A recent update to the Tesla app has unveiled a slew of exciting features and changes that are on the horizon. Thanks to a thorough code breakdown by Tesla_App_iOS on X, we now have a sneak peek into what Tesla has in store for its users. Here’s a breakdown of the upcoming updates:
- Updated Safety Score: The Tesla Insurance Safety Score may soon take into account the percentage of time spent using Full Self-Driving (FSD), potentially leading to discounts for frequent FSD users.
- New Trip View: The Safety Score Trip View is getting a redesign, showing FSD usage as a percentage of time rather than just miles traveled.
- Tesla Diner Integration: References to the LA Tesla Diner under construction hint at its imminent opening. The app will have a dedicated interface for ordering food and services while at the diner.
- Roadside Assistance Updates: Live activity tracking during roadside service could be introduced, allowing users to track updates in real-time.
- Safety Score Reset: Users may soon have the ability to request a reset of their Safety Score or dispute penalties for events that they believe did not occur.
- Battery and Charging Info: The app will now display how long it takes to heat the battery before charging and support filtering Superchargers capable of up to 325 kW.
- Cybertruck Details: The upcoming rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Cybertruck will feature a manual tonneau cover but may not include standard AC outlets.
- Blocked Supercharging Alerts: Users will receive notifications if their car is blocked from using Superchargers, along with an explanation for the block.
- Range Estimates: A new feature will estimate vehicle range based on age and mileage when connected to the internet.
- Improved Key Features: Android devices may gain Ultra-Wideband (UWB) support for enhanced key functionality, along with troubleshooting tips if the Bluetooth/UWB key isn’t functioning properly.
The mention of a cheaper RWD Cybertruck has sparked curiosity about its cost and the features it will offer. While it may come at a lower price point, some key features like a power tonneau cover may not be included, which may disappoint some potential buyers. The LA Diner integration is highly anticipated and promises to offer a unique experience for Tesla owners.
It’s exciting to see Tesla continuously innovating and improving its app to enhance the user experience. These upcoming features and changes are sure to delight Tesla enthusiasts and make owning a Tesla even more rewarding.
