π UPDATE β July 20, 2026
Tesla VP of AI Ashok Elluswamy confirmed that 2026.20.6.10 is the wide release candidate for FSD v14 Lite on HW3/AI3 vehicles β meaning a broad rollout to older-hardware Teslas is likely imminent. This is the clearest official signal yet that the build is stable enough for mass deployment.
Additionally, this update ports several UI features previously exclusive to HW4/AI4 owners down to HW3/AI3 vehicles: FSD Stats, FSD Streaks, and the Park at Destination UI are all included in this build.
Bottom line for HW3/AI3 owners: If you haven't received 2026.20.6.10 yet, it may be headed your way very soon as part of a wide push.

π UPDATE β July 20, 2026
Tesla has enabled Self-Driving telemetry metrics for AI3 vehicles starting with 2026.20.6.10 (V14 Lite). Third-party platform Teslascope confirmed that AI3 owners will be automatically enrolled in tracking and leaderboard participation once they receive the update β no manual opt-in required. Teslascope Plus and Pro subscribers will additionally get per-drive Self-Driving usage recording enabled automatically. Expanded Self-Driving data visualizations are also coming to Teslascope's web and iOS apps within the next week.
π UPDATE β July 20, 2026
FSD (Supervised) v14 Lite has resumed its rollout through 2026.20.6.10 after a three-week pause, with new waves expected. Early access HW3/AI3 owners are the initial recipients of this build. The update adds a notable quality-of-life change to the "Start Self-Driving from Park" feature: owners can now disable Brake Confirm for the first time on HW3/AI3 hardware β meaning you'll no longer need to press and release the brake pedal before FSD activates from a parked state, streamlining the launch sequence. Watch for additional rollout waves throughout the day.
A new Tesla software update β version 2026.20.6.10 β has been detected rolling out to vehicles as of July 20, 2026. The build is a minor incremental release within the broader 2026.20 software branch. Feature details are still emerging, but if your car is eligible, there are a few things worth doing right now.
How to Check If You Have It
Point releases like .6.10 don't always announce themselves loudly β they can sit waiting on your car without a notification. Here's how to confirm whether the update has arrived:
- On your touchscreen, tap Controls β Software. Your current version is listed at the top.
- If you see 2026.20.6.10, the update is already installed.
- If you're on an earlier 2026.20.x build, tap Check for Updates β the car will poll Tesla's servers for any pending release.
- If nothing appears yet, that's normal. Incremental builds like this roll out in waves, often over several days.
How to Speed Up Delivery
Tesla's OTA rollouts are staged, but a few steps can move you toward the front of the queue:
- Connect to Wi-Fi. Cellular downloads work, but Tesla prioritizes Wi-Fi connections for update delivery. Park within range of your home network.
- Enable Software Preference: Advanced. Go to Controls β Software β Software Preference and select Advanced. This opts you into earlier access within your eligible build branch.
- Leave the car plugged in overnight. Tesla commonly pushes updates during off-peak hours when the vehicle is connected to power.
What We Know About 2026.20.6.10
