Tesla boss Elon Musk has an early surprise for those who are waiting for the upcoming Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta v11. If he's right about his claim, the software update will definitely roll out as soon as possible.
The promising FSD Beta will allow users to explore not only the self-driving capability but also the Autopilot mechanism in Tesla EVs.
What's with Tesla FSD Beta v11?
Speculations about the newest FSD beta v11 point out the improved navigation system of Tesla EVs thanks to the auto-driving feature.
While it's noteworthy to know that Tesla's technology is ahead of other brands in terms of full self-driving, the driver should still be alert when driving on a highway.
The American automaker considers this as a Level 2 driver-assist system since it still needs help from the drivers and is not entirely on the system, according to Electrek.
At each update for the Tesla FSD Beta program, drivers expect to explore more features as the rollout of updates continues.
In North America alone, more than 400,000 Tesla drivers participated in the program so far. These are the owners who took advantage of the virtual FSD package installed on their EVs.
Tesla FSD Beta Delays
The launch of Tesla FSD Beta v11 should have started in November 2022. However, more vehicles have not yet received the update at that time that's why the package remained under testing since that date.
Merging the FSD Beta software with the existing Autopilot technology stack is Tesla's plan to do with this program. It will pave the way for improved support for acceleration, braking, and steering to the driver.
It was only last month when Elon Musk decided to launch the closed beta of the software after several delays. It was only initially available to select beta testers, but this time, it's now ready for nationwide release.

The good news about Tesla drivers is that Tesla's head has a comment pointing out the imminent launch of the software update. According to Musk, the v11 will start going "wide" this weekend.

Another thing is that a group of beta testers have been exploring the update since last week. The results appear to be "fairly well." This could be a clear indication that it's going to be available pretty soon.
The bad news is that it's not yet finalized given the hype that Elon brings to the table every time he tweets something on his Twitter account.
Apparently, we should still take this with a grain of salt since in the past, Musk has mentioned it yet it did not arrive during the said launch date.
In other news, Teslarati reports that the Tesla Model Y still dominates the Chinese EV market. The said model showed impressive sales in the region in February.
Elsewhere, a recent consumer survey reveals that Elon Musk's tweets are negatively impacting the performance of Tesla when it comes to sales and other factors.
