Tesla has begun rolling out software version 2026.14.6.6, a point release that packages FSD (Supervised) v14.3.3 with the company’s Spring Update, according to rollout tracking cited by third-party software monitors. The update includes a change to Actually Smart Summon, or ASS, that raises the feature’s top speed to 8 mph from 6 mph, according to reports published on May 16 and May 17. (basenor.com) Tesla’s public support pages describe Actually Smart Summon as a feature that can navigate a vehicle through parking lots to the user or to a selected location, but Tesla did not list the speed change on its general software-update support page. (tesla.com) Tesla’s owner documentation says Summon is controlled through the mobile app and is intended for use while the driver remains outside the vehicle and keeps it in view. The company also says feature availability can vary by region, hardware and software version. That makes the 8 mph cap a software-level change inside a feature Tesla already markets as part of Full Self-Driving (Supervised). ### Which vehicles appear to be getting the new Smart Summon behavior? Basenor reported on May 17 that version 2026.14.6.6 was first spotted on a Cybertruck AWD in Arizona and said Teslascope indicated AI4-equipped vehicles were eligible, subject to regional requirements. (basenor.com) Not a Tesla App has separately described FSD v14.3.2 as available in the United States on Models S, 3, X, Y, Cybertruck and HW4 vehicles, giving a recent picture of the hardware set Tesla has been targeting with the v14.3 branch. Tesla’s support site says software updates are delivered on a rolling basis and not every vehicle receives the same update at the same time. (tesla.com) Owners can check the Tesla app or the in-car Software menu for availability, Tesla says. ### What does Tesla officially say Actually Smart Summon does? Tesla’s support page for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) says Actually Smart Summon “navigates your vehicle in more complex environments and parking spaces” and can bring the car to the user in a parking lot. The Model Y owner’s manual says the feature can move the vehicle to the user’s location using the phone’s GPS or to a chosen point, while maneuvering around objects and stopping as necessary. (basenor.com) The owner’s manual also says users should maintain a clear line of sight and closely monitor the vehicle and its surroundings at all times. (tesla.com) Tesla says Summon behavior may differ depending on market region, vehicle configuration, purchased options, self-driving hardware and software version. ### How does this fit into Tesla’s recent FSD releases? Not a Tesla App’s posting of Tesla’s FSD v14.3.2 release notes said the company had “unified the model between Actually Smart Summon, FSD, and Robotaxi” for more capable and reliable behavior. (tesla.com) The same release notes listed parking-related changes including more decisive parking-spot selection and maneuvering, along with improvements in rare-object handling and recovery from temporary system degradations. That earlier note matters because the new Smart Summon speed increase arrives in the next point release, v14.3.3, rather than in a new major FSD generation. (tesla.com) Tesla has not published a standalone official support page for v14.3.3 release notes in the sources reviewed here, and third-party trackers described the 8 mph change as undocumented. ### Where can drivers verify whether they have it? Tesla says an available update will appear as a notification on the center touchscreen and in the Tesla app. The company recommends connecting the vehicle to Wi‑Fi and says drivers can manually check by opening Controls > Software. (notateslaapp.com) May 17 is the current rollout date cited by third-party trackers for 2026.14.6.6, and Tesla says update timing varies by configuration and region. For drivers waiting on Actually Smart Summon’s 8 mph cap, the next step is the same one Tesla lists for any over-the-air release: watch the app, connect to Wi‑Fi and check the Software tab in the vehicle.
