A recent decompile of Tesla’s iOS app by Tesla App Updates has uncovered a plethora of upcoming features, hinting at the company’s plans to enhance its in-app capabilities. These features include a potential expansion of the Early Access Program, improvements to Supercharger management, and increased transparency around Full Self-Driving (FSD) updates.
One of the key findings from the app decompile is the ability for Tesla owners to enroll or withdraw from the Early Access Program directly through the app. This program allows participants to test pre-release software, including potential FSD updates, and provide feedback to Tesla. The addition of a header image to the Early Access section in the app suggests that Tesla may be gearing up to open the program to a wider pool of drivers, possibly in conjunction with testing unsupervised FSD.
Additionally, the app update indicates that Tesla is working on a Supercharger Queue system, which would allow users to join a virtual line for a charging stall, request more time, or manage their place in the queue. This feature aims to improve access at busy charging locations and reduce wait times for users.
Another notable addition is an alert system that will inform users of the version of FSD they will receive before subscribing. This move is likely aimed at minimizing confusion and refund requests when new FSD versions are rolled out to different users at varying times.
Furthermore, Tesla is also focusing on enhancing its robotaxi features, with new text strings related to cleanliness feedback. This feature may enable riders to rate the condition of the vehicle after a trip.
The app update also includes backend updates related to dashcam footage controls, watch app energy tracking, and status messages for vehicle charging and sentry modes. These updates could be connected to upcoming support for iOS Live Activities and the iPhone’s Dynamic Island feature.
Moreover, the app now includes detailed privacy language outlining the data Tesla collects during Early Access participation, such as diagnostic logs, GPS data, and camera footage. This data is linked to the vehicle’s VIN and stored separately from standard customer data. Participation in the program is voluntary, and users can opt out at any time by contacting Tesla.
While these features have not been officially announced, their presence in the app suggests that broader testing or a phased rollout may be on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates as Tesla continues to innovate and improve its app experience for users.
