Tesla to Roll Out FSD v12.5.6.2 Update This Week with Enhanced FSD Notifications
Tesla is gearing up to release the highly anticipated FSD update v12.5.6.2 this week. Following the recent rollout of v12.5.6.1, this latest update is set to bring a host of improvements to Full Self Driving (FSD) notifications. While initially limited to AI4 vehicles, the update is expected to expand to HW3 vehicles in the near future.
The upcoming FSD 12.5.6.2 release will primarily focus on bug fixes, but it will also introduce significant new features such as Speed Profiles and the End-to-End Highway stack. One notable fix in v12.5.6.2 addresses the persistent “Full Self Driving may be degraded; Poor weather detected” notification that has been a source of frustration for many Tesla drivers.
Previously, the weather degradation notification would frequently appear in inclement weather conditions, accompanied by loud alerts that disrupted audio playback. Tesla’s VP of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, has confirmed that v12.5.6.2 will include a solution to this issue, providing a more seamless driving experience for users. This update may also hint at the long-awaited Joe Mode enhancement with a volume slider feature.
As Tesla prepares for the release of FSD v13 in the coming weeks, the v12.5.6.2 update serves as a precursor to the upcoming advancements in autonomous driving technology. Early access testers are expected to receive the update first, with a wider rollout to AI4 owners shortly thereafter. HW3 owners can anticipate the update once Tesla completes the necessary optimizations for compatibility with their vehicles.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on Tesla’s FSD v12.5.6.2 release, as the company continues to innovate and enhance the driving experience for Tesla owners worldwide.
