Tesla has just announced the release of its highly anticipated 2025 Spring software update, which will bring a plethora of new features and enhancements to its lineup of vehicles. This update will be available soon for eligible vehicles in both Canada and the United States, offering a mix of safety upgrades, convenience features, and entertainment tweaks.
One of the key highlights of the 2025 Spring software update is the focus on driver safety and visibility. Tesla has introduced several new features aimed at enhancing the overall driving experience and ensuring the safety of both the driver and passengers. For example, Adaptive Headlights have been added, allowing headlights to adjust to oncoming traffic and cyclists by dimming specific sections, enabling drivers to keep their high beams on more often. Additionally, the Blind Spot Camera on the Driver Screen feature, available on the new Model S and X, provides a camera feed directly on the instrument panel to assist drivers in monitoring blind spots.
In terms of navigation and trip planning, Tesla has introduced new functionalities to make travel more convenient and efficient. Users now have the option to choose from alternative trip plans, including routes with the fastest travel time, the best amenities, or fewer stops for minimal charging. Furthermore, an “Avoid Highways” option has been added for users who prefer slower, scenic routes and wish to avoid highways during their journey.
The Autopilot and Driving Comfort category has also received updates, with enhancements to the overall driving experience. Tesla has introduced new customization options for the trunk and frunk, allowing drivers to save trunk and frunk heights by location for added convenience. This feature is available for Model 3, Model Y, the new Model S and X, and the Cybertruck.
In the realm of touchscreen and media improvements, Tesla has made several enhancements to the user interface and media player. Users now have the ability to switch keyboard languages on the touchscreen, keep accessory power on for USB ports, wireless chargers, and outlets after leaving the vehicle, and enjoy media player tweaks such as filtering search results by source and shuffling Apple Music playlists with over 100 songs.
Tesla has stated that the 2025 Spring software update will be rolled out gradually, with features dependent on hardware and model year. Users are advised to keep an eye on their in-car notifications for availability. Overall, this update signifies Tesla’s commitment to enhancing the driving experience for its customers and staying at the forefront of automotive technology.
