Elon Musk just confirmed: Tesla is training a new Full Self-Driving (FSD) model that could roll out by the end of next month.
“Probably ready for public release end of next month if testing goes well.”
– Elon Musk, via X
What’s Actually New?
10x More Parameters
That means the AI model is bigger and more capable. Better at recognizing and reacting to real-world driving scenarios.
Sharper Video
Improved compression = cleaner, clearer visuals for the system to interpret. It helps the car “see” better and drive smarter.
These upgrades aim to:
-
Improve reaction time
-
Handle complex situations more smoothly
-
Reduce awkward or jerky driving
Reminder: FSD Still Needs You
This update won’t make your Tesla fully autonomous. You’ll still need to stay alert and keep your hands on the wheel. It’s a smart assistant, not a replacement.
Why This Drop Matters
Tesla had a tough stretch:
-
Q2 auto revenue dropped 16%
-
Sales in Europe are down
-
Stock’s off by 23.55% this year
FSD is one of Musk’s big plays to shift focus from car sales to autonomy. The launch of robotaxis in Austin was step one. This upgrade? Step two.
Final Thoughts
If you’re already using FSD, this could be a major upgrade in how your Tesla handles day-to-day driving. More confidence, less correction.
Keep an eye out, this update could hit as early as next month.
