The Tesla App Now Celebrates Your Vehicle's Anniversary

Not a Tesla App

As part of an update to the Tesla App in June, Tesla now celebrates your car’s delivery anniversary. On your vehicle's anniversary, Tesla will send you an automated message in the app congratulating you on X years with your vehicle.

This was added in update 4.34, so everyone should have it now. The anniversary celebration message is global, and not restricted to North America. Oh, and you get a Tesla-versary for every Tesla you own as well as a chance to provide feedback to Tesla.

Tesla-versary Survey

As part of the anniversary, the app also asks you to fill out an ownership survey. The survey has a fairly detailed list of questions, including asking you about your favorite and least favorite features. Additionally, it also asks some of the standard questions on how likely you are to recommend Tesla as a brand, or to purchase another.

Some questions are on a 1-10 scale or list, while others are in a written answer format. The entire survey is done in-app, and it takes about 5 minutes to fill out. If you decline to fill out the survey because you’re busy, Tesla will send you an email just once, asking you to fill out the ownership survey.

So, when your Tesla-versary date is up, provide some input! This is an excellent way for owners to communicate their concerns with Tesla writ-large, which will help with new feature development, bug-fixing, and general upgrades in the future.
