Took FSD v14.3.6 out for a couple drives last night. Here are my initial thoughts/review: Tesla has been on a roll lately releasing so many updates. Yesterday, I downloaded FSD v14.3.6 and after some driving with it, it includes some nice changes First off, Hurry speed profile rips! It feels close to Mad Max with passing, acceleration, and speed but nothing excessive. Was actually quite impressed and it’s my favorite profile now. Standard felt similar to before, but definitely significantly more chill than hurry. Mad Max doesn’t feel much quicker than hurry now in a good way, this profile feels pretty dialed. The turn lane twitch is unfortunately back for me on my first drive just like v14.3.4 had, was pretty much resolved in v14.3.5. It’s only at one of them with a really wide gap between turn lane and the straight lanes and it was indecisive today. Standard mode seems similar to before, but the gap between hurry/standard is bigger since hurry felt more assertive, quicker, and stronger acceleration so standard could feel slower. Creeping was less assertive in standard than hurry as expected. Parking was excellent at the store tonight. Super quick spot selection and right in front, perfectly straight. It was a diagonal/slanted spot too- very impressed. Street parking at home was not as close to the curb as I’d like, had to readjust it. Sometimes it’ll back up and get closer but tonight it didn’t. The nag (driver monitoring system) is SO relaxed. It makes using FSD feel so much better and it keeps improving. Feels slightly more relaxed than v14.3.5 but need more drives to confirm. Overall, nice point update that also brought a new update for FSD v14 lite on AI3 cars too. The rate in which Tesla is rolling out software releases is insanely good, I thought this was just going to be a big fix change but the hurry mode behavior was immediately noticeable. Great see they are using the same OS numbers and unifying that. I’ll get a lot more driving in today and this week, but overall happy with what I’ve seen. Thanks @Tesla_AI for another great update.
