Tesla Insurance policy holders can initiate and manage claims.

Support for bringing disconnected Powerwalls back on Wi-Fi

You can now view nearby Tesla Superchargers by going to the Location section of the app. At the bottom of the screen you'll see nearby Superchargers along with their availability and distance from your Tesla.

You can swipe up on the section to show additional locations.

Tapping on a Supercharger will give you the ability to send the location to your Tesla's GPS.

On the app's main screen, you can now tap on the miles or percentage of the battery left to switch between miles or percentage.

Switching to miles or percentage will not switch your setting in your Tesla.

During or after a charging session you will now be able to view how much your car has been charged.

If your car's range display is set to miles or kilometers, the app will show you how many mi/km have been gained during the charging session.

If your display is set to percentage then the app will show you how many kWh have been added.

The amount charged will automatically be reset when the next charging session begins.

If 'Scheduled Charging' or 'Departure Charging' is enabled and your car is plugged in, your next charging session will appear underneath the car's visualization.

If you need quick access to start a Light Show, you can add the new quick actions icon to the Quick Actions area.

Tip: Did you know you can have up to five icons in the Quick Actions area?

After you have new Sentry Mode clips or save new Dashcam footage, your Tesla app will show this new Recent Clips button, giving you quick access to the new Dashcam Viewer.

You can now start or schedule a Light Show directly from the Tesla app. You'll be able to pick from any Light Show available, select a start time, adjust the volume and choose whether "Dance moves," are enabled or not.

To start a Light Show, go to Schedule and tap Light Show.

As part of the 2024 Holiday Update, Tesla added the ability to view your dashcam recordings through the Tesla app. This wasn't an easy feat as Tesla needs to stream the contents of the USB drive securely over the Internet so that you can view them on your phone. Recordings are not stored on Tesla's servers and are end-to-end encrypted.

The app lets you view Sentry Mode and Dashcam recordings, delete them or save clips to your device. The app will also show you any events that triggered a recording and show which camera views contain events by displaying the camera dot in red.

The Dashcam Viewer is found under Security & Drivers.

Tesla made several small changes to the Apple Watch app in this update.

You will now see a large 'Set Up Watch Key' button at the bottom of the app. Setting up the Watch Key requires vehicle update 2024.44.25 or higher.

Before you set up a Watch Key, the range indicator is now at the top right corner, instead of the lock/unlock button.

The 'Set Up Watch Key' button now takes place of the frunk, lock/unlock and climate buttons, but setting up the Watch as a key will let you view the additional buttons.

Tesla has addressed an issue where the Tesla Energy widget was not displaying information.

You can now easily report Supercharger issues by finding the relevant Supercharger on the map and tapping on Report an Issue. You can then pick from a range of issues.

While Tesla already monitors speeds and availability from its Superchargers automatically, there are some things they can't monitor, such as insufficient lighting, accessibility, and cleanliness.
