Tesla Rolls Out Spring Update 2026 with Hey Grok, FSD App
Tesla deploys Spring Update 2026 with over a dozen features, including voice-activated Grok and a redesigned Self-Driving app for HW4 vehicles. The update introduces one-tap FSD subscriptions at $99.99/month and gamified stats to encourage uptake.
The update adds fun touches like a new “Cyberhog” Pet Mode character and custom virtual wraps for Model S and X owners.
The biggest functional change targets vehicles running Tesla's AI4 (HW4) hardware. The new Self-Driving app lets owners subscribe to Full Self-Driving (Supervised) with a single tap at $99.99 per month. It provides a dedicated stats dashboard.
The stats tab tracks Self-Driving usage with a daily streak counter and a breakdown of total miles driven with and without the feature active. Electrek notes this gamifies the experience to nudge owners into subscribing and keeping their subscription.
