Offgrid Charging Supported

Ihr Fahrzeug koordiniert mit Powerwall einen erweiterten Ladevorgang während eines Stromausfalls, damit die Energie- und Stromkapazität Ihres Powerwall-Systems nicht überschritten wird. Powerwall reagiert kontinuierlich auf die wechselnden Energieanforderungen Ihres Hauses, und wird das Aufladen Ihres Fahrzeuges verlangsamen oder anhalten, um die Stromlast Ihres Hauses weiterhin bedienen zu können.

Während eines Stromausfalls wird Ihr Fahrzeug von der Powerwall laden, wenn sich diese oberhalb des in der Tesla Mobilen App eingestellten Schwellenwertes befindet. Sie können diesen Schwellenwert ändern, um ihn an die Energieanforderungen Ihres Hauses und Ihrer Fahrbedürfnisse anzupassen, und haben dadurch vollständige Kontrolle über Ihr Energie-Ecosystem. Powerwall kann überschüssige Solarenergie während eines Stromausfalls auch zum Aufladen Ihres Fahrzeuges verwenden, wenn Sie es bei Sonnenschein eingesteckt lassen.

Diese Version unterstützt nun weitere Tesla-Fahrzeuge; sie wurde ursprünglich für manche Fahrzeuge im April 2020 veröffentlicht.

Sie können nun eine Echtzeit-Darstellung darüber sehen, wie das Federungssystem die Dämpfung an jedem Rad dynamisch einstellt, um auf wechselnde Straßenbedingungen zu reagieren. Tippen Sie auf „Federungsdaten anzeigen“, um noch mehr Echtzeit-Informationen zu erhalten.

Zusätzlich zu den bereits vorhandenen Einstellungen KOMFORT, AUTO und SPORT hat die Adaptive Federungsdämpfung nun eine Einstellung „FORTGESCHRITTEN“, bei der Sie die Werte für Fahrkomfort und Fahrverhalten selbst definieren können.

Wir haben die Logik der Tesla-Federungssteuerung vereinfacht, um sowohl kurzfristige als auch eher längerfristige Höheneinstellungen besser zu unterstützen. Falls das Fahrzeugniveau von Hand auf Hoch oder Sehr Hoch angepasst wurde, wird Ihr Fahrzeug nun nach dem Fahren einer kurzen Strecke automatisch abgesenkt. Wählen Sie bei verschneiten bzw. Offroad-Straßenbedingungen „Halten“ neben dem Fahrzeugniveau-Schieberegler, um die Höhe bis zum Erreichen der zulässigen Maximalgeschwindigkeit auf Hoch bzw. Sehr Hoch zu halten. An steilen Einfahrten oder anderen Orten, bei denen Sie wiederholt ein höheres Fahrzeugniveau benötigen, wählen Sie „An diesem Ort immer Automatisch Anheben“. Diese Funktion hebt an diesem Ort beim Ankommen jedesmal die Federung zu der gespeicherten Höhe.

Und schließlich passt das Federungssystem das Fahrzeugniveau nun auch automatisch zwischen den Höhen Standard und Niedrig an, um Fahrkomfort und Reichweite je nach Straßentyp zu optimieren. Falls Sie bevorzugen, dass Ihr Fahrzeug näher am Boden bleibt, aktivieren Sie die Einstellung „Fahrzeugniveau standardmäßig auf Niedrig“.

The nozzle that sprays your windshield when the left stalk or steering wheel button (model dependent) is held down previously only sprayed the windshield when the wipers were in the lower position.

With this update, the nozzle will spray the windshield any time the button is held for a brief period, regardless of the wiper's position.

The Fold Mirrors button under Controls has been updated to have multiple states. The mirror now has four states:

Fold Mirrors: This button will fold your mirrors and then briefly change to 'Save Location.'

Save Location: If your mirrors were recently folded, then you'll be presented with a Save Location button that will cause the vehicle to always fold its mirrors when it arrives near this location.

Remove Location: If your mirrors are set to be folded at the current location, the button will change to 'Remove Location," letting you remove the automatic folding of the mirrors at this location.

Unfold Mirrors: If your mirrors are currently folded, but not set to fold automatically based on the location, then the button will simply display 'Unfold Mirrors.'

There is a new WiFi menu that makes it easier to connect your vehicle to WiFi. The new menu can be found under Controls > WLAN (WiFi).

The updated menu replaces the old dialog box that appeared when you tapped the WiFi icon at the top of the Controls menu.

The status icons at the top of the screen are still present to let you quickly view whether the vehicle is connected to WiFi and its signal strength.

Similar to WiFi, the Bluetooth menu is now located under Controls > Bluetooth, instead of an overlay on the screen.

To make additional room for the additional WiFi and Bluetooth options in the left column, you can now scroll the column vertically, with WiFi, Bluetooth and Upgrades being the last options.

The Bluetooth icon will also remain at the top of the screen to quickly let you know whether any Bluetooth devices are conneced.
