Tesla Full Self-Driving releases, real-world testing, and rollouts — tracked by a daily FSD driver in Kansas City.
UPDATED JUN 20, 2026Tesla began pushing FSD (Supervised) v14.3.4, firmware 2026.14.6.10, in mid-June 2026. The update brings Actually Smart Summon to the Cybertruck and adds FSD streak celebrations plus new arrival and parking options on the navigation map. Early testers report smoother low-speed behavior in construction zones, though some flagged a regression where the car misses highway exits and turns on rural roads.
In a June 2026 first-person test, Forbes contributor Brooke Crothers reported a Tesla FSD drive (v14.3.3) that required no interventions, including a moment where the car handled a lane-encroachment situation on its own. He argues the consumer system is getting harder to distinguish from a Level 4 driverless vehicle, while cautioning that no driver-assist system is perfect and that supervision still matters.
Canada FSD's Devin Olsen titled his v14.3.4 drive "The best that Tesla FSD has ever been," though he hedges it's better than 14.3.3 rather than perfect. He credits real wins — smoother construction zones and far less brake-stabbing for birds and pedestrians — while flagging persistent issues like speed-limit misreads and left-lane camping.
Roger's take: a little stutter on the 152 exit →After a roughly four-month break, longtime FSD tester Chuck Cook posted a v14.3 first-impressions drive putting the major under-the-hood rewrite through his familiar Jacksonville test routes. Cook's drives are a benchmark for how FSD handles tricky intersections and unprotected turns, making this a good reference point for the hardest scenarios.
Tesla expanded its unsupervised robotaxi service to the full Austin metropolitan area in early June 2026, a service zone of roughly 4,300 square miles. The fleet still runs on Model Y vehicles in both supervised and unsupervised configurations; the purpose-built Cybercab has entered production at Giga Texas but has not yet started carrying passengers. Cybercabs have been spotted being transported across the U.S. for testing and showroom display.
With software update 2026.16.6, Tesla started rolling FSD (Supervised) v14.3.3 to Hardware 4 cars in Australia and New Zealand, moving the region off the older v13 branch nearly a year after FSD first launched there. The international build trails the North American version: it omits the increased 8 mph Smart Summon speed and the unified Summon/FSD/Robotaxi model. Hardware 3 owners are still waiting on the forthcoming FSD v14 Lite build.
Tesla submitted FSD (Supervised) application documents to Taiwan's Vehicle Safety Certification Centre in mid-June 2026, starting the regulatory review for that market. In the same announcement, Tesla confirmed it will end one-time FSD purchases after June 30, 2026, moving to a subscription-only model. Owners who already bought FSD can still transfer it to a new vehicle ordered by September 30, 2026.
Tesla's referral program offers three months of free FSD (Supervised) on a new Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck, but only if you apply a referral link at the time of ordering. It can't be added retroactively, and you choose between the FSD trial and the cash-discount alternative, not both. Three months is a far longer real-world evaluation window than the standard 30-day trial before the monthly subscription begins.
