Tesla Restores FSD Beta 10.3.1 After Weekend Rollback Over Bugs
Tesla deploys Full Self-Driving Beta 10.3.1 to testers after quickly pulling version 10.3 due to unexpected software issues. CEO Elon Musk notes that such fluctuations are a normal part of the public beta testing process.
Tesla distributes Full Self-Driving Beta version 10.3.1 to its early access pool this morning after a brief rollback over the weekend. The initial release of version 10.3 experienced a delay from Friday to Sunday due to a regression in left turns at traffic lights. Once the update finally reached vehicles on Sunday, Tesla quickly revokes access from many owners who just received it.
Several affected drivers report losing their FSD Beta access immediately after updating, even those with perfect 100 Safety Scores. Elon Musk explains on Twitter that the sudden removal of version 10.3 is an intentional and expected part of beta software testing. He notes that it is impossible for internal QA teams to test all hardware configurations in every condition, which makes public beta testing essential.
Despite these temporary setbacks, Tesla continues its bi-weekly update cycle for the FSD Beta program. Musk openly acknowledges past versions as imperfect, but steady improvements over the months increase the driving comprehension of Tesla vehicles with every mile driven. This rapid iteration process relies heavily on real-world data from the public beta testers to refine the autonomous driving system.
