Tesla has just unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 Holiday Update, set to be released via over-the-air update next week. This update is jam-packed with new features and enhancements across safety, navigation, personalization, and entertainment, making it a must-have for all Tesla owners.
One of the standout features of this update is the addition of the Tesla app on the Apple Watch. Now, Tesla owners can use their Apple Watch as a phone key, check battery charge levels, open the frunk, and control climate settings right from their wrist. This convenient integration streamlines the user experience and adds a new level of functionality to the Apple Watch.
Another exciting feature is the ability to save Dashcam and Sentry Mode clips directly to your phone through the Tesla app. This makes it easier to review and share footage captured by your Tesla’s cameras, enhancing the overall security and convenience of these features.
For stalkless Model 3 owners, the update introduces the ability to automatically shift between Drive and Reverse for parking lot maneuvers and multi-point turns. This feature, borrowed from the refreshed Model S and X, is now available on the Model 3, adding a touch of convenience to everyday driving.
Other notable enhancements include the ability to set arrival energy levels at your destination, search for stops along your route with estimated detour times, view precipitation and weather forecasts directly on the navigation map, and receive rear cross-traffic alerts when reversing.
For Cybertruck owners, the update brings custom wraps and license plate personalization options, rear camera improvements with pinch-to-zoom functionality, a rear arcade for passengers to enjoy games on the move, and a fun Santa Mode that transforms your Cybertruck avatar into Santa’s sleigh.
In the entertainment and games department, the update introduces SiriusXM radio for Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck, an upgraded TuneIn Radio experience, the ability to schedule light shows from the Tesla app, a new party game called Boomerang Fu, and a playful “Fart on Contact” feature that triggers sound effects upon seat detection.
Overall, Tesla’s 2024 Holiday Update showcases the company’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. With a wide range of new features and enhancements, this update is sure to delight Tesla owners and elevate the driving experience to new heights. Get ready to experience the future of automotive technology with Tesla’s latest software update!
