Tesla rolls out its Spring Update 2026 software, bringing over a dozen new features to its fleet. Highlights include a redesigned Self-Driving subscription app, voice-activated Grok, and a long-requested auto-install feature for software updates.

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.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
