Tire Pressure

Tesla Tire Pressure feature in update 4.12
Available Worldwide

View last measured tire pressures in Controls (*)

* Vehicle software version 2022.24+ required.

Editor's note: You can now view the last known tire pressures in the Tesla app. To preserve the battery life of the wireless pressure gauges in each wheel, the tire pressure is only transmitted while the vehicle is in motion.

Tire pressure data was previously unavailable unless you were driving or recently finished driving, but you can now view the last known tire pressure in the vehicle or the app.

In 2022.24 Tesla added the last known tire pressures to the Service section of the vehicle, but in the app, it's located under Controls, where Tesla already shows you a visualization of your vehicle.

The app and car will both show you when the measurement was last taken. In the app, you can toggle the PSI view by tapping the icon in the top right corner.

You will no longer be asked to confirm if you want to open the frunk when opening it through the app. The frunk will now open immediately without confirmation.

If you have an automated trunk that has the ability to close itself, the app will no longer ask for a confirmation as well. However, if your trunk is manual, then you will still be asked whether you're sure that you want to open the trunk and that you will need to close it manually once it's open.

Tapping the ( i ) icon at the top-right corner of the screen will bring up additional details about your distance driven. It will show you the total amount of miles driven and how many of those miles were driven using Autopilot.

A 'Manage Drivers' button has been added to the bottom of the app to give you quick access to add or manage drivers on your Tesla account.

The add a driver feature is meant to give someone temporary or permanent access to your vehicle.

As the owner, you will be able to manage any temporary access through your Tesla app. The individual being offered access will have 24 hours to accept the invite and you will be able to cancel or revoke access at any point.

You can still manage drivers through the Security portion of the app and this new button simply makes the feature more discoverable.

The Specs & Warranty link has also been turned into a button to match the new 'Manage Drivers' button.

Tesla App 4.44.1 Release Notes

Rate Charging Session

Tesla Rate Charging Session feature in update 4.44.1

Under Menu > Charging, Tesla now shows a button to Rate the Supercharging session in addition to the previous Details button.

When diving into a Supercharging session (right photo), Tesla has moved the feedback button to the top and changed the name from Feedback to Rate Session.

Each of these buttons let you rate the Supercharging session from 1 to 5 starts and let you pick applicable reasons why the session was great or poor -- which is the same as previous releases.

Undocumented

While you're actively charging your vehicle at a Supercharger, the Tesla app will now display your current cost in real-time.

This is in addition the current power in kW, miles or km charging per hour and total energy added during the session that was already displayed in the app.

Undocumented
Undocumented

Tesla is now showing users information about nearby Superchargers. When you’re near a Supercharger, Tesla will now highlight it at the top of the Tesla app, letting you report issues or view site information.

This could be useful when a driver is trying to locate a Supercharger or simply needs to report an issue.

Robotaxi Mode

Tesla Robotaxi Mode feature in update 4.44.0
Undocumented
Undocumented

It appears that Tesla’s Robotaxi network will utilize the existing Tesla app rather than relying on a dedicated Robotaxi-specific app. New code found in this update suggests that owners will be able to switch between ‘Fleet Mode’ and ‘Owner Mode,’ allowing them to choose whether their vehicle joins the autonomous taxi network or is reserved for personal use.

Child Left Alone Detection

Tesla Child Left Alone Detection feature in update 4.44.0
Undocumented
Undocumented

Tesla’s upcoming child detection feature will let the vehicle automatically turn on its climate system if it detects that a child has been left alone in the vehicle. Tesla is also introducing other safeguards, such as sending notifications to the owner and calling emergency services if needed.

Tesla is now beginning to integrate this into the Tesla app, according to a tear-down of this update by Tesla_App_iOS. If a child is left in the vehicle, the owner won’t be allowed to turn off or change climate settings.

Tesla is also preventing other things, such as installing software updates, while a child is detected alone in the vehicle.

Tesla App 4.43.5 Release Notes

Dashcam Viewer

Tesla Dashcam Viewer feature in update 4.43.5
Available Worldwide
Android
Models:
New S
3
New X
Y
CT
Android

The Dashcam Viewer is now available in the Tesla app for Android users.

The Dashcam Viewer makes it easy to access and manage your car’s Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos. Accessing videos on your phone is faster and more convenient, but it does come with a few requirements.

The Dashcam Viewer in the Tesla app allows you to view, delete, or save video clips right from your device. This should result in higher quality content being shared online and fewer videos of owners recording their Tesla’s screens with their phones.

Early Access Program

Tesla Early Access Program feature in update 4.43.5
Available Worldwide
Undocumented
Undocumented

Tesla may soon offer an “Early Access Program” that allows customers to sign up and receive early access versions of FSD. In exchange, users would need to share data with Tesla, such as usage logs and vehicle data.

According to the document that was found in this version of the app by Tesla_App_iOS, the data Tesla collects about your vehicle while a part of the Early Access Program is different than the regular data Tesla collects. Presumably, this data will be a lot more detailed and would include everything mentioned in Tesla’s Shared Data analytics that are available under Controls > Software > Shared Data.

We expect Tesla to let you sign up for the early access program directly in the app in the future.

Service Improvements

Tesla Service Improvements feature in update 4.43.5
Available Worldwide
Undocumented
Undocumented

This update includes several improvements to Tesla’s Service experience. When images are required, the text will now appear in red, Service History will now show badges on the filter icon when filters are active, and you can now tap on service details when a service is in progress.

Third Party App Activity

Tesla Third Party App Activity feature in update 4.43.5
Available Worldwide

If you’ve granted access to third-party apps, the Tesla app now provides a detailed activity report for each one. Previously, the app only displayed which third-party apps had access to your data and what data they could access.

With this update, the app now shows the total amount of data requested by third parties and provides a breakdown per app. It also displays the amount of data requested and the last access date per app, giving you more visibility into your data.

You can view your third-party activity by tapping the menu button on the top right, tapping on your profile photo and then choose Security & Privacy and then Third Party Apps.

Battery Health

Tesla Battery Health feature in update 4.43.5
Available Worldwide

Tesla has added a new Battery Health section under the Service menu. Tapping on it will show the state of your battery.

This appears to be a much simpler test than the thorough battery test that Tesla added in vehicle update 2025.8. If you suspect potential battery issues or serious degradation and have received update 2025.8, you can run Tesla’s battery test under Controls > Service > Battery Health.

Note: This option requires software update 2025.8 or higher.
