What should I expect from this Tesla update?

The screen shows software 2026.38.5.12 on a Model 3, with release notes for that build and the earlier 2026.38.3.1 and 2026.38. The headline item is Automatic Collision Evasion. Tesla's note says it activates Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to try to keep the car safe in two situations: an imminent frontal collision that you can't avoid by braking or steering yourself, and a case where the car detects you aren't attentive (for example, reaching toward the passenger seat) and Full Self-Driving may have been unintentionally disengaged. The on-screen text says to see the Owner's Manual for details.

What to expect in practice:

  • Driving behavior: the car may take over steering or braking in those specific situations. Keep your hands and eyes ready, because it's built as a last-resort assist, not a replacement for you.
  • Other items in the notes: the list also includes Dynamic Headlight, Halloween Mode, Emergency Drive Away and Security Improvements. Read the full notes on the car for the details of each.
  • Sentry: the screen shows 11 new Sentry events, so check the Dashcam Viewer if you want to see what the car recorded.

For a second opinion from other owners, the Tesla conversation here with the most detail is this thread on the same build, and this one covers how the collision feature works. I haven't checked independent reviews of how often the feature actually triggers, so treat its real-world behavior as unknown until owners report more.

Also discussed here:
- My friend just installed Tesla update 2026.38.3.2 - What should he know about it?
- I just installed Tesla 2026.38.5.11 update.
- What is the automatic collision evasion that Tesla updated my model three with today and how exactly does it work?

Can you give me the details of the other not shown updates in this release?

The screen shows the car's own release notes, so I can list what's there, though the photo only captures part of the page. Under 2026.38.5.12 the visible headings are Automatic Collision Evasion (already covered) and the FSD (Supervised) v14.3.13 entry, which has a Full Self-Driving (Supervised) line and a Security Improvements item. Under 2026.38.3.1 the visible items are Halloween Mode, Emergency Drive Away and another Security Improvements entry. Under 2026.38 the list is cut off at Dynamic Headlight.

The photo doesn't show the body text for those items, so I can't tell you what Halloween Mode, Emergency Drive Away or the Security Improvements entries actually change. The fastest accurate source is the release notes page on the car itself: tap Release Notes in the same Manual screen you photographed, then open each heading. Your owner's manual covers the feature details too.

If you tell me what each entry says in the car, I can help you make sense of it. The linked threads on this build may also describe what owners noticed after installing.

Are you able to do a web search for the relevant details?

I searched, and the details below come from third-party trackers that mirror Tesla's notes. I couldn't find a page for 2026.38.5.12 itself, so this covers the 2026.38 family (mostly 2026.38.3 to 2026.38.6). Your car's own Release Notes page is the authority, and details can differ by version and model.

  • Emergency Drive Away: lets you shift into Drive while a Supercharger cable is still connected. Tesla says driving off with the cable attached can damage your car and the charger, and you may pay for repairs, so it's for emergencies only. It works only at US Superchargers. Activating it shares short camera recordings with Tesla.
  • Halloween Mode: a ghost avatar on the screen, Trick or Treat Mode (sounds and flickering lights), a light show, and wraps and license plates. Intel cars get only the wraps and plates.
  • Dynamic Headlight Leveling: adjusts low beams on older HW3 Model 3 and Model Y cars with matrix LED headlights. Tesla Oracle reports it partly addresses an NHTSA recall over low-beam glare.
  • Visual Updates: sharper car images and an enhanced park scene on the center display.
  • Set Arrival Energy: you can choose how much battery you want when you arrive.
  • Supercharger Site Maps: a detailed view of select Superchargers.
  • Grok: the beta label has been removed.
  • Security Improvements: Tesla describes these only as "important security fixes and improvements," with no specifics published, so I can't tell you more about them.
