Tesla has been rumored to be working on an updated Tesla app. The new app has now been leaked online on Tesla Owners Online with pictures and videos.
The new app brings a more modern experience with updated fonts, smoother transitions and car animations as you navigate the app.
The overall layout of the app remains largely the same with the car model sitting at the top of the app , followed by some quick action buttons and a list of categories underneath that.
There are a couple improvements and changes, but the Tesla app’s core functionality appears to be largely identical to the current application, with this serving more of a design update.
One of the changes is that the charge limit, where you pick what percentage you want to charge your car until, has been moved front and center so that it appears right underneath the quick action buttons.
The Upgrades section now also includes car accessories from the Tesla shop in addition to car upgrades.
What do you think of the new redesigned Tesla app launching soon?
I like that they integrated the Tesla shop into the app alongside software upgrades. They should integrate ordering cars as well. $TSLA@elonmuskpic.twitter.com/9uH8nZOb4p
The controls section has a brand new look. Instead of showing multiple rows of buttons, it will now display a top-down visualization of the car with buttons to open or close various features like the frunk, charge port and trunk. There is then a single row of buttons at the bottom for additional options such as Start, Honk, Flash and HomeLink.
Some of the features that were previously in the Controls section have been moved over to a brand new section labeled Security. Currently only Valet Mode and Speed Limit Mode appear here, but if Tesla created a whole new section, I would be surprised if these are the only two options they include here.
A lot of owners have been hoping to have sentry mode images or videos appear within the app, so it’s a possibility that those could be added to this section in the future.
One thing I’d like to see here which isn’t clear whether it’s supported is the ability to customize the quick actions buttons. Not everyone will agree which buttons should appear here and being able to customize them would be a nice improvement.
The Tesla app is built using APIs, and although we can only see APIs Tesla is using in production, we haven’t seen any recent changes to them that would hint at upcoming app features. So unless this app is using APIs that are not yet public I wouldn’t expect any new functionality and it’s largely a redesign.
Nonetheless, it’s a great improvement to the app and may just be the first step in a brand new experience.
Update: The updated Tesla app has now been released for iOS and Android. Check out all the new features of version 4.0.

“We have updated our future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of our previously communicated start of production in the second half of 2025”. This was one of the key sentences that were part of Tesla’s deck shared on Tuesday directly before its financial results.
Since Reuters’ report a few weeks ago saying Tesla had “scrapped” the highly expected cheaper model— which Elon quickly denied on X —retail and institutional shareholders started asking for more details on Tesla’s product roadmap for 2024 and beyond.
In the earnings conference call, Elon Musk reiterated that Tesla expects to launch the next model in “early 2025, if not late this year”.
“We've updated our future vehicle lineup to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of previously mentioned start of production in the second half of 2025. So, we expect it to be more like the early 2025, if not late this year. “
Over concerns of temporary production halts to update the factories for these new models, Musk said that Tesla will produce new models with certain aspects from their next-generation platform and current models. This will reduce the number of changes needed on production lines and allow Tesla not only to ramp up production faster but also to get the vehicles to market quicker.
Model Y Redesign
Tesla appears to hit that their next-gen vehicle will be less “next-gen” than they were initially aiming for, but to get a new vehicle out the door by late 2024, the process would already have to be in motion. Tesla may likely be referring to the redesigned Model Y, which is expected to reuse many parts from the new Model 3. Earlier this year, Tesla said that the redesigned Model Y will not be released this year, so it makes sense that they’re looking to speed up that production.
Tesla CEO concluded by saying that these measures will allow Tesla to reach a capacity of over 3 million units. Tesla produced 1.84 million vehicles in 2023. However, this year they’re ramping up Cybertruck production and introduced the new Model 3 into new markets.
And we think this should allow us to get to over 3 million vehicles of capacity when realized to the full extent.
Tesla reported on Tuesday its earnings results followed by a conference call where it teased its upcoming Robotaxi and its next-generation platform saying its “purpose-built Robotaxi product will continue to pursue a revolutionary ‘unboxed’ manufacturing strategy”.
Earlier in the day, Tesla announced the new Performance variant of its sedan Model 3 with deliveries in the United States starting already next month. The new version starts at $45,490 (after applying the $7,500 Federal EV tax credit) and goes from 0 to 60mph in 2.9 seconds.
On Tuesday Tesla reported its earnings results followed by a conference call that brought several updates on the company’s roadmap for future vehicles, autonomous driving, Optimus and much more.
While answering a question from Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney about updates on the licensing of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, Elon Musk said they’re talking to one major auto manufacturer and there’s “a good chance” the company signs the first deal before year-end. However, he went on to say that it would probably be three years before the necessary changes are integrated into the car.
I think we have a good chance we do sign a deal this year
Brings Benefits to Tesla
The technology would require other automakers to start using the same cameras and hardware as Tesla, meaning that Tesla may not only generate money from licensing FSD but also from selling the hardware itself. However, there would be other benefits as well. When licensing FSD, Tesla would likely own the data gathered with the system well, further helping them with data and edge cases that need to be solved to reach full autonomy.
people don't understand all cars will need to be smart cars… Once that becomes obvious, I think licensing becomes not optional.
Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja commented pointing out that future partners “take a lot of time in their product life cycle” resulting in a gap between the deal signing and the arrival in the market of Tesla’s FSD software.
Miles Driven With FSD
On the conference call, Musk added that Tesla now has over 300 million miles that have been driven with FSD v12 since it was launched just last month. He added that it's becoming “very clear that the vision-based approach with end-to-end neural networks is the right solution for scalable autonomy”.
Tesla said it will continue to increase its “core AI infrastructure capacity in the coming months” adding that in the first quarter, it completed the transition to hardware 4.0 with China now receiving the upgraded FSD computer and cameras.
Over the weekend, Tesla reduced the price of FSD dropping it from $12,000 to $8,000 for customers in the United States and from CA$16,000 to CA$11,000 in Canada.
Earlier this month, Tesla implemented a 50% price reduction for FSD subscriptions in the U.S. and introduced the subscription model in Canada at a great value of CA$99 per month.
