1:14Older Model S and Model X finally get FSD v14 Lite, but without parking features
Tesla has started rolling out FSD v14.3 Lite to legacy Model S and Model X with the older Intel computer. Here is what these owners get, and what is still missing.
The oldest Teslas that can run FSD have waited the longest. On October 14, Tesla started rolling out FSD (Supervised) v14.3 Lite to legacy Model S and Model X with Hardware 3 and the older Intel Atom infotainment processor, through software update 2026.38.5.1.
Which cars
This rollout targets Model S and Model X built before the 2021 refresh that have HW3 and an Intel processor. One of the first reports came from the owner of a 2017 Model X. Earlier in the summer, v14 Lite reached HW3 Model 3 and Model Y; AMD-powered HW3 Model S and X followed in September.
What they get
- The distilled v14 driving model, trained to imitate the HW4 version.
- Better handling of merges, pedestrians, traffic lights and cut-ins.
- Fewer false slowdowns and smoother steering.
- Speed profiles to set how assertively FSD drives.
What is missing
Several features that HW3 Model 3 and Model Y already have are not included for Intel S and X: arrival options, starting FSD from Park, reversing on FSD and Smart Summon. Tesla may add some of these in later point releases.
The bigger picture
v14 Lite is described as the last major FSD branch for HW3 cars. They will not get unsupervised FSD or v15. For owners of these older flagships, now that the Model S and Model X are out of production, this may be one of the last big FSD upgrades their cars receive, unless Tesla delivers the hardware retrofit it has promised to owners who bought FSD.
What to watch
Point releases that add the missing parking features, and any concrete plan for HW3 computer upgrades.
