Update 2024.26 brought a slew of features such as YouTube Music, but in the latest revisions of 2024.26, Tesla has added a couple more.
Update 2024.26.7 has added an Autopilot change (addressed as a recall) in Europe recall, and 2024.26.8 adds improvements to Automatic Emergency Braking.
European Camera OTA Recall
On build 2024.26.7, Tesla is addressing EU Recall Submission “2024_23366”. This specific recall submission requires that if any vehicle sensors are partially or completely obstructed or blinded, they must be cleared before Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), like Autopilot, are available.
For Teslas, this was an OTA update that simply adds increased checks on the door pillar cameras, and renders Autopilot features unavailable until the cameras are cleaned or unobstructed. This recall is only relevant in the European Union and the UK and does not affect vehicles in North America, China, or other markets.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Meanwhile, build 2024.26.8 adds improvements to Tesla’s Automatic Emergency Braking system. AEB is a vital part of vehicle safety, and Tesla’s AEB system is one of the best. 2024.26.8 expands the scenario set that AEB can respond to.
These additional scenarios aren’t discussed in the vehicle manual or on Tesla’s website anywhere yet, but we expect some deeper notes on when, where, and what these AEB improvements can react to, to show up sometime soon. Either way, it's good to see Tesla is maintaining a focus on safety, even if Teslas are by and far one of the safest vehicles.
Tesla more recently added a set of AEB improvements to MCU1 vehicles, but it’s not clear whether those improvements also include the improvements found in 2024.26.8. One good thing is that AEB is automatically enabled by default on every drive, so these improvements will be ready to keep you safe as soon as you update. With Tesla’s new parental controls, you can also prevent this critical feature from being turned off accidentally.

According to filings found by Kees Roelandschap on X, Tesla has obtained a 2-year exemption from UNECE autonomy regulations to run FSD Supervised on public roads in Norway. This marks one of the first positive developments for regulations and autonomy in Europe — great news for European customers.
Previously, European transportation agencies stressed additional caution and requested more time to legislate, further delaying the widespread UNECE regulation changes for autonomous vehicles.
Norwegian FSD - Employees Only
Following the recent approval from the Norwegian Road Authority, Tesla will be permitted to use its Supervised vehicles on public roads in a testing capacity. This exemption does not yet apply to customers, so we will have to wait and see how testing progresses.
Tesla will specifically be allowed to run FSD V13 and its derivative builds (meaning AI4 vehicles only) with automated steering and speed controls on EU-registered and approved vehicles.
Tesla will also be required to have Tesla-trained drivers (employees) conduct the testing. There is no specific policy in place that enables the use of FSD for customers at this time. However, as testing is conducted and bureaucratic hurdles are overcome across various transportation departments, Tesla may be able to extend the offer to European customers. According to Tesla’s latest earnings call, the company still plans to release FSD in Europe by the end of the year.

Article 39 Exemption
The UNECE can grant exemptions for innovative technologies that move faster than legislation under Article 39. However, Tesla requires the backing of a national ministry of transport to bring this to the UNECE’s attention. The next round of voting on critical issues is expected on May 12, 2025, which may not leave Tesla much time to present its findings to UNECE.
We don’t expect Tesla to receive authorization immediately. It may take several weeks or months of testing from the Netherlands or Norway teams before one of the two countries is willing to support Tesla’s exemption bid.
However, if Tesla achieves an Article 39 exemption, it could allow Tesla to roll out FSD to customers across Europe, provided there are no country-level exemptions.
Following customer requests, Tesla has once again returned FSD Transfers for North America. This comes after some new details we received on FSD Supervised and Unsupervised at the recent Q1 2025 Earnings Call.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei … FSD Transfer is back
All countries (in NA), all S3XY + @cybertruck (excl Foundation Series & Launch Series)
This latest round of FSD transfers doesn’t have a specific time limit - so if you’re in the market for a new vehicle and were worried about transferring FSD from a HW3 vehicle - now is the best chance.
This transfer opportunity is applicable for any new vehicle purchases, including the Model S, 3, X, Y, as well as the Cybertruck. The only vehicles it doesn’t apply to are the Foundation-Series Cybertruck or a Launch-Series Model Y, which already come with FSD included.
If you’re conducting an FSD transfer, you’ll need to reach out to your Tesla delivery coordinator through the Tesla app to confirm you’re eligible and to get the process started.
Note that once you take delivery, FSD access is removed from your older vehicle, regardless if you plan to trade in your vehicle or keep it.
Canada and Mexico
For those in Canada and Mexico, there’s some good news. This opportunity is available for customers in those countries as well, however, new vehicle orders are currently paused in Canada and Mexico for unknown reasons.
