You can now sync your Spotify queue across vehicles and devices, and adjust playback speed.

There’s a new media player that’s larger and easier to use. By increasing the size of the media player, Tesla is now able to fit additional options that were hidden previously, such as EQ and audio settings, the search button and shuffle and repeat options.
The new media player appears while the vehicle is parked, driving or while the visualizations are in full-screen mode.
The media player can be minimized as before, but it now remains in the visualization area as a small strip incase of going down into the dock.
While your vehicle is charging, the screen will now display additional information about the vehicle's charging status.
It includes the charge limit, current power, total energy added, number of phases, and the current amperage and voltage.
There is also a new animation on the left side where the new power meter appears while driving. This vertical line mimics the vertical green lights on Tesla's Wall Connector that scroll up and down while the vehicle is charging.
In the vehicle's new visualization, after you tap Open Trunk, you'll now be given the option to "Pause" the trunk opening so that it remains open to the current height.
This could be useful when opening the trunk where there may not be enough overhead space.
You can always set the maximum height for the trunk to open, limiting how far the trunk lid goes up whenever you're at that specific location.
The font size of the speedometer has been increased, making it easier to see.
While in full-screen, the regen bar is now placed vertically along the left side of the screen istead of horizontally on top.
Please check back shortly. If you have received 2020.24.5, you can share release notes with us below.

Passengers in the back seat can listen on wireless Bluetooth headphones when watching shows or playing games on the rear touchscreen. The rest of the vehicle can continue to listen to other audio from the front.
Pair your headphones at App Launcher > Rear Display > Settings > Add New Device. To listen, turn on the headphones (up to two), open an app in Theater or Arcade on the rear screen, and hit play.

The nozzle that sprays your windshield when the left stalk or steering wheel button is held down previously only sprayed the windshield when the wipers were in the lower position.
With this update, the nozzle will now spray the windshield immediately if you're traveling above 60 mph, 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.'
Tesla's connectivity icon is now always displayed in the status bar to give you instant access to the vehicle's signal strength.
Prior to this update, the cellular connection icon was only displayed if there was low or no coverage, or if you went into the main Controls menu.
The vehicle's turn signal icons are now easier to see at a glance. Instead of the arrow being inside of a circle, the new turn signals are now simple arrows, which better matches other vehicles.
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.
