Update 2026.20.300 - Release Notes

Tesla will now display whether a vehicle has FSD enabled in the Tesla app. In addition, the app will now also display the blue FSD path and even the rainbow road easter egg if it’s enabled in the vehicle.

This requires Tesla app update 4.58.5 or higher and vehicle update 2026.20.6.1 or higher.

With Tesla’s recent addition of license plate customization, they also added a shortcut for it under Controls > Software.

With this update, Tesla tweaked the icon slightly by adding a license plate frame around the license plate image being used for a cleaner look.

In update 2026.20, Tesla started encrypting Dashcam footage. This came at the same time as Tesla expanded recent video footage from 1 hour to up to 24 hours under certain requirements.

Encrypting the videos is an important privacy change, since if your USB drive is pulled from your vehicle, thieves can now have access to up to 24 hours of your driving, potentially revealing your workplace, home, and other important locations.

With this update, Tesla also added a button to the Dashcam Viewer that lets owners easily decrypt a specific clip, making it easier to see the footage if they mount the USB drive to their computer.

Tesla also introduced a tool that lets you decrypt any videos on your computer, as long as you log in to your Tesla account to prove that you own the video footage.

Tesla’s navigation now supports bus lanes, helping drivers be more aware of which lanes they can use.

This is even more important for FSD, so the vehicle can know which lanes are appropriate to drive in without having to read or potentially miss signs.
