MY FIRST DRIVE ON FSD 14.1.4 WAS A MIXED BAG

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a mixed-bag assessment of Tesla's FSD 14.1.4 update, highlighting both advancements and persistent issues. While acknowledging improvements in decision-making speed and the ability to handle complex scenarios like unprotected turns and lane changes, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks. These include inconsistent speed profile adherence, noticeable "brake stabbing" and stuttering, and particularly poor performance in parking scenarios, with the vehicle failing to park correctly in multiple instances. The reviewer contrasts this version with the more stable 13.2.9, suggesting that while 14.1.4 offers more capabilities, it lacks the same level of confidence and smoothness. The reviewer is testing a 2025 Model 3 Performance with Hardware 4 and expresses a desire for a front bumper camera retrofit.
