After a bit of a lull in FSD Beta content I received 10.69.3 earlier this morning (2022-11-02) and have been busy testing ever since. All videos related to 10.69.3 will be posted here.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of November 2nd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 attempting 3 UPL turns onto St Anthony Pkwy from Johnson St NE (NE Minneapolis). There was not a lot of traffic during this time of day so I’ll be posting another video later tonight once rush hour hits.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of November 2nd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). FSD Beta 10.69.3 is very similar to 10.69.2 however it unfortunately comes with a few regressions related to line selection when making tight left turns. Excessive hesitation at 4-way stops is also something that continues to be an issue for FSD Beta 10.69 and this behavior persists in 10.69.3. Elon mentioned additional polishing was required for 10.69.3 so I’m very eager to see how the subsequent minor releases of 10.69.3 perform.

This video contains footage recorded on the evening of November 3rd, 2022 where I put FSD Beta 10.69.3 through a roundabout torture test that we previously tried w/ 10.69.1. The pair of roundabouts are located adjacent to a busy Walmart in Roseville, MN and I decided to test during rush hour to ensure other vehicle & VRU traffic would be present. During the torture test, I traverse the pair of roundabouts a total of 6 times, 3 times from each direction. I considered each test a fail if I had to disengage or intervene with any sort of driver input. After performing all 6 attempts, I recorded 2 passes and 4 failures.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of November 3rd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 driving me around the shortened version of my NE Minneapolis Test Loop. During this drive I recognize some improvements related to lane selection as well as some regressions related to hesitation at 2-way & 4-way stops.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of November 4th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 driving me from my wife’s work (Columbia Heights) to my house (NE Minneapolis). During this short drive, FSD selected the correct lane when turning right onto Central Ave NE for the first time since FSD Beta 10.10.2. On top of this promising result, FSD also confidently navigates a construction zone without any intervention from me. Based on my recent drives with FSD Beta 10.69.3, I believe there is a lot of promise with the changes Tesla made behind the scenes and I am really excited to see how they evolve with 10.69.3.1 & 10.69.3.2.
This video contains footage recorded on November 6th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). Even though this drive has a fairly easy route, we experienced several issues along the way which resulted in several disengagements.
