Tesla didn't say a word about it in the release notes, but Smart Summon just got meaningfully faster with FSD V14.3.3 (software version 2026.14.6.6). The maximum speed for Smart Summon on AI4 vehicles has climbed to 8 mph (13 km/h) — up from the 6 mph cap that held through FSD V14.3.2. That's a 33% increase, and Tesla buried it without a single line of official documentation.
The discovery comes from Teslascope, which tracks Tesla software changes closely, and was quickly amplified by Whole Mars Catalog. The timing matters: this isn't the first time Tesla has quietly pushed Smart Summon improvements without flagging them. According to previous community tracking, FSD V14.3.2 had already made Smart Summon noticeably snappier — with reports of reaction times and steering smoothness improving significantly — but the top speed remained capped at 6 mph. V14.3.3 appears to have nudged that ceiling up without announcement.
Evidence
The speed increase was identified directly by Teslascope through software analysis of 2026.14.6.6 on AI4 hardware. No official Tesla release notes for this version reference a Smart Summon speed change. The 33% figure is mathematically consistent: 6 mph to 8 mph is exactly a one-third improvement. At this stage, the change appears limited to AI4 vehicles — owners on HW3 should not expect the same behavior.
For AI4 owners who use Smart Summon regularly in parking lots, the practical difference is real. At 8 mph, the car covers ground noticeably quicker and should feel less hesitant when navigating longer distances to reach you. Whether Tesla intends to document this change in a future release note — or simply let it ride quietly — remains to be seen. It fits a pattern of incremental Smart Summon tuning that has accelerated alongside the broader FSD V14 rollout. Keep an eye on your software version under Controls → Software, and if you're on 2026.14.6.6, it's worth taking Smart Summon for a spin to feel the difference firsthand.
