FSD v14.3 Is Out: The Double-Stop Is Dead (And a Few Other Fixes That Actually Matter)

FSD v14.3 Is Out: The Double-Stop Is Dead (And a Few Other Fixes That Actually Matter)

Tesla started pushing FSD v14.3 to Early Access Program members on April 7, 2026. If you've been running v14.2.2.5, there are a handful of changes worth knowing about. Nothing here is going to make you forget you're still paying attention to traffic, but some of these fixes address behaviors that have been genuinely annoying for a while.

The Double-Stop Problem Is Finally Fixed

This one bothered me more than it probably should have. In v14.2.2.5, the car would stop twice at intersections. Once before the line, then creep forward and stop again at the line. It looked indecisive and felt weird every single time. In v14.3 it stops once, like a normal car operated by a person who passed their driving test.

Small fix. Should never have been a thing. Glad it's gone.

Yellow Lights: Less Panic Braking

The old behavior on yellow lights was frustrating. In situations where stopping would have been genuinely unsafe (you're already in the intersection, or you're close enough that hard braking would cause problems), v14.2.2.5 would sometimes brake anyway. v14.3 is supposed to proceed through yellow lights safely when that's the right call.

This is exactly the kind of "drive like a human, not like a liability waiver" improvement I want to see more of.

Highway Behavior: Staying Right After Passing

Left-lane camping was one of the consistent complaints about v14.2.2.5. The car would pass a few vehicles and then just... stay in the left lane. In v14.3, after completing a pass, it returns to the right lane. And the exit approach logic got smarter, too. Instead of trying to squeeze in a pass within 0.6 miles of an exit, it now slows down and waits for the exit instead.

Both of these make the car feel less like it's being driven by someone who just got their license and hasn't learned highway etiquette yet.

Parking Got Better (Apparently)

v14.3 is supposed to handle parking more efficiently and confidently, even when there's other traffic moving around nearby. I don't have enough miles on this version yet to confirm that personally, but it's on the list of changes.

The Visibility Warning Got Bigger

When the camera visibility is limited, the warning on the display is now larger than it was in v14.2.2.5. This is a safety-adjacent change that doesn't get headlines, but it matters. If the system is telling you to take over, you want to actually see that.

What's Still Not Fixed

Navigation and routing still has problems. Specifically, there are conflicts between the 'Avoid Highways' setting and the route the car actually takes. So if you have that setting on and the car goes ahead and uses a highway anyway, that's a known issue that v14.3 hasn't resolved.

It's worth noting that Max Speed was previously removed from FSD speed profiles. That's not a v14.3 change, but if you're new to this version and wondering where it went, it's gone.

Worth Updating?

If you're on EAP and you've been dealing with the double-stop, the yellow light braking, or the left-lane camping, yes. These are real improvements to behaviors that were real problems. The routing issue is a genuine rough edge that's still there.

But it's incremental. This is one version closer to something that doesn't require constant monitoring, not the version that gets you there.
