Tesla software update 2026.2.9, released on February 28, 2026, covers vehicle convenience, supervised driving, entertainment and software maintenance. Its 12 documented entries explain changes to the ownership experience, from the features used inside the cabin to the software operating behind them. Availability depends on the vehicle and the requirements of each entry.
FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5 is listed for Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y and Cybertruck with HW4. Availability follows the requirements of each entry; the update number alone does not identify which driving branch a vehicle receives.
Active Road Noise Reduction uses seat microphones and speakers to reduce low-frequency noise in selected Cybertrucks. Autopilot Naming Update changes navigation and computer labels while preserving feature behavior. Unlatching Charge Cable uses a three-second hold of the rear-left handle on Model 3 and Model Y. Child Left Alone Detection alerts through exterior lights, sound and the app on newer Model Y.
FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5 refines arrival choices, detours, gates, debris handling and recovery from system limitations. Arrival Options saves parking or drop-off preferences separately for each destination. Speed Profiles uses driver preferences, road limits and traffic to select driving pace. MAD MAX adds a more assertive option than HURRY. UI Improvements puts driving preferences directly in the center display visualization. Driving statistics and touchscreen activation are also documented. Arrival preferences can be adjusted there as well.
Brake Confirm makes the activation pedal-confirmation step configurable and defaults it off in this entry. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) assists route following and maneuvers while the driver supervises.
Grok with Navigation Commands (Beta) edits destinations in Assistant mode on AMD Ryzen vehicles with connectivity.
Minor Fixes covers smaller software corrections and refinements.
Driving assistance continues to require continuous driver supervision. The documented capabilities can include features carried forward within the same software branch.
