Speed Profiles

Included in 2026.2.9

FSD (Supervised) will now determine the appropriate speed based on a mix of driver profile, speed limit, and surrounding traffic.

  • Introduced new speed profile MAD MAX, which comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes than HURRY.
  • Driver profile now has a stronger impact on behavior. The more assertive the profile, the higher the max speed.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised)

Included in 2026.2.9

Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It will start from a parked position, make lane changes, select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate around other vehicles and objects, make left and right turns and park at your destination. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive. It does not make your vehicle autonomous. Do not become complacent.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled on your vehicle. To use the feature, press the Start Self-Driving button on the UI, or press the right scroll wheel button once. You can disable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Self-Driving Settings.

Grok with Navigation Commands (Beta)

Included in 2026.2.9
Available on
Model 3Model YCybertruckModel S (Refresh)Model X (Refresh)

You can now talk to Grok, an intelligent assistant built by xAI. You can choose Grok's voice and personality, ranging from Storyteller to Unhinged.

Grok can add and edit navigation destinations, becoming your personal guide. You can ask Grok to navigate to the best Thai restaurant near you, find a Supercharger within walking distance of a coffee shop, or even plan a romantic sightseeing tour. Requires Premium Connectivity or a WiFi connection. Conversations are anonymous to Tesla and not associated with your vehicle.

To launch Grok, go to App Launcher > Grok, or long-press the voice button on your steering wheel after you have logged in to Grok. Set Grok's personality to Assistant to use Navigation Commands.

Note: Grok is currently in early Beta and does not support voice commands for car controls other than navigation. Existing voice commands remain unchanged.
