In this app update, Tesla refers to a future feature that may allow you to share the vehicle with someone with some additional privacy. The feature may prevent others from viewing the vehicle's current location in the app, according to @Tesla_App_iOS.

Tesla appears to be adding more privacy changes lately. In car update 2023.38, Tesla now displays an icon in the status bar if a third-party app or service receives the vehicle's location.

A future app update may give you more granular access to whether the vehicle's location is accesible by other individuals or services.

In Canada, Tesla is testing a new app feature that adds Destination Chargers to the app, which appear alongside Tesla's own Superchargers.

Tesla has also added a sort option that lets you sort the list of nearby chargers by availability, distance, or power.

Tesla often tests new features in a specific region before making them more widely available in the future, and that will likely be the case with this new functionality.
