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.

Tesla App 4.12 Release Notes

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.
