According to a few weeks agoMuskAccording to the introduction, the initially released FSD v12.5 version only supports Model Y equipped with HW4 hardware. Last Monday, Musk estimated that FSD v12.5 would be deployed to electric vehicles equipped with HW4 in about 10 days. If Musk's statement is accurate, this actually means that FSD v12.5 will be deployed to more electric vehicles starting this Thursday.

He also explained why Tesla needed to wait to bring this highly anticipated version to HW3-equipped vehicles.

Musk said: "To run on HW3, a lot of optimization work is needed on the code. At the same time, it also needs to be independently verified."

In addition, Musk said that v12.5 has five times more parameters than v12.4, but it can still run on HW3 vehicles, but some additional work on the code is required.

In addition to vehicles equipped with HW3 hardware waiting for the FSD version, Cybertruck owners are also waiting for software updates. Musk said in an interview last weekend that he expects FSD v12.5 to be pushed to Cybertruck in two to four weeks.

In addition to Cybertruck getting FSD for the first time, v12.5 is also expected to include several improvements, such as merging the highway and city software stacks, allowing drivers to wear sunglasses hands-free while driving, and Tesla's long-awaited "Actual Smart Summon" feature.

In a recent announcement on the X platform, Tesla Autopilot Director Ashok Elluswamy stressed the team’s focus on smoothness and safety during the development of FSD v12.5, revealing that during a recent drive, he was able to avoid spilling his coffee most of the time.

"One of my personal test criteria is not to spill the coffee with the lid open while FSD is running," he wrote. "12.5 is the first version that allows me to drive for 30 minutes without spilling the coffee." (辰辰)
