Tesla FSD v14.3.6 review: rare regression on local roads, highway still strong
Teslarati's review of FSD v14.3.6 found rare regressions on local roads — hesitant, less smooth driving — compared to the well-received v14.3.5, though highway performance stayed strong, a reminder that FSD updates aren't always a straight line of improvement.
The v14.3 branch had been on a steady improvement streak. The prior release, v14.3.5, was especially well received by the community — but the follow-up, v14.3.6, didn't keep that momentum going, according to Teslarati's review.
The review found the issues mostly showed up on local, residential-style roads — hesitant behavior and less smooth decision-making. Highway performance, by contrast, stayed largely strong, with only minor complaints about speed settings or left-lane camping.
The review is a reminder that FSD updates don't always move in a straight line of improvement. With Robotaxi expansion ongoing, whether this kind of localized regression persists into the next release is worth watching from a shareholder's perspective.
