Tesla rolled out the 2025 Holiday Release this holiday season, deploying Full Self-Driving (FSD) v14.2 with supervised-autonomy refinements and UI improvements. The update, first seen by Early Access Program members, adds arrival options, brake-confirm, child-left detection and improved urban navigation, and builds on data from over 6.5 billion FSD miles. It could boost subscriptions while increasing regulatory scrutiny in Europe and China.
