While the newest AMD Ryzen-based Teslas are getting all of the features in the new Spring Update, the older Intel-based fleet is not being entirely left behind… Read More

Well, this article reads like a "don't give up on hope! You still get a fraction of the features AMD Verhicles get!" :D All the features delivered are pointless to me. I can name my Pet in renamed "Pet Mode"? No improvement just gimmick - and most of the other "Features" are yet more statistical overviews (Trips & Energy) and weather map which i can also access on my phone. Auto-Updates? Not gonna use it, as i want to have control over when i want to install an update (which makes the car undriveable for 40 min).

It will be great news when Grok or some other missing features from the past (which do not exceed the processing capability of Intel) will make it to our cars :)

Wow, I was super excited when I read the title of this post. Finally, us legacy owners are going to get something substantial!

Imagine my shock when I read the article. Instead of a post full of Intel compatible upgrades we get a list of features that we can't have. Oh, I can swipe to add a song to my favorites in Spotify? How about making the playhead a bit larger on the main screen so we can see how much of the song we have left!? Or fix the Spotify random number generator so I don't get the same sequence of songs every time I use the shuffle feature?

I understand not getting some more advanced feature (Grok, High Fidelity Visual Updates, Interactive Rear Display, etc.) but come on Tesla, throw us a bone here! How about traffic lights on the maps? Or a Large Text mode? Those would make a real world difference to how I use my car every day.

still have yet to receive the update.......please update me......2026.14.2.

Other people in my town have ALREADY GOTTEN IT----yup parked near wifi, yup on advanced, yes updated app, yes verified wifi actually connect and yes did the scroll wheel reboot and the switch between standard and advance toggle..........which does nothing by the way as far as getting it faster.

Lets see what else..........linked my account.

Got a new iphone recently but i been using iphone as key for 2 weeks and downloaded new app, changed pass words

I am out of work-a-rounds.

Updates are coming in waves, sadly theres nothing you can do about when the switch gets flipped for your vehicle :D But i did notice that with the intern switch for faster updates, they do come a little bit sooner, but not much

I asked grok what to do and it worked: leave phone in car with hot spot on for a few hours, Tesla sends out waves so if yr connected u will get the GOLD ARROW (download) and at 1:00 am boom got the download and some tiny hidden features.

I’m tired got to get some sleep-will make a video of what HW3 actually got.

That seems to be the difference. My car is on Home Wifi every night when parked in the garage so it gets the update waves Tesla is sending frequently. Nice to know that you have to be Wifi connected for the car to "recognize the wave" even, i thought mobile data was enough to at least recognize that, to later download it on Wifi.
