As October comes to a close, here's an update on the releases
What we completed:
- End-to-end on highway has shipped to ~50k customers with v12.5.6.1
- Cybertruck build that improves responsiveness
- Successful We, Robot event with 50 autonomous Teslas safely transporting over 2,000 passengers
What's coming next:
- Full rollout of end-to-end highway driving to all AI4 users, targeted for early next week, including enhancements in stop smoothness, less annoying bad weather notifications, and other safety improvements
- Improved v12.5.x models for AI3 city driving
- Actually Smart Summon release to Europe, China and other regions of the world
- v13 is a package of following major technology upgrades:
- 36 Hz, full-resolution AI4 video inputs
- Native AI4 inputs and neural network architectures
- 3x model size scaling
- 3x model context length scaling
- 4.2x data scaling
- 5x training compute scaling (enabled by the Cortex training cluster)
- Much improved reward predictions for collision avoidance, following traffic controls, navigation, etc.
- Efficient representation of maps and navigation inputs
- Audio inputs for better handling of emergency vehicles
- Redesigned controller for smoother, more accurate tracking
- Integrated unpark, reverse, and park capabilities
- Support for destination options including pulling over, parking in a spot, driveway, or garage
- Improved camera cleaning and handling of camera occlusions
We have integrated several of these improvements and are already seeing a 4x increase in miles between necessary interventions compared to v12.5.4.
This lays the foundation for the v13 series, and we are targeting to ship v13.0 to internal customers by the end of this week.
Most of the remaining items are independently validated and will be integrated over November in a series of point releases.
We are targeting a wide release with v13.3 with most of the above improvements for AI4 vehicles around Thanksgiving!
Due to popular demand, Tesla AI team release roadmap:

Charging preparations ahead of Hurricane Milton:
→ If charging at home, charge to 100%.
→ Live status and availability of Superchargers are in the vehicle's touchscreen or the Tesla App.
→ Access types for other EVs are on the Find Us map. tesla.com/findus?v=2&search=…
→ Pre-hurricane, we are focused on uptime of Superchargers. Post-hurricane, we will be focused on restoration and are prepared to deploy mobile Superchargers powered by Megapacks where access to charging is most impacted.

Not bad for something some people said was impossible
NEWS: Tesla Semi program lead @danWpriestley says the Pilot Tesla Semi fleet has driven over 7.5 million kilometers to date.
There's even a Semi that has driven more than 400,000 real-world kilometers in less than 18 months, all at the max gross weight limit.
