Cybertruck finally gets Tesla's Actually Smart Summon feature (videos)

Tesla finally deployed the Actually Smart Summon (ASS) feature to the Cybertruck in the FSD v14.3.4 (2026.14.6.10) software update.

Before this update, Tesla’s electric pickup truck couldn’t perform Summon. As the name suggests, Tesla owners can call their vehicles to them or ask them to stop at a parking lot destination using the Tesla mobile app.

With the Summon feature, Tesla vehicles act like remote-controlled cars. The difference is, they’re not toys for kids, but real vehicles for adults.

Tesla Summon has two versions, Dumb Summon and Actually Smart Summon (aka ASS). Dumb Summon works in a straight line, either forward or reverse.

ASS, on the other hand, uses Tesla FSD Vision AI to navigate a parking lot or a similar complex space totally autonomously. Before the rollout of the 2026.14.6.10 (FSD v14.3.4) update, Cybertruck lacked this feature.

Tesla increased the Actually Smart Summon speed from 6 mph (~10 km/h) to 8 mph (13 km/h) in the last FSD v14.3.3 update. However, after looking at the testing videos (watch below), it seems Tesla did not increase the Summon speed for the Cybertruck. As it’s a large vehicle compared to a car, Tesla did not increase the speed for safety reasons.

Interestingly, Tesla Cybertruck owners are using Actually Smart Summon by standing in the back of the truck. It’s not necessary that you summon your Tesla to your location; you can give it a pin location that it will drive itself to.

As we can see in the video above, the Tesla app highlights the Summon operating area with a blue circle on the navigation screen. This blue circle is the maximum limit that Tesla Summon works in; however, as a Tesla vehicle moves forward, the fenced area circle also moves along with it.

Tesla’s Actually Smart Summon stops the vehicle where it feels that it’s hitting public roads. It also stalls the vehicle if it’s not able to operate anymore. Tesla hasn’t yet added the functionality that allows the Summon vehicle to park or pull over if it ends up in a scenario where it can’t move further.

Glare Blocking FSD Cameras on Cybertruck

During the Cybertruck Smart Summon testing, Chuck Cook faced a unique scenario. The Cybertruck abandoned Summon, and it was due to the glaring sunlight.

Although Chuck had cleaned the windshield earlier in the morning, Cybertruck cameras were blinded by the shining sunlight. So far, this has been the first time we’ve seen that Tesla Vision is blocked by the sun’s glare, and it has only happened on the Cybertruck.

The Tesla AI team must already be looking into this issue, as they keep a close eye on Chuck Cook’s FSD testing, because of his unbiased views and feedback.
