Elon Musk has previewed a Full Self-Driving upgrade aimed squarely at one of the feature's most persistent irritations: where the car decides to park once it arrives. In a post on 17 June 2026, Musk said that upcoming FSD releases "will remember your parking preferences, so that the car goes to the right location at your home, office, school drop off, etc." He framed the change as a fix for the single biggest source of driver intervention today, adding that "destination parking is by far the biggest reason people now intervene with FSD."
What Musk is promising
The idea is that FSD would learn an owner's habits rather than simply taking the first available space. Over time the system would recognise that you reverse into your driveway at home, that you favour a particular corner of the office car park, or that the school run ends at a specific drop-off point — and then repeat those choices without being asked. Today FSD can navigate to an address, but the final manoeuvre into a bay is exactly where many owners still take back control.
Building on what just shipped
The promise lands only days after Tesla added new destination-parking options in FSD v14.3.4, the build that also brought Actually Smart Summon to the Cybertruck. That release gave drivers more say over where the car ends up; Musk's comments suggest the next step is to make those choices automatic and personalised — learned from each driver's routine rather than configured by hand each time.
A timeline claim, not a release
It is worth being precise about what has and has not been confirmed. Musk described the feature as arriving in "upcoming releases," with no version number, rollout percentage or firm date attached. Tesla ships new FSD builds every few weeks, so the capability could appear relatively soon — but until it is in official release notes and running on cars, it remains a stated intention from the CEO rather than a shipped feature. Tesla's record on Musk's FSD timelines is mixed, and announced features have slipped before.
Why it matters for European owners
For the growing number of European drivers now running FSD (Supervised) — the feature is live in the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark and Belgium — smarter parking would address a tangible, everyday friction point. Tight European driveways, multi-storey car parks and narrow city kerbs are precisely the situations where drivers tend to intervene. A system that remembers how you like to park at the handful of places you visit most could meaningfully cut the number of takeovers — which is also the very metric Tesla leans on when it argues the technology keeps getting safer. For now, owners will have to wait for a release that turns the promise into something they can actually use.
