Owners running the new build on Hardware 3 vehicles are reporting an uptick in computer failures.
A new report ties Tesla's FSD v14 Lite release to a rise in Hardware 3 computer failures, with owners reporting the issue on vehicles running the build.
What Happened
According to the report, owners are linking FSD v14 Lite to an increase in HW3 computer failures. The reports surface as Tesla pushes the latest Full Self-Driving software to older Autopilot hardware.
