Musk says Tesla FSD v15 will ‘far exceed’ human safety — he said the same about v12 and v14
Elon Musk is once again promising that the next version of Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” software will “far exceed human levels of safety.” This time it’s V15. The problem is that he made virtually identical claims about Version 12 in 2023 and V14 in 2025 — and neither came close to delivering.
Musk posted the claim today in response to a user’s detailed review of FSD v14.3 after 600+ miles of testing. He acknowledged that “point releases will bring polish” to the current version before projecting that V15, the next major release, will achieve what every previous version was supposed to achieve.

Tesla cracks down on FSD hacking devices, remotely shuts down access
Tesla is hitting back at a growing gray market of unauthorized devices that unlock Full Self-Driving (FSD) in regions where the software hasn’t been approved. The automaker has been remotely disabling FSD on affected vehicles — permanently revoking access without warning.
