Tesla has begun rolling out its highly anticipated 2025 Spring Update, labeled as version 2025.14. Tesla owners, such as Stian Walgermo, have already received the update and shared their insights on the new features and improvements. According to Walgermo, the Spring Update introduces a wider field of view for Sentry Mode, an updated camera UI with the repeater camera now positioned at the top during driving and reversing, and a new option for Sentry Mode Auto Enabled in Park. However, there seems to be a minor bug in this update where the radio continues to play after the car locks.
The release notes for the 2025.14 update include several notable enhancements. One of the key features is the introduction of Alternative Trip Plans, allowing users to choose from multiple trip plans based on their travel preferences. These include the Fastest route for the quickest journey, Best Amenities which prioritizes stops near highly rated establishments, and Fewer Stops that minimizes charging stops.
Another significant addition is the ability to Avoid Highways, giving Tesla drivers the option to select routes that bypass major roads whenever possible. This feature can be enabled through the Controls > Navigation > Avoid Highways settings.
The update also brings improvements to the Dashcam functionality and introduces Side Camera Recording. Users can now customize and save the trunk’s opening height for specific locations, such as their garage, making it more convenient for everyday use. Additionally, Keyboard Languages have been updated, allowing users to easily switch between input languages on the touchscreen keyboard.
A new feature called Keep Accessory Power On has been added, enabling users to keep low voltage outlets, USB ports, and the wireless phone charger powered even after exiting the vehicle, as long as the battery remains above 20%. This feature can be enabled through the Controls > Charging > Keep Accessory Power On settings.
In addition to these major updates, the 2025 Spring Update includes several minor enhancements such as showing nearby establishments on charger location pages, filtering media search results by sources for faster access, shuffling Apple Music playlists with over 100 songs, and displaying upcoming songs on YouTube Music via the new ‘Up Next’ media player view. Users can also choose to show or hide non-Tesla chargers in Navigation settings, benefit from a wider field of view on the rear camera for improved visibility, and enjoy seamless auto-connectivity to hotspots while driving.
Overall, the 2025 Spring Update for Tesla vehicles brings a host of new features, improvements, and security fixes, enhancing the driving experience for Tesla owners. As the update continues to roll out to more users, it is expected to further streamline and optimize the functionality of Tesla vehicles.
