- Tesla released FSD V14.3.3, raising the top speed of Actually Smart Summon from 6 mph to 8 mph (33% increase).
- Actually Smart Summon now reaches 8 mph, cutting a 200‑foot lot travel time by roughly six seconds.
- AI4 hardware is required for the speed boost; older HW3‑equipped vehicles remain limited to 6 mph.
- Tesla unified its AI model across consumer FSD, the Robotaxi fleet, and Summon, giving the feature the same neural network used for highway driving.
- NHTSA cleared Tesla’s investigation of Actually Smart Summon after finding no injuries, allowing the speed increase to proceed.
Why it matters: Owners of AI4‑equipped Teslas save roughly six seconds per summon, improving convenience and showcasing Tesla’s faster autonomous tech, which could accelerate adoption of its robotaxi fleet in Dallas and Houston.
