Tesla Introduces Year-End Energy Awards to the Tesla App – Are FSD Awards Next?

If you have a Tesla Powerwall or Tesla Solar installed, Tesla rolled out a new feature in the Tesla app that gives you a great overview of your past year with Tesla Energy. The feature highlights how you and your home benefited from Tesla Energy by displaying various statistics and giving you an award based on your system’s activity, but it looks like this may soon apply to more than just Tesla Energy.

Tesla Energy

Tesla calls this year-end-recap Tesla Recharged - kind of similar to Spotify’s Unwrapped annual recap. And that is really what it is - it’s a look back at how your Tesla Energy system performed over the course of 2024.

Recharged shows you how often you were Self-Powered, how much energy you saved, how much solar was generated, and how much your solar system offset your grid usage. It also lets you compare how many times you went off the grid in comparison to other users.

It’ll list the day of your longest outage and how many outages you had. It’ll also show the number of times your Tesla Powerwall went into Storm Watch - and the hours of protection you had. There’s also a lot more, including the total amount of energy stored, your month with the highest solar generation, the month with the most money saved, and when your average peak load times. It’s a lot of information presented in a neat package, and we’d love to see more of this type of stuff in the Tesla app.

Awards - Trophies

Not a Tesla App

The final item is the trophies. Your Tesla Energy archetype is listed - and going off-grid was called “the party trick,” according to Alex Guichet. The archetype he won was Trickster - but he didn’t say how many archetypes there are. In addition to Trickster, we’ve seen archetypes of Solar Punk, which is awarded to high levels of energy generation, and Team Player, given out to Virtual Power Plant leaders.

The trophy characterizes your use of Tesla’s Energy features, so let us know what trophies you got! We’d love to see all the unique archetypes.

FSD Awards Coming?

Yun-Ta Tsai, a member of Tesla’s FSD Engineering Team, mentioned that Tesla should do this for FSD miles driven, too - and Alex agreed. There’s a good chance that we may get a Tesla FSD wrap-up next year.

We’d love to see the number of miles driven on FSD versus regular driving, and be able to compare how often you used it versus other users. It would be a really cool way to let the community compete on FSD miles.

Tesla Adds India Map Region, To Open Showroom on July 15th; New European Map Update

Tesla has begun rolling out some map updates, including a brand new geographic area. These updates include two regional map updates, with one confirming Tesla’s entry into India and the other improving the maps in Europe.

Indian Launch

The biggest addition is a new map region for India, which was discovered by Tesla hacker Greentheonly. This move, while seemingly minor, is a prerequisite for Tesla launching vehicles in the region.

For years, discussions about Tesla’s arrival in India have focused on manufacturing plans, import duties, and retail store plans. However, the vehicles themselves must all be technically ready for the region.

This is more than just data entry; it involves integrating local points of interest, Tesla’s internal routing logic, and displaying regional road information correctly. In past market entries, Tesla has activated the necessary navigation regions in its software shortly before officially launching in a country, and just this morning, news broke that Tesla will open its first showroom in India.

On July 15th, Tesla will open its first showroom in Mumbai, marking its entry into the Indian market.

For those who have imported Tesla vehicles in advance of the official market entry, this means they will finally receive official maps and navigation support, and will likely begin receiving official software updates in the near future.

European Maps Update

In addition to the India map update, Tesla has also starting roll out a map update for Europe. The new map update for Europe is version EU-2025.14, bringing users up from EU-2025.2.

You’ll need to connect to WiFi in order to download map updates and similar to software updats, Tesla will roll them out gradually. If you want to learn more about map updates, be sure to check out our Tesla maps and navigaiton guide.

This map update will likely be fairly minor, but it should include newer roads, speed limits and more details. It could also include additional information that’s required for launching FSD in Europe.

While map updates aren’t as exciting as FSD updates or major software updates like the upcoming Grok AI update, they’re especially useful for Tesla owners who travel on new roads that may not be in Tesla’s current map version.

Tesla’s 2025 Shareholder Meeting Set for November 6th: What to Expect

Tesla has officially scheduled its 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting for Thursday, November 6, 2025. The date was confirmed in an 8-K form filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission this week. Shareholders can expect to begin receiving official notifications by email or letter this week.

While we don’t know what, if anything, is up for vote this year, shareholders should ensure their investment accounts are linked up at ir.tesla.com if they plan to vote on upcoming proposals.

While these meetings cover standard corporate governance, they’ve also become a key venue for Tesla to share updates on its future projects.

Let’s take a look back at Tesla’s 2024 shareholder meeting to see what we can expect for 2025.

A Look Back: Shareholder Meeting 2024

The 2024 Shareholder Meeting was packed with news and updates. Some of the highlights included details on Cybercab, the first mentions of AI5, and the move of Tesla’s incorporation to Texas following the re-ratification of Elon’s 2018 compensation plan.

That’s a lot that happened in just one meeting - and you can read our full recap here.

Topics for 2025

The 2025 meeting may provide progress updates on several key items.

First up is the final status of Elon Musk’s pay package. While it was successfully re-ratified following the 2024 Meeting, the Court of Delaware ruled against it, creating a legal situation that resulted in Tesla amending its letter of incorporation and moving to Texas.

While the messy legal situation hasn’t been completely sorted out yet, there’s a chance we could see more on this at the 2025 Meeting.

Next up is a status update on the Robotaxi Network pilot, as well as progress for Tesla’s Cybercab program. We’ve seen early prototype castings for the Cybercab outside Giga Texas, and they recently provided an updated timeline in their 2024 Impact Report. This is going to be the next big step for Tesla’s growth as it starts its Robotaxi service business.

The Tesla Semi and Tesla Energy are also two massive programs undergoing upgrades and revamps. The volume production of Semi is supposed to begin by the end of 2025, and Tesla is constantly working on expanding Tesla Energy’s manufacturing footprint to meet the never-ending demand for Megapack and Powerwall. We’re anticipating some major updates here, along with some updates on Tesla’s next-generation battery tech, including the Gen 3 Cybercell that includes dry-cathode manufacturing.

There’s a lot to be excited about - and November 6th is the day we may find out a lot about Tesla’s future products. The meeting will be a big event that we’ll cover in detail, so don’t worry, even if you miss it. We’ll have a full set of recap notes and longer in-depth articles following the event, as usual.
