Forum: Is an active FSD subscription needed for v14.3 on HW3?
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user with a 2023 Model S running HW3 and software 2026.38.3.1 asks whether he needs to enable a monthly FSD subscription to receive FSD lite v14.3. He says he stopped using FSD because his daily commute is 15 to 20 miles and he wants to try the new version. The post, titled "2026.38.5 and non-active FSD subscription", is a user query. It includes no official response from Tesla and does not confirm that the 2026.38.5 update depends on an active subscription.
- HW3 owner with inactive subscription asks whether they can receive FSD lite v14.3.
- User on 2026.38.3.1 asks about the update to 2026.38.5; no official confirmation.
🔎 Why it matters: No official confirmation: the open question is whether a 2023 Model S with HW3 needs an active monthly subscription to get FSD lite v14.3 after 2026.38.5. It is a user query, not a Tesla announcement.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: If the requirement were real, HW3 owners with an inactive subscription would lack v14.3 access; the thread does not confirm it.
