Like thousands of other Twitter users, we spent a lot of last night cruising around with @winnersechelon, who also goes by Tesla Bull. The Twitter user shared five videos of Tesla's latest FSD Beta version 11.3. It gave viewers our firsthand look at the highly anticipated software that Elon Musk has been promising for months, and it appears to be worth the wait. Tesla Bull tweeted:
"FSD beta 11.3 UNIFIED STACK!! Let's go!!! Great work team Tesla."
Striking Visual Changes
The videos show some undeniable changes from the previous FSD versions. The blue line showing the car's path is noticeably thicker, taking up the width of the vehicle. Also, the red lines are gone, replaced with light grey lines similar to those we see with standard Autopilot. New visualization appears at intersections and around crosswalks, according to Tesla Bull.
Smooth Drive
Then there is the drive. While this is difficult to judge, Tesla Bull tweeted:
Noticeably smoother in certain areas where timid previously. Still, a long way to go and many more miles to test.
Sharing real unfiltered progress is exciting. There was one driver intervention that caused another new addition to FSD. A message appears stating: Autopilot Disengaged. What Happened? Press voice button to send Tesla an anonymous message describing your experience.
We got from city streets to the highway, and Tesla Bull reported that he did make several manual speed changes. Still, it's unclear if the changes were necessary, as he also stated that one of the speed adjustments was to catch another Tesla. The software is put through all the paces as it also exits the highway effortlessly and returns to city streets. The car takes the on and off ramps much more naturally, and cornering and acceleration appear confident.
It was a big test to see the Tesla go from city streets to highways and vice versa. That is a significant change with this update that combines city streets and highways into a single stack, meaning the same Neural Nets are being used in all situations, as promised by the Autopilot team on A.I. Day 2022.
Tesla Bull claims that "auto park" is active again. He later provides a video showing Auto Park in action. It's important to note that he has a 2020 Tesla that has ultrasonic sensors, so this is not the new Auto Park for vehicles without the sensors. Actual Smart Summon (ASS) also does not appear to be in this release. That said, it has been on the radar for several months. Unfortunately, the nag continues to nag. While Musk had hoped to remove the reminder to apply resistant to the wheel, transportation officials in both the United States and Canada raised concerns.
FSD v11.3 is nearing public release. Musk said that version 11.3.2. would "likely" be the one that goes to the thousands of FSD owners in North America. That means the version Tesla Bull took for a ride stills requires work before the Tesla team can send it out wide. Tesla Bull agrees, he tweeted: Smooth indeed. Will share more videos with full transparency. Could be three steps forward and two back but this will be solved. You're doing it Tesla. You're leading and it matters!
Streets to Highway PT. 1 One intervention (accelerator press, right before highway entrance) Multiple manual speed changes Last one to catch a fellow @Tesla ?
The road to bringing FSD to Europe has been a long and complex one and filled with regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles. Elon Musk, as well as other members of Tesla’s AI team, have previously voiced their grievances with the regulatory approval process on X.
However, it appears that there is finally some progress in getting things moving with recent changes to upcoming autonomy regulations, but the process still seems slow.
Waiting on the Dutch
Elon commented on X recently, stating that Tesla is waiting for approval from Dutch authorities and then the EU to start rolling out FSD in Europe. Tesla is focusing on acquiring approvals from the Dutch transportation authority, which will provide them with the platform they need to gain broader acceptance in Europe. Outside of the Netherlands, Tesla is also conducting testing in Norway, which provides a couple of avenues for them to obtain national-level approval.
The frustration has been ongoing, with multiple committee meetings bringing up autonomy regulation but always pulling back at the last second before approving anything. The last meeting on Regulation 157, which governs Automated Lane Keeping Systems, concluded with authorities from the UK and Spain requesting additional time to analyze the data before reaching a conclusion.
Tesla, as well as Elon, have motioned several times for owners to reach out to their elected representatives to move the process forward, as it seems that Tesla’s own efforts are being stymied.
This can seem odd, especially since Tesla has previously demoed FSD working exceptionally smoothly on European roads - and just did it again in Rome when they shared the video below on X.

DCAS Phase 3
While the approval process has been slow, Kees Roelandschap pointed out that there may be a different regulatory step that could allow FSD to gain a foothold in Europe.
According to Kees, the European Commission is now taking a new approach to approving ADAS systems under the new DCAS Phase 3 regulations. The Commission is now seeking data from systems currently operational in the United States that can perform System-Initiated Maneuvers and don’t require hands-on intervention for every request.
This is key because those are two of the core functionalities that make FSD so usable, and it also means that there may not be a need to wait years for proper regulations to be written from scratch. Now, the Commission will be looking at real-world data based on existing, deployed technology, which could speed up the process immensely.
What This Means
This new, data-driven regulatory approach could be the path for Tesla to reach its previous target of September for European FSD. While the cogs of bureaucracy are ever slow, sometimes all it takes is a little data to have them turn a bit faster in this case.
Alongside specific countries granting approval for limited field testing with employees, there is some light at the end of the tunnel for FSD in Europe, and hopes are that a release will occur by the end of 2025. With Europe now looking to North America for how FSD is performing, Tesla’s Robotaxi results could also play a role.
Tesla’s marketing has always been relatively unconventional, relying on word-of-mouth rather than traditional advertising. The passion of the owner’s community is always massive, but it is especially high now with the launch of the Robotaxi network just around the corner.
Tesla is now tapping into that spring of fan creativity and announced the TeslaVision video contest, with some seriously impressive prizes up for grabs.
Announcing the TeslaVision fan video showcase
Tesla owners & supporters have always been able to see our products & mission for what they truly are.
Your word of mouth has made Tesla what it is today.
The OGs will remember that in 2017, we held our first video contest. 8 years… pic.twitter.com/6pPpkqmqOH
The core of the contest is simple. Create a video that shows how your Tesla gives you more in life. Tesla is looking for submissions that highlight themes of freedom, safety, fun, and convenience.
Prizes
The prizes definitely make this contest worth entering if you’re good with a camera and have some basic video editing abilities.
For North America, the prizes include a brand new Model Y AWD Long Range, alongside an all-expenses-paid trip to Austin for a tour of Giga Texas. The grand prize winner will also be able to custom order their Model Y, allowing them to select their preferred wheels and color.
The two runners-up won’t get a Model Y, but they’ll also enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Giga Texas for a tour of the factory.
The travel and tour include lodging in Austin for 2 nights, as well as economy-class round-trip tickets from anywhere in North America. Tesla will also provide a vehicle for use during the trip.
For long-time followers of Tesla, this contest may feel familiar. The contest is a direct throwback to the 2017 Project Loveday contest, which was inspired by a letter to Tesla from a 10-year-old aspiring marketer. That contest was won by MKBHD, with his submission below:
How to Enter
