Tesla has redesigned their Loot Box. In the home tab of the Loot Box, you can now easily browse awards, view available credits and view the amount of Free Supercharging Miles remaining.

In the Credits tab, Tesla has simplified the layout and increased the awards for the Model S and Model X.

Tesla significantly increased the credits offered for Model S and Model X referrals, increasing the credits to 20,000. The buyer of a new Model S or Model X will now receive $1,000 off the purchase price of their vehicle and also receive 3 months free of FSD.

The awards for the Model 3 and Model Y remain the same at 1,500 for buyers and 2,000 for the referrer.

In this update, Tesla references several phrases that could point at upcoming features to the Tesla app. The most interesting references include Boombox v2, Self Park Stand By Mode and Release Notes Videos.

Self Park Stand By Mode sounds similar to Tesla's Park Seek feature that has been mentioned in the past. These findings are thanks to Tesla_App_iOS.
