Tesla has begun pushing firmware 2026.32.7 to a small slice of the fleet. As of September 23, 2026, TeslaFi is tracking 160 total installs with near-zero fleet-wide coverage — meaning this is the very front edge of a staged rollout. If you haven't seen it yet, that's expected. Here's what the 2026.32 branch contains and exactly how to get in line.
What's in the 2026.32 Branch
Tesla hasn't published a standalone changelog for 2026.32.7 yet, but the branch was opened by 2026.32.3 on September 9, 2026, and that version carried several meaningful changes. Based on verified tracker data, the 2026.32 line includes:
| Change | Type | Models |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel Selection option | Official | 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck |
| Apple Music entry reprinted | Official | 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck |
| Built-in browser ad blocker | Official | 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck |
| Security fixes | Official | 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck |
| EU Recall 2026_103555 remedy — pole side impact | Official | Model 3, Model Y |
Version 2026.32.6 — the immediate predecessor, first spotted September 19 — doesn't have a public changelog yet, and 2026.32.7 may carry additional refinements on top of it. Treat the table above as the confirmed baseline for this branch; any additions will be noted as the rollout matures.
Is Your Car Eligible?
Hardware matters here. The 2026.32 branch is confirmed eligible for vehicles running an AMD infotainment computer. Older MCU1 and MCU2 (Intel-based) cars are not supported. In practical terms, that covers:
- Model 3 (2021 refresh and later)
- Model Y (all production years)
- Model S and Model X (post-2021 refresh — existing customer-owned vehicles continue to receive OTA updates normally)
- Cybertruck (all)
If you're unsure which compute hardware your car has, go to Controls → Software → Additional Vehicle Information. The infotainment chip will be listed there.
How to Check and Install
With only 160 installs tracked so far, most owners won't see a notification yet. A staged rollout at this scale typically takes days to weeks to reach meaningful fleet coverage. That said, there are a few things you can do to stay ahead of it.
- Check your current version. Tap Controls → Software. Your installed version appears at the top. If you're already on 2026.32.3 or 2026.32.6, you're on this branch and may receive .7 as a minor patch.
- Enable Advanced Updates. Go to Controls → Software → Software Update Preference and set it to Advanced. This opts you into earlier access during staged rollouts.
- Stay connected to Wi-Fi overnight. Tesla downloads updates in the background while the car is parked and on Wi-Fi. A strong home network connection is the single most reliable way to receive updates promptly.
- Don't force-restart to trigger it. A soft reboot won't pull an update that hasn't been assigned to your VIN. The queue is server-side — patience is the actual strategy here.
- Track rollout progress. You can monitor how widely 2026.32.7 is spreading at TeslaFi's firmware detail page. When the install count climbs into the thousands, your notification is likely close.
Rollout Status — 2026.32.7
~160 installs tracked • Fleet coverage: <1% • Source: TeslaFi / NotATeslaApp • As of Sept 23, 2026
The 2026.32 branch has been active since early September, so the infrastructure is proven. Version .7 appears to be an incremental update within an already-stable line — not a major feature drop, but worth having for the security fixes and the EU recall remedy if either applies to your car. Keep Wi-Fi on, set Advanced Updates, and let Tesla's servers do the rest.
