Video by Matt Goes Electric via YouTube
Tesla automatically updates the maps in the cars quietly in the background over Wi-Fi, separately to the main over-the-air software updates. In this Short I show you exactly how it works.
Even on though my car is still currently using the older EU-2025.14 map, one particular junction that my car has avoided for over a year is now being routed correctly for the first time – proof that Tesla can improve navigation behaviour without a full map refresh. The new 2026 European map update is rolling out right now, so expect that soon – if your car is connected to WiFi.
The vehicle in this video is a 2024 Tesla Model Y RWD (MCU3/HW3) with the 62.5kWh (60,5 kWh usable) LFP battery and at the time of filming this running on software version 2026.14.6.
This video was filmed in June 2026.
