Arrival Options (part of 2026.2.9)

- You can now select an arrival option such as Parking Lot, Street, Driveway, Parking Garage and Curbside for Robotaxi-style drop offs.
- Your preferences for arrival options and preferred parking positions are persisted for each destination.
- Our reasoning model will assess the suitable options for your destination and pick an intuitive default.
- The navigation pin will be adjusted based on the selected Arrival Option.

2026.2.9 Speed Profiles

  • Seen on MX(2022+) MY CT
  • Seen on AP Hardware HW4
  • Seen on MCU hardware Ryzen

Speed Profiles (part of 2026.2.9)

FSD (Supervised) will now determine the appropriate speed based on a mix of driver profile, speed limit, and surrounding traffic.
- Introduced new Speed Profile SLOTH, which comes with lower speeds & more conservative lane selection than CHILL.
- Introduced new speed profile MAD MAX, which comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes than HURRY.
- Driver profile now has a stronger impact on behavior. The more assertive the profile, the higher the max speed.
- Right scroll-wheel up/down now adjusts Speed Profile setting rather than your precise max speed offset selection in mph/kph.

2026.2.9 UI Improvements

Brake Confirm (part of 2026.2.9)

Brake Confirm for the Start Self-Driving button is now defaulted off. When disabled, Start Self-Driving will not require you to press and release the brake to confirm engagement.
You can enable Brake Confirm in Self-Driving > Brake Confirm.

2026.2.9 Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
  • Seen in US
  • Seen on MX(2022+) MY CT
  • Seen on AP Hardware HW4
  • Seen on MCU hardware Ryzen

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) (part of 2026.2.9)

Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It will start from a parked position, make lane changes, select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate around other vehicles and objects, make left and right turns and park at your destination. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive. It does not make your vehicle autonomous. Do not become complacent.
Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled on your vehicle. To use the feature, press the Start Self-Driving button on the UI, or press the right scroll wheel button once. You can disable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Self-Driving Settings.

2026.2 Vision-Based Attention Monitoring

Vision-Based Attention Monitoring (part of 2026.2.6.5)

When Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled, the driver monitoring system primarily relies on the cabin camera to determine driver attentiveness. Cabin camera must have clear visibility (e.g., camera is not occluded, eyes, arms, are visible, there is sufficient cabin illumination, and the driver is looking forward at the road without sunglasses, or other objects covering their eyes). In other circumstances, the driver monitoring system will primarily rely on torque-based (steering wheel) monitoring to detect driver attentiveness.
If the cabin camera detects inattentiveness, a warning will appear. The warning can be dismissed by the driver immediately reverting their attention back to the road ahead. Warnings will escalate depending on the nature and frequency of detected inattentiveness, with continuous inattention leading to a Strikeout.

Unlatching Charge Cable (part of 2026.2.3)

Charging can now be stopped and the charge cable released by pulling and holding the rear left door handle for 3 seconds, provided the vehicle is unlocked or a recognized key is nearby. This is especially useful when the charge cable unlatch button does not work or a charging adapter is stuck in the charge port. You can still release the cable using the vehicle touchscreen or the Tesla app.
