Tesla has recently released software update 2025.32.3, bringing a host of new features and enhancements to its vehicles. One of the standout additions is the Frontal Airbag System Enhancement for the Model Y, which utilizes Tesla Vision technology to improve crash protection. By using the integrated camera-based Vision system, the airbags can now inflate and restrain occupants earlier in the event of a frontal collision, enhancing overall safety.
This update builds on existing regulatory standards and industry crash testing, showcasing Tesla’s commitment to continuously improving the safety of its vehicles through software updates. While the feature is currently exclusive to the Model Y, there is anticipation for it to potentially expand to other models in the future.
Another notable feature introduced in this update is the Low Power Mode, available across all Tesla models. This mode is designed to conserve energy while the vehicle is parked by disabling power-drawing features. Owners have the option to manually enable Low Power Mode for extended parking periods or set it to activate automatically at a specified battery percentage. The feature was first hinted at in the Tesla app and has now been officially rolled out with this update.
In addition to these key features, the update also includes enhancements such as the ability for Rave Cave, Tesla’s playful light show mode, to remember settings and automatically activate when the vehicle shifts into Park if previously enabled. Dog Mode now allows for the minimum temperature to be adjusted to 64°F (18°C), range estimates have been updated to consider battery aging on legacy Model S and X vehicles, and various security fixes and performance improvements have been implemented.
This latest software release follows Tesla’s previous update, which introduced xAI’s Grok chatbot to vehicles in July. Looking ahead, there are hints of a new gamified “Challenges” system with rewards in development, reflecting Tesla’s ongoing efforts to engage drivers beyond just driving.
With a focus on safety enhancements, energy-saving features, and improvements to fun aspects like Rave Cave, update 2025.32.3 showcases Tesla’s dedication to enhancing its vehicles long after they leave the factory. The continuous innovation and commitment to ongoing improvement further solidify Tesla’s position as a leader in the automotive industry.
