2024.8.4 Release Notes
One-Time Charge Limit
If you're planning a road trip, you can choose the One-Time Charge option.
This option appears when you increase the Charge Limit above the daily driving recommendation.
Afterward your vehicle will automatically revert back to your previous daily driving Charge Limit.
Danger Zones on Your Route
Navigation now includes symbols along your route to show danger zones.
To see this route information you must have Navigation > Online Routing turned on. Requires Premium Connectivity.
Adaptive High Beams
High beams now adapt to reduce glare for other drivers and cyclists.
By detecting other road users, and selectively dimming individual pixels of the headlight, your high beams stay on more often for greater visibility at night.
To turn them on, in your vehicle settings go to Lights > Adaptive High Beams.
Editor's note: This applies to vehicles with matrix headlights seen on some of the redesigned Model S and Model X vehicles, as well as the first-gen Model 3 and Model Y. It currently only applies to vehicles in Europe, but Tesla is working on adding support in the U.S.
Security Improvements
This update includes important security fixes and improvements.
Turn Signals
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.
New WiFi Menu
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.
New Bluetooth Menu
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.
