This means that buyers who opt for the FSD software will no longer have to wait for a software update after purchase to unlock the feature—it’s now ready to go from day one.purchasers had to download a software update to activate the beta, a process that sometimes involved weeks of waiting. However, this latest development suggests that Tesla has streamlined the process, allowing FSD to be available immediately upon purchase or transfer to a new vehicle.
In August, Musk provided a sneak peek into FSD v12’s capabilities through a live-streamed demonstration as he allowed his vehicle to navigate Palo Alto, California, showcasing the system’s advancements. Further insights into the recent progress of FSD beta were unveiled in excerpts leading up to the release of Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk and within the book itself. Isaacson summarized Tesla’s transition from a “rules-based” approach to an approach driven by network-path-based neural network training using real-world driver footage.
