Tesla Update 2025.20 Lets You Delete Multiple Dashcam Videos at Once

Tesla’s software updates often hide some undocumented features alongside the official release notes, and software update 2025.20 is no exception. With this update, Tesla has introduced a welcome quality-of-life improvement for the in-vehicle Dashcam Viewer. Users now have the ability to select and delete multiple clips at once (thanks, Max!). However, this addition is limited to the updated Dashcam Viewer for Ryzen-based vehicles.

While it may seem a small change, if you wanted to clear out your Dashcam clips, you’d have to either delete them one by one in the vehicle or remove your Dashcam USB drive and take it to a computer to erase all the clips at once. For those who frequently see Sentry Mode notifications or often record clips with their Dashcam, this is a useful addition.

While the Tesla app now also supports viewing videos from your Dashcam and Sentry Mode, it still doesn’t support the two B-pillar cameras or deleting multiple clips at once. However, you can swipe on a clip to delete it.

How to Delete Multiple Videos

Using this new feature is straightforward.

  1. Open the Dashcam Viewer in your vehicle while parked.

  2. Bring up the menu that shows your various clips and press the three dots at the top right corner of the clip list.

  3. You can now check off each video you’d like to delete before tapping the delete button underneath.

Feature Availability

This feature is currently limited to vehicles that have received the updated Dashcam viewer - which means vehicles equipped with AMD Ryzen processors (how to tell if you have Intel or AMD). This includes all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles with AMD Ryzen, as well as the 2021+ Model S and Model X vehicles.

Unfortunately, since the Cybertruck does not yet have access to the updated Dashcam viewer or support for the additional two cameras in Sentry Mode, it has not received this feature yet either.

This undocumented feature is a very welcomed addition for many users who carefully manage their Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos.

Tesla Plans Diner Global Expansion; Next Location: Starbase

By Karan Singh
Not a Tesla App

Just as the first Tesla Diner opens its doors in Hollywood, Elon Musk has confirmed that this is the beginning of a larger vision for the retro-futuristic Supercharger and Diner sites. If the first location is successful, Tesla plans to roll out the Diners globally to major destinations.

The second location for a Tesla Diner has already been confirmed. Tesla will be building its second diner at Starbase, Texas - home of SpaceX. That means that this isn’t a one-off project anymore, but instead something that could become a new side business for Tesla Energy - integrating food and entertainment options at major Supercharger sites in urban cores.

An Island of Good

The future vision of the diner concept is fairly clear. Tesla plans to create fun, inviting environments around some of its biggest Superchargers, removing some of the stigma around charging an EV.

The Tesla Diner in Hollywood is already drawing a steady flow of street traffic, including non-Tesla owners, who come to try the food and enjoy the entertainment. There’s a lot to like about what Tesla is doing. Tesla is using healthier ingredients, serving food on roller skates, and even including tips with each purchase, helping alleviate the ‘tip-everything’ culture in the U.S.

That’s not to mention Tesla’s impressive integration of the Tesla Diner with its own app and the vehicles. For example, not only can you order from within your vehicle and pay with your Tesla account, but if you choose a pickup order, the diner will know when you arrive and which Supercharger stall you’re in.

With an experience like that, the Diner is becoming a tourist destination, more than just a simple charging spot. 

Starbase and Beyond

For the next expansion, Elon said ‘Ok’ to adding a location to Starbase, Texas. If you’re not familiar with Musk’s OK responses, you’ll know that’s his way of agreeing to something. However, it likely won’t just be Starbase. If the diner is successful, then Tesla will expand the diner concept globally, adding them to major cities.

This is the Tesla way of advertising. Instead of traditional advertising that yields a low return, Tesla invests its money in ways that improve the Tesla ownership experience, while also helping to spread the word. The same can be said about adding games or ambient light features to Tesla vehicles. Tesla spends time developing features that will get people talking about the company and its cars.

Thousands of space enthusiasts travel to Cyber Beach and the surrounding areas of Starbase to witness SpaceX launches every year, making it an easy decision to capitalize on this opportunity.

With the Hollywood location now finally open, its success will be the determining factor for the pace at which Tesla builds additional Drive-In Diners. But with the next location already planned, it’s clear this is more than just a small side quest now - it’ll be about turning some Supercharger sites into a one-of-a-kind experience around the world, letting many experience Tesla for the first time.

Two New Tesla Semi Pilot Programs: Feedback & Efficiency

In a real-world validation win for Semi, Tesla has seen two major companies, ArcBest and “thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services,” complete extensive, multi-week pilot programs for the Tesla Semi.

The results were overwhelmingly positive as these companies used the Semi for thousands of miles over challenging terrain.

ArcBest Conquers Donner Pass

Logistics company ArcBest announced that it has completed a three-week pilot program with the Tesla Semi. Over that period, the truck logged an impressive 4,494 miles, averaging 321 miles per day. The pilot also showed off a remarkable energy efficiency of just 1.55 kWh per mile, a figure confirmed by Tesla Semi Program Head, Dan W. Priestley. For comparison, a Model 3, Tesla’s most efficient vehicle, uses approximately 0.250 kWh per mile, making the Semi use roughly six times more energy.

Most importantly, the vehicle was tested in difficult, real-world trucking conditions, successfully navigating the 7,200-foot climb over Donner Pass. Arcbest stated that Semi “generally matched the performance of its diesel counterparts”. The company also noted that driver feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Operators highlighted Semi’s comfort, safety, and ease of use. There was a lot of specific praise for the center seat configuration, wide field of visibility, and intuitive controls, which made it an enjoyable experience.

Thyssenkrupp Calls Semi a “Natural Fit”

In a separate but related announcement, thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services also revealed that it had recently completed a successful three-week demo of the Tesla Semi at one of its logistics hubs in California. During its winter trial, the truck delivered goods for nearly 5,000 miles in a variety of conditions, which included regularly traversing the steep Altamont Pass.

The results were so positive that the company announced that plans are already underway to integrate a fleet of Tesla Semis into its operations soon. That is another huge win for the Semi Program as volume production is expected to begin by the end of 2025.

The Tesla Semi aligns with our ongoing commitment to sustainability and operational excellence. Its efficiency and diagnostic features, and low environmental impact make it a natural fit for our evolving logistics strategy.

  • Bob Denehy, Chief Commercial Officer, thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services

A Win for Tesla

According to Dan, these partnerships are just part of Tesla’s strategy. Working with its own suppliers and logistics partners helps electrify Tesla’s own supply chain, and with lower costs and higher reliability, it just makes sense for all parties involved.

The successful completion of these two rigorous, real-world pilot programs is a sign that the Semi has proven its efficiency, reliability, and performance to many major players in the logistics industry. Next up for Semi will be volume production and sales to companies outside of Tesla’s pilot programs.
