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 also shows the recommend change interval for each item and a helpful graph that displays how much longer you have to go before the item should be serviced.

Primary Tesla account holders can now hide the vehicle’s location visibility for secondary account holders in the Tesla app. This setting can be adjusted per secondary driver under Security & Drivers > Manage Drivers.

Note: Enabling this setting will hide the Location section of the app for the secondary driver, which also means they won’t be able to use it for other features, such as viewing nearby Superchargers or previewing a route.

New Charging Mode

Tesla New Charging Mode feature in update 4.46.5
Undocumented
Undocumented

Rate-Based Charging appears to be a new feature that will enable the Wall Connector to automatically charge the vehicle via the Powerwall when electricity prices are low.

This enables the Powerwall to discharge and put its energy into the vehicle, and then charge back up at low electricity rates, saving owners money.

The string powerwall_x_wall_connector_rate_based_charging_min_hours_charging_set implies a new future setting where the “Desired Charging Duration“ can be set, allowing more control over how long the vehicle charges in this new mode.

It’s unclear if this is related to this new mode, but there’s also a new string called wallConnectorSupports4HourChargingFactory which requires a minimum firmware version of 25.26 for the Wall Connector, which hasn’t been released yet.

Robotaxi Siri Integration

The iOS permission alert string “Robotaxi allows you to use Siri to interact with your ride“ was found in some of the modules that are likely shared between the Tesla app and the Robotaxi app.

This implies a potential future Robotaxi app update could add support for Siri commands to control the Robotaxi, for example, “Hey Siri, Open Trunk“ or ”Hey Siri, Pull Over”.

Robotaxi Calendar Integration
