Tesla releases FSD Beta 10.3.1 to address issues in 10.3

On Sunday Tesla released the latest FSD Beta, version 10.3 to many new anticipated testers. In addition to going out to current testers, Tesla also released the beta to owners who had achieved a Safety Score of 99 or higher.

Beta 10.3 included many improvements to self driving as outlined in Tesla’s technical release notes. It also included a new feature called FSD Profiles, which introduced driving styles for FSD.

Unfortunately, the excitement was short lived, as the beta included several issues, one of which disabled the use of Autopilot on city streets. The release appears to have some issues related to Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warnings, as Tesla has remotely disabled these features. Issues are par for the course for any beta release and this should be a warning to future testers waiting to be selected. Not all releases and features will always work or go smoothly.

Thanks to social media, Tesla was made aware of the issue that affected some models fairly quickly and Tesla started to roll users back to a public release.

Seeing some issues with 10.3, so rolling back to 10.2 temporarily.

Please note, this is to be expected with beta software. It is impossible to test all hardware configs in all conditions with internal QA, hence public beta.

The FSD Beta was release 2021.36.5.2. When Tesla decided to roll users back to a more stable build, they pushed out update 2021.36.5.1, which did not include the FSD Beta. This left some users confused on whether they should install the update or if it was a mistake.

It doesn’t look like Tesla sent out an email explaining the situation, which left many users questioning what happened when they received an update for an older, non-FSD build.

It’s not clear why Tesla didn’t roll users back to the previous FSD Beta, v10.2.

10.3.1 rolling out now

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 25, 2021

However, if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Tesla moves quickly. Early this morning Tesla has already pushed out another FSD Beta build that tries to address the issues found in beta 10.3.

The update comes in as FSD Beta 10.3.1, which is version 2021.36.5.3.

Tesla is sending the update to select vehicles and monitoring feedback before sending it out to all beta testers.

If you received FSD Beta 10.3 and downgraded to the non-FSD update, you should receive this newest FSD Beta as well. Tesla will likely continue to slowly roll it out to more cars and monitor the release before releasing it to everyone.

If you’re still on FSD Beta 10.3, it’s recommended that you download and install the non-beta version for now until Tesla is able to iron out the issues.

Tesla Expected to Offer FSD Transfers in Europe

Not a Tesla App

It has been a long wait for FSD for European customers, many of whom paid for the feature years ago on now legacy hardware. While the FSD transfer program has come and gone multiple times, there’s something to be said about having it available in North America, where it can be used, and in Europe or other countries, where it still just remains the same as Enhanced Autopilot (differences between Autopilot, EAP, and FSD).

FSD Transfer is a nice goodwill gesture from Tesla that in theory doesn’t cost them anything. Instead, it keeps customers, especially those who have been waiting for years, loyal and happy. It also incentivizes them to upgrade to a newer Tesla with HW4, where FSD will hopefully be achieved.

In a reply to a post on X, Elon agreed with the suggestion that offering FSD transfers in Europe would be a fair solution for those who have already purchased FSD but can’t use its capabilities.

Sounds fair

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 13, 2025

A Fair Solution

FSD Transfer directly addresses a growing concern for many long-term European Tesla owners. Thousands of customers purchased the full package, often many years ago, with the expectation that FSD would eventually be capable and approved for use. However, the reality is that FSD, even as an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), continues to be pushed back in Europe.

As the regulatory process continues at a snail's pace, many of these early supporters are now reaching or have already passed the point where they’re ready to upgrade to a new Tesla.

Without the transfer program, it's a difficult choice: either throw away your original investment in FSD and pay for the package a second time (FSD price history), or subscribe to it in the future.

Offering FSD transfers is a good way for Tesla to meet them halfway. It's a difficult situation, and one that’s being hindered by processes beyond the control of both the customer and Tesla. However, a transfer helps both parties. Tesla sells another vehicle, and the customer gets to keep FSD.

When Will it Be Available?

Based on how FSD transfers have worked in the past following Elon’s announcements, this feature is likely to become available for a limited time period in the coming days or weeks. If it happens, we should expect an announcement from Tesla Europe on X and emails being sent out to Tesla customers.

Once the program is in place, all you need to do is complete your vehicle purchase and then inform your Tesla sales advisor that you’d like to transfer FSD. You don’t even have to sell or trade in your old Tesla; FSD will simply be removed from it as a feature.

Hopefully, Tesla enables FSD Transfers for everyone, regardless of region. It should be an ongoing offer until at least FSD is approved in the given country or region.

Tesla Increases Robotaxi Fare Fee, Up from $4.20

Not a Tesla App

The introductory price for Tesla’s Robotaxi Network has finally been updated. In a post on X, Elon Musk confirmed that the new fare would be rolling out to complement the new Robotaxi geofence expansion.

This change marks the first adjustment to Tesla’s fares since the initial $4.20 launch price 23 days ago. While the price increase may seem significant in terms of percentages, when compared to other options in the ride-hailing area, it is still drastically cheaper.

But the price is now a princely $6.90, as foretold in the prophecy 😂

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 14, 2025

Context Matters

Robotaxi currently operates on a simple, flat-rate model. The new $6.90 fare gets you a ride to anywhere within the recently expanded geofence.

So far, this is the opposite approach compared to other services, such as Waymo or traditional ride-sharing options like Uber and Lyft. All these services use dynamic pricing based on distance, time of day, and demand. A comparable trip on any one of these services could cost anywhere from $30 to $65, and potentially even higher during peak hours.

That doesn’t even include the tip fees for human drivers either - another win for Robotaxi (can you tip a Robotaxi?).

Even with the adjustment, the flat $6.90 fare remains less than half the price of a typical competing ride, making Robotaxi the most affordable point-to-point transportation option in Austin, aside from mass transit, for now.

A “Maturing” Service

The price change, moving from one meme-worthy number to another, is a sign that Robotaxi is finally graduating from its initial pilot phase. Following the first major expansion of the service area, this adjustment is a logical next step towards finding a more sustainable flat price.

While the new fare is a 65% increase over the old fare, the key takeaway is that it is still far cheaper than other options, and still just as meme-worthy. Tesla is aiming to have its early access riders complete as many rides as possible during these early months, and this pricing is still very reflective of that.
