Tesla has significantly expanded the availability of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) speed profiles, now enabling the feature on all roads with speed limits of 50 mph or higher.

This marks a notable expansion from its previous limitation to highway-only use, as confirmed by Tesla’s Vice President of AI Software, Ashok Elluswamy.

The enhancement comes as part of FSD version 12.5.6.2, which was included in Tesla’s software update 2024.33.30.

Elluswamy announced the change on X (formerly Twitter), responding to user observations about the feature’s newfound availability on city streets.

Tesla offers drivers three distinct speed profile options:

  • Chill: A conservative driving mode that favors slower lanes and minimizes lane changes
  • Standard: A balanced approach that maintains moderate speeds and reasonable lane positioning
  • Hurry: An assertive mode featuring higher speeds, more frequent lane changes, and a preference for fast-lane driving

These profiles underwent a recent nomenclature update, with “Standard” and “Hurry” replacing the previous “Average” and “Assertive” designations, a change initiated by Elon Musk in June.

Rollout and Future Prospects

The initial deployment targets vehicles equipped with Tesla’s AI4 computer, though owners with older HW3 hardware can expect to receive the update in subsequent rollouts.

While the expanded functionality currently applies only to roads with speed limits of 50 mph or higher, future updates may extend the feature’s capabilities to lower-speed areas.

This expansion represents another step in Tesla’s ongoing efforts to enhance its Full Self-Driving capabilities and provide drivers with more customizable autonomous driving experiences across a broader range of road types.
