Tesla has announced that the latest highly anticipated version of full self-driving (FSD) supervised software version 14 is starting to roll out to cars in Australia in New Zealand.
In a post on X, the company announced: āFSD Supervised v14 now rolling out in Australia š¦šŗ & New Zealand š³šæā
Off the back of this news, an avid reader of The Driven and long-distance EV driver, Harald Murphy shared the downloading of this software with the caption: āHurrrrrry up!ā as the car was downloading the latest version of the software, in anticipation of trying it out.
Another owner said: āLets goo! This is going to be a huge upgrade from V13 for them! Excited for them to try it out!āĀ
This comes less than a fortnight after the company hinted that FSD Supervised version 14 could be on the way, in an email to Australian customers.
The email said: āFSD (Supervised) V14 for Hardware 4 vehicles is in its final stages of local development and testing. This release represents a meaningful step forward in performance and capability, and we want to ensure your experience reflects that from the moment itās available on your vehicle.āĀ
Last year, Tesla launched the first version of its full self-driving (FSD) supervised software in the Australian market for select hardware-equipped vehicles. That was under version 13 of the software stack.
This is a major update for owners of Hardware 4 vehicles, which include tens of thousands of Model 3s and Model Ys across the country.
Itās also been a highly anticipated version, as many current users of the software expect major upgrades over the original version launched over nine months ago.
On 18 September 2025, Tesla launched the FSD supervised software to all eligible cars in Australia and New Zealand, making these the first right-hand-drive markets in the world to have it.
At that time, this software was available on all new vehicles as an option for $10,100, and a monthly subscription was launched later in the year and now starts at $149 per month.
This subscription offering has helped bring thousands of current owners to try FSD Supervised for the first time. However, the software isnāt currently available for older, Hardware 3-equipped cars, though it may be in the future as an FSD Lite offering.
Tesla is looking to improve its FSD Supervised software for our market as competition in the EV sales segment heats up, giving Tesla an edge over competitors who have yet to test their autonomous software in Australia.Ā
We hope to see a smooth rollout of this software, to try it out on local roads and receive updates on the likely release of FSD Lite for Hardware 3 owners across Australia.
