Tesla has added code to the Robotaxi app that suggests they’re getting closer to releasing an Android version.

New phrases include:

'android_native_alicorn_arrival_text': '{{duration}} min away • {{arrivalTime}} arrival',

'android_native_alicorn_destination_arriving': 'Arriving at Destination',

'android_native_alicorn_eta_text': '{{duration}} min away',

'android_native_alicorn_wait_for_vehicle_to_stop': 'Wait for the vehicle to stop',

Tesla has added Home and Work addresses, along with address verification, to the Robotaxi app.

The Home and Work addresses will likely be automatically available and retrieved from your Tesla account. It’d use the same Home and Work addresses that are available in your vehicle and be available to the Robotaxi app, thanks to Tesla’s cloud profiles.

'personal_info_add_home': 'Add Home', 'personal_info_add_work': 'Add Work',

'personal_info_home_address': 'Home Address',

'personal_info_work_address': 'Work Address',

In addition, Tesla now appears to be verifying addresses after they’re saved, according to new phrases found in the app:

'save_address': 'Save {{address_type}}',

'save_address_success': '{{address_type}} Added',

'save_unreachable_address': 'Save Anyway',

Tesla has added a new snowfall effect to the Robotaxi app. Snowflakes start appearing when you begin a trip. The source code in the Robotaxi app reveals that this snowfall effect runs for a specific period, but doesn’t specify when it’ll end.

The snowfall effect only occurs while a trip is active. These are some of the phrases in the source code:

"Snowfall END TIMER"

"Snowfall START TIMER: "

"Trip became active, show snowfall"

Tesla has improved the feedback portion of the Robotaxi app. You can attach photos, and some feedback categories now also require a photo to be uploaded.

Some of the categories include: audio quality, booking, can’t find vehicle, car condition, cleanliness, damage, pricing and long wait.

These are some of the new phrases in the app source:

'alicorn_feedback_image_required_for': 'Image required for {{category}}',

These are the three new assets in this Robotaxi app update. In addition to the two new snowflakes that are used for the snowfall effect. Tesla is also requiring users to use Precise Location on iOS, instead of Coarse Location.

The Robotaxi uses the user’s location to determine where to pick them up, and coarse location settings don’t provide the level of accuracy needed.

The app will now tell the user how to enable precise location on their device and indicate whether their level of location accuracy is insufficient to use the Robotaxi app.

'alicorn_gps_accuracy_subtitle': 'Move to an open area and ensure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on', 'alicorn_gps_accuracy_subtitle_precise_location': 'Enable Precise Location',
'alicorn_warning_pill_gps_accuracy': 'Improve phone location accuracy',

Tesla is adding cleaning fees to the Robotaxi. This app update adds new phrases such as “cleaning fee." The description for the cleaning fee reads:

'Additional cleaning was required for the vehicle after your trip. A fee has been added to your final cost to cover this service. Please contact us if you have any questions.'

The update doesn’t mention the cost of the cleaning, but users are likely to be notified of the additional fee once the vehicle gets back to the factory.

Tesla has always provided a way to report a lost or found item in a vehicle. However, they’re now limiting when you can report a lost item.

The app will now state “Report a Lost Item by {date}”. If a user tries to report a lost item after the expiration date, the app will warn the user that Tesla is “no longer accepting lost item reports.”
