (and much better!!) way. Saw a couple others mention they may have seen a change, and I think I do as well- very promising to see.
The nag- I see most people saying theirs feels relaxed, mine does at times too but at other times way more sensitive than before. Very quick to turn off “hands free” so hoping it gets more relaxed.
Standard speed profile seems a bit more assertive than before which is awesome! It won’t sit behind people for too long, and it gets around them. It’s the perfect balance of not staying behind slow traffic without too many lane changes.
The streak feature is good too, love the new confetti I saw at 100 miles. Currently at 160 mile streak on FSD, which is almost all of my driving in the Y since the update, the other miles I did in my ‘25 3 so far. This update is also not too sensitive around pedestrians and gives them room and not overly sensitive.
I’ve seen so many people online talk very highly of this update and I agree. Haven’t had a disengagement yet and it’s phenomenal.
Overall, this update rocks. Keeps impressing me each drive. Well done
@Tesla_AI, y’all are the best!
