When the frunk is open, tapping the frunk button again in the app will no longer close it in the vehicle's in-app animation.

The frunk will now remain open since the vehicle doesn't have a powered frunk. The close animation in the previous app build lead to speculation that Tesla would add a powered frunk to future vehicles.

When music is being played in the vehicle, music controls will also show up in the app. With this update Tesla has redesigned the music controls slightly so that they're larger and easier to tap. The same music controls remain, which are previous song, play/pause, next song and volume up and down.

The notifications area in settings has seen a redesign as well. Under notifications Tesla now lists 'Vehicle' instead of just notifications, leading to speculation that Tesla may add notifications for additional products such as Powerwall, Solar and/or its Wi-Fi enabled Wall Connector.

The toggle buttons in the notifications area have also been redesigned to use native OS buttons intead of the previous circular blue checkboxes.

When you open the Service section of the app, any overdue maintenance items will now be highlighted at the top of the screen, with any overdue items checked off.

You can let the vehicle know which maintenance has been performed by using the Maintenance tool under Controls > Service > Maintenance.

Live Activity support for Supercharging on iOS 17.2+. Status updates will start automatically as soon as your charging session begins.

Editorial note: The live activity is also supported on the Apple Watch. When your phone is in use, Tesla supports Apple’s Dynamic Island, displaying your percentage charged and estimated time of completion.

However, while your phone is locked, the live notification displays a lot more information, including:

• Percentage of charge

• Live total cost

• Current power in kW

• Charging speed in miles charging per hour

• Total energy added (kWh)

This app update has updated the notification received when the app is closed completely. Instead of just warning you about the phone key not working as reliably, the app now also warns that the Supercharger Live Activity experience may also be reduced.
