Tesla update 2026.2 adds undocumented changes to menus and maps

Tesla's software update 2026.2 includes several unlisted modifications, such as renaming Autopilot features to Self-Driving and expanding 3D Supercharger maps to Europe. These changes enhance user interfaces and service diagnostics across multiple models. The update simplifies map version displays and improves ECU status monitoring.

Tesla released update 2026.2, which contains various minor features not mentioned in the official release notes. Among the changes, the Autopilot tab under Controls has been renamed Self-Driving. Similarly, the Autopilot menu's “Autopilot Features” section is now called “Self-Driving Features,” allowing selection between TACC, Autosteer, or Full Self-Driving options under this menu, aligning with recent naming updates in the system. This reflects Tesla's ongoing rebranding efforts for its driving assistance technologies. Published on March 16, 2026, the update also alters how map versions appear in the Software menu. Previously, it listed the full details including region, version, and build; now it shows only the region and version, for example, NA-2025.44. A notable addition expands 3D Supercharger site maps to Europe, following their debut in 18 U.S. sites during the 2025 Holiday Update. New maps cover at least two sites in Belgium: Brugge and Heusden-Zolder. These 3D layouts depict accurate site configurations, including charger positions relative to parking spots, handicap- and trailer-friendly stalls. Coupled with live data, they indicate occupied spots and display 3D models of charging Tesla vehicles or generic models for non-Tesla EVs. While 3D models require vehicles with AMD Ryzen infotainment units, the maps are viewable by anyone searching the location. In Service Mode, the ECU Update Status panel now incorporates non-Controller Area Network (CAN) Electronic Control Units, such as Autopilot processors and the Telematics Control Unit (TCU). This applies to Model S (2021+), Model 3, Model X (2021+), Model Y, and Cybertruck. Meanwhile, Tesla has begun rolling out update 2026.8, which includes Comfort Braking limited to the new Model Y due to its braking system.

Tesla has released software update 2026.2.9, renaming several driver-assistance features to distance itself from the 'Autopilot' name amid regulatory scrutiny. The changes include 'Navigate on Autopilot' becoming 'Navigate on Autosteer' and the 'FSD Computer' being updated to 'AI Computer'. The update affects only text and names, with no changes to functionality.

Tesla's software update 2026.2.6, announced by its Europe division on February 16, 2026, deploys xAI's Grok AI assistant to vehicles in nine countries including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, Portugal, and Spain. The free over-the-air update requires AMD Ryzen hardware and Premium Connectivity, while adding safety detections, charging improvements, enhanced mapping, and more.

A leak from Tesla's backend code indicates that the 2026 Model 3 will feature a black Alcantara-style headliner and a 16-inch QHD center display. These upgrades, spotted in EU and Asia-Pacific configurator assets, aim to align the Model 3 more closely with the Model Y. Production is expected to begin at Giga Shanghai soon.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology is set to expand to Japan in 2026, according to the president of its Japanese subsidiary. Employee test drives have already shown positive results, paving the way for regulatory approval. This move comes amid strong sales growth for the company in the country.
