Tesla FSD v14.3.3 Australia vs US: Right-Hand-Drive June 2026
Tesla FSD v14.3.3 Australia vs US: Right-Hand-Drive June 2026
Tesla launched FSD Supervised v14.3.3 in Australia and New Zealand on June 19, 2026 — the same version that has been running in the US for approximately two months. The two-month lag is the shortest right-hand-drive launch gap to date. The first Australian Full Self-Driving miles were logged the same day. Here is what’s different between the US and Australia/NZ versions.
Last verified: June 20, 2026.
TL;DR
- Launched: June 19, 2026 in Australia and New Zealand.
- Version: FSD Supervised v14.3.3 — same neural network as US.
- US lag: ~2 months. Shorter than v13’s lag (Sep 2025).
- Hardware: HW4 vehicles only. HW3 lite version expected later.
- Differences from US: RHD controls, local signage, AU/NZ road rules, regional fine-tuning.
- Next markets: UK likely late 2026/Q1 2027. Continental Europe likely H1 2027.
What changed in v14.3.3 vs v13.2.9 (the prior Australia/NZ baseline)
| Capability | v13.2.9 (previous AU/NZ version) | v14.3.3 (new) |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Vision-only, end-to-end | Vision-only, end-to-end with v14 model upgrades |
| Lane changes | Conservative | More natural, faster decision-making |
| Merges | Sometimes hesitant | More confident, better merge timing |
| Roundabouts | Mixed performance | Significantly improved |
| Intersections | Good | Better — handles unprotected lefts (or rights in RHD) more reliably |
| Wildlife detection | Basic | Improved animal heuristics (relevant in AU/NZ) |
| Lane keeping | Solid | Smoother centering |
| Disengagement rate (Tesla self-reported) | Higher | Lower in US data |
US vs Australia/NZ: what’s different in the same version
This is the interesting bit. The underlying model is the same — Tesla trains FSD on a global fleet — but several adaptations land for AU/NZ:
Right-hand-drive specifics
- Steering wheel on the right, traffic flow on the left. All lane positioning, turn-direction priorities, and intersection logic mirrored.
- Roundabouts. Counter-clockwise (vs clockwise in US right-side-of-the-road jurisdictions where they exist). AU/NZ has many roundabouts; v14.3.3 handles them better than v13.
- Overtaking lanes. AU/NZ have left-lane-keeping conventions different from US.
Local signage and road markings
- Stop sign and yield sign style differences.
- School zone markings (AU has time-conditional school zones; v14.3.3 reads the time-active signage).
- Speed limit signs (some AU/NZ limit displays differ from US).
- Pedestrian crossings (zebra crossings more common in AU/NZ).
Regulatory adaptations
- Speed compliance. FSD respects posted limits and local enforcement norms.
- Lane discipline. Australian motorway “keep left unless overtaking” enforced more strictly.
- Wildlife detection. Kangaroo and other wildlife heuristics added for AU rural driving.
Hardware constraints
- HW4 vehicles (Model 3 Highland, Model Y refreshed, newer Model S/X) get the full v14.3.3 experience.
- HW3 vehicles will receive an HW3 “lite” version later — a constrained subset of v14 capabilities given HW3’s compute budget.
Why the two-month US → AU/NZ lag is meaningful
In September 2025, when v13 launched in Australia/NZ, the lag from US release was several months. v14.3.3’s two-month lag is materially shorter and signals:
- Tesla’s RHD adaptation pipeline is more mature. The model retraining and regulatory clearance steps are taking less time.
- Regulatory relationships in Australia/NZ are warmer. The Australian Communications and Media Authority, NZ NZTA, and state-level regulators have visibility into Tesla’s testing.
- The next major RHD market (UK) will benefit. A two-month US → AU lag suggests UK could see v14 by late 2026 if regulatory approval moves at the same pace.
Comparison: FSD across major markets June 2026
| Market | Latest FSD version available | Drive side | Hardware support | Regulatory status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | v14.3.3 (rolling) | LHD | HW3 + HW4 | Approved, ongoing NHTSA monitoring |
| Canada | v14.3.x | LHD | HW3 + HW4 | Approved via Transport Canada |
| Mexico | v13 / partial v14 | LHD | HW3 + HW4 | Partial |
| Australia | v14.3.3 (launching) | RHD | HW4 first, HW3 lite later | ACMA + state DOTs cleared |
| New Zealand | v14.3.3 (launching) | RHD | HW4 first, HW3 lite later | NZTA cleared |
| UK | v13 | RHD | HW4 + HW3 | DfT approval pending for v14 |
| EU (Norway / Germany / France) | v13 / driver-assist only | LHD | HW4 + HW3 | EU type-approval pending |
| China | Locally homologated FSD | RHD/LHD by city | HW4 | Local regulator + on-device model |
Pricing in Australia and New Zealand
- Upfront purchase: AU$10,400 (subject to change).
- Subscription: Monthly subscription option (Tesla AU pricing page).
- Recommendation: Subscribe first, evaluate v14.3.3 in your driving environment, then commit upfront if value justifies.
What happens next
- HW3 lite version for older AU/NZ Tesla owners — timing unclear but expected H2 2026.
- UK rollout likely late 2026 or Q1 2027 pending DfT.
- Continental Europe (LHD) likely H1 2027.
- v15 is on Tesla’s internal roadmap but no public release window for either US or AU.
