Tesla FSD v14 Lite finally goes wide release

Tesla (TSLA) has started sending large waves of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Lite AI software update to HW3 cars with the latest point release version 2026.20.6.11 (read the complete release notes).

Owners of the legacy Hardware 3 (HW3)-equipped Tesla cars started getting the FSD v14 Lite (2026.20.6.11) update on Tuesday, July 21.

The company’s head of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, had announced that version 2026.20.6.10 of the FSD v14 Lite would go into wide release. But Tesla decided to make a quick bug-fix update and started pushing the new 2026.20.6.11 point release to a larger number of Tesla HW3 cars.

Interestingly, Tesla has merged the firmware version for both FSD v14 Lite and FSD v14.3.6, which is 2026.20.6.11. This shows that HW3 Tesla cars with the 2026.20.6.11 update have the latest distilled features as HW4 cars on FSD v14.3.6.

However, HW3 cars will never be as capable as HW4 ones, because of compute limitations for the large FSD AI model. The FSD v14.3.6 update is purely for Hardware 4 (HW4/AI4) vehicles, while the FSD v14 Lite is for HW3 Teslas.

FSD v14 Lite (2026.20.6.11) Rollout Status

The FSD v14 Lite (2026.20.6.11) update was first spotted on July 21. However, on the first day of its release, it was distributed to a very limited number of Tesla HW3 cars.

On July 22, Tesla started pushing it to more users. Today (July 23), an even larger wave has started going out. The graph below shows the constant upward increase of the FSD v14 Lite (2026.20.6.11) over-the-air (OTA) software update distribution.

Closely looking at tracking data at TeslaFi.com and Tessie, Tesla is currently only rolling out the FSD v14 Lite (2026.20.6.11) update to its HW3 customer cars in the United States and Canada.

As of this writing, around ~18% of the Tesla HW3 fleet in the US and Canada have received FSD v14 Lite (2026.20.6.11).

It looks like Tesla HW3 car owners in Europe will have to wait for the FSD v14 Lite update a bit more, even though HW4 owners in 5 European countries are enjoying Full Self-Driving on their cars.
