Tesla owners down under have been patiently waiting to catch up with the latest version of Full Self-Driving (Supervised). While North American drivers have been testing the latest iterations of the software stack, the Oceanic market has been lagging behind. Fortunately, the wait is officially over.
According to the release notes for software update 2026.16.6, Tesla has started rolling out FSD (Supervised) version 14 in Australia and New Zealand. The exact build making its way to vehicles is FSD v14.3.3, and it is currently landing on Hardware 4 (HW4/AI4) vehicles.
This regional update comes just under a year after Tesla first launched FSD in Australia and New Zealand, initially bringing v13 to HW4 cars. While other international markets that have received FSD since, like South Korea, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Denmark, have hopped straight onto v14, Australia and New Zealand remained stuck on the older branch. Tesla confirmed earlier this month that FSD v14 was coming to Oceania soon, and the deployment is finally happening. This rollout fits into a broader push to align the global fleet on the latest software, with China, where FSD was released in a limited capacity even before Australia and New Zealand, on track to get FSD v14 soon as well.

While getting the v14 stack is great news, this international release doesn’t quite mirror the North American variant line-for-line. It includes the unskippable FSD disengagement feedback menu, which first showed up in FSD v14.3.2, but the official local release documentation skips over a couple of major features present in the North American version.
Specifically, the notes do not mention the increased 8mph maximum speed for Actually Smart Summon (ASS) or the unification of the Summon, FSD, and commercial Robotaxi models. Here are the missing release notes:
–Actually Smart Summon max speed is now increased to 8mph (13km/h).(Added in FSD v14.3.3 in North America, not available on Cybertruck)
–Unified the model between Actually Smart Summon, FSD, and Robotaxi for more capable and reliable behavior.
The model unification, in particular, made Actually Smart Summon a lot more usable. Right now, it is unclear if Tesla simply omitted the text from the region's release notes or if the underlying ASS code was stripped out for the local market. Furthermore, the Oceanic build misses out on the newer FSD streak celebrations and arrival parking options on the navigation map that dropped with version 14.3.4.
For now, this update remains completely exclusive to newer HW4 cars. Owners driving older Hardware 3 vehicles will have to sit tight a little longer. Tesla is currently developing FSD v14 Lite for older hardware, which is a distilled, optimized model engineered to deliver the same feature set as the main v14 branch on older FSD computers. Once FSD v14 Lite launches and clears validation testing, it will expand internationally to HW3 owners, including those in Australia and New Zealand, to ensure older models don’t get left behind as Tesla’s autonomy stack scales globally.
