Tesla seems to be rolling out FSD Beta v.10.69.2.3 to testers as expected.
With AI Day 2022 now behind us—along with the reveal of Optimus prototypes—Tesla is again concentrating on FSD Beta and its series of 10.69 releases. This week, 10.69.2.3 is expected to roll out to testers.
Beta tester Cameron is one of the first to receive version 10.69.2.3. He shared v.10.69.2.3’s release notes. Tesla tracker Teslascope stated that the latest version had no noteworthy new changes. Instead, FSD Beta v.10.69.3 had a few undocumented bug fixes. The single photo Cameron shared of 10.69.2.3 does look similar to the release notes Tesla provided testers when v10.69 first rolled out.
10.69 Issues Recap
Tesla FSD Beta version 10.69.1 had a few minor issues, including some instances of phantom braking, a few problems with turns—both left and right—and complications with speed limit recognition.
FSD Beta 10.69.2 reduced the instances of the issues most testers reported and version 10.69.2.2 helped the software drive even smoother.
A few testers told Teslarati that some issues have remained from 10.69.1 and 10.69.2, even after 10.69.2.2’s release. For instance, Sandy from Canada noted that his vehicle would recognize speed limit signs and coast to reduce the speed as if it were in Neutral. As a result, the vehicle would not use regen or the brakes to reach the lower speed limit.
Sandy also shared concerns with left turns at traffic light intersections with oncoming traffic. He stated that his Tesla would creep once at the intersections even as oncoming traffic approaches. The Canadian Tesla driver found FSD’s decision to continue approaching the turn “disconcerting,” as he would choose to simply wait at the intersection until it was safe to turn. Fellow FSD Beta tester Dr. Rahaman also told Teslarati that the software performed left turns a bit aggressively.
The main issue testers have reported from 10.69.2.2, however, seems to be lane selection.
“I have tried FSD 10.69.2.2 and it’s good on streets but have some lane selection problems, too. It get[s] confused selecting lanes it always takes the exit lane even though I have to go straight and at [the] end, it stops and tr[ies] to merge in[to] the left lane,” noted Beta tester Pradip.
Tesla extensively talked about its FSD Lane Networks during AI Day 2022 last week. Hopefully, v.10.69.3 will address the lane selection issue multiple Beta testers have been experiencing lately, along with any problems remaining from previous versions.
The Tesla FSD Beta Program now has 160,000 customers, compared to 2,000 in 2021. At AI Day 2022, Elon Musk mentioned that Tesla hopes to release FSD Beta worldwide by the end of the year. However, Musk also cautioned that FSD Beta’s release worldwide would be complex, given all the different rules and regulations in each country.

Tesla Megapacks chosen for 548 MWh energy storage project in Japan
Tesla plans to supply over 100 Megapack units to support a large stationary storage project in Japan, making it one of the country’s largest energy storage facilities.
Tesla’s Megapack grid-scale batteries have been selected to back an energy storage project in Japan, coming as the latest of the company’s continued deployment of the hardware.
As detailed in a report from Nikkei this week, Tesla plans to supply 142 Megapack units to support a 548 MWh storage project in Japan, set to become one of the country’s largest energy storage facilities. The project is being overseen by financial firm Orix, and it will be located at a facility Maibara in central Japan’s Shiga prefecture, and it aims to come online in early 2027.
The deal is just the latest of several Megapack deployments over the past few years, as the company continues to ramp production of the units. Tesla currently produces the Megapack at a facility in Lathrop, California, though the company also recently completed construction on its second so-called “Megafactory” in Shanghai China and is expected to begin production in the coming weeks.

Tesla’s production of the Megapack has been ramping up at the Lathrop facility since initially opening in 2022, and both this site and the Shanghai Megafactory are aiming to eventually reach a volume production of 10,000 Megapack units per year. The company surpassed its 10,000th Megapack unit produced at Lathrop in November.
During Tesla’s Q4 earnings call last week, CEO Elon Musk also said that the company is looking to construct a third Megafactory, though he did not disclose where.
Last year, Tesla Energy also had record deployments of its Megapack and Powerwall home batteries with a total of 31.4 GWh of energy products deployed for a 114-percent increase from 2023.
Other recently deployed or announced Megapack projects include a massive 600 MW/1,600 MWh facility in Melbourne, a 75 MW/300 MWh energy storage site in Belgium, and a 228 MW/912 MWh storage project in Chile, along with many others still.

Elon Musk responds to Ontario canceling $100M Starlink deal amid tariff drama
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said, opens new tab on February 3 that he was “ripping up” his province’s CA$100 million agreement with Starlink in response to the U.S. imposing tariffs on Canadian goods.
Elon Musk company SpaceX is set to lose a $100 million deal with the Canadian province of Ontario following a response to the Trump administration’s decision to apply 25 percent tariffs to the country.
Starlink, a satellite-based internet service launched by the Musk entity SpaceX, will lose a $100 million deal it had with Ontario, Premier Doug Ford announced today.
Starting today and until U.S. tariffs are removed, Ontario is banning American companies from provincial contracts.
Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario. U.S.-based businesses will…
— Doug Ford (@fordnation) February 3, 2025
Ford said on X today that Ontario is banning American companies from provincial contracts:
“We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy. Canada didn’t start this fight with the U.S., but you better believe we’re ready to win it.”
It is a blow to the citizens of the province more than anything, as the Starlink internet constellation has provided people in rural areas across the globe stable and reliable access for several years.
Musk responded in simple terms, stating, “Oh well.”
Oh well https://t.co/1jpMu55T6s
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 3, 2025
It seems Musk is less than enthused about the fact that Starlink is being eliminated from the province, but it does not seem like all that big of a blow either.
As previously mentioned, this impacts citizens more than Starlink itself, which has established itself as a main player in reliable internet access. Starlink has signed several contracts with various airlines and maritime companies.
It is also expanding to new territories across the globe on an almost daily basis.
With Mexico already working to avoid the tariff situation with the United States, it will be interesting to see if Canada does the same.
The two have shared a pleasant relationship, but President Trump is putting his foot down in terms of what comes across the border, which could impact Americans in the short term.
