The Tesla Diner is seamlessly integrated into the Tesla app and the vehicle’s software. When you place an order, it can be automatically charged to your Tesla account, and diners will be able to have their food delivered directly to the Supercharger they’re using.

• dinerSubtotal

Tesla is in the process of adding “Charge Pass” and “Multipass” charging cards that can be linked to your Tesla keycard. These keycards can then be used to pay for charging sessions at third-party chargers, making it easier for owners to charge at non-Tesla chargers.

Below are some of the phrases that were found in this app update:

• Tap your key card to charge at the Tesla MultiPass locations or use the Tesla app.

• Tap your key card to charge at Tesla Charge Pass locations or use the Tesla app.

• 3rd Party Charger

• 3rd Party Charging

• You can now use your vehicle key card ({{CARD_NAME}}) for tap and charge at participating Tesla MultiPass locations.

• getRoamingTokens

• roamingTokens

In addition to charging cards, Tesla is also adding something called Cross Region Charge History. This will be used to show charging history for third-party chargers across various regions and charging brands.

These are the related strings found in the app:

• CHARGING_HISTORY_CROSS_REGION

• ChargingCrossRegionHistorySessionDetailsScreen

• hasCrossRegionChargingHistory

• ChargingHistoryItemV2CNAndCrossRegion

Similar to the Supercharger details in Tesla update 2025.26, Tesla has added the same information to the Tesla app. When searching for a Supercharger, the app will now display more information about a specific Supercharger, including whether it requires paid parking or an access code for entry.

The full list of additions to Superchagrers includes:

• Pay to Park

• Valet Only

• No Restroom

• Access Code

• Parking Level

Tesla has added a new “Loyalty Lootbox.” While this is related to Tesla’s referral program, it’s not clear exactly what will change.

Tesla has continuously updated its referral program, so this change may be related to upcoming changes. Tesla currently allows owners to refer up to 10 customers per calendar year, earning $250 per referral.

This image here is included in this update app when referring to the Loyalty Lootbox. Tesla has also included these phrases when referring to the loyalty lootbox.

Strings

• LoyaltyHomeScreen

• LoyaltyBenefitsScreen

• isLoyaltyLink

• isLoyaltyEntryEnabled

• profile_settings_lootbox_description_loyalty

• enableReferralLoyaltyEntry

• Loyalty Benefits

• useLootboxLoyaltyData

• MAIN_MENU_LOYALTY

There is a new ‘Max Backup’ setting for Powerwall owners. This new setting allows the user to temporarily charge their Powerwall to 100% so that they have as much backup power available as possible during an outage.

Tesla has updated the Tesla app to have the same requirements as the Robotaxi app. The Tesla app on iOS now requires at least iOS 17, up from the previous requirement of iOS 15.

Apple’s iOS 17 is only supported on the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, and above. This means that the devices listed below, which were previously able to run the latest Tesla app, can no longer do so:

• iPhone X

• iPhone 8

• iPhone 8 Plus

• iPhone 7

• iPhone 7 Plus

• iPhone 6s

• iPhone 6s Plus

• iPhone SE (1st generation)

• iPhone SE (2nd generation)

• iPod touch (7th generation)

Tesla has added deep links for xAI in this update. Deep links are similar to regular links like https://tesla.com, but instead of using the scheme https:// or http://, they use a custom scheme, such as tesla://.

These links are used to open apps on the device, instead of websites. For example, tesla://shop opens the Tesla Shop within the Tesla app. When a user taps a notification from the Tesla app, it opens one of these deep links to direct the user to a specific part of the app.

This update includes code that would allow Tesla to send a notification that takes the user to any x.ai page via the Tesla app. This will likely be used for Tesla to send a notification to the user to authenticate the Grok app through the screen above.

This update essentially adds support for the Tesla Grok app, allowing users to log in to Grok and receive notifications on their phone from xAI / Grok.

Tesla has added extra logging for notification deep links. Some of the new logging messages include:

Passing xAI uri to operating system:
Opening tire service screen
Opening roadside assistance
Agent Chat - open notification
Processing notification - view:
Dropping unsupported raw uri:
Opening vehicle phone key screen
Sentry Alarm Preview - open notification
UWB Ranging Permission - open notification

Primary Tesla account holders can now hide the vehicle’s location visibility for secondary account holders in the Tesla app. This setting can be adjusted per secondary driver under Security & Drivers > Manage Drivers.

Note: Enabling this setting will hide the Location section of the app for the secondary driver, which also means they won’t be able to use it for other features, such as viewing nearby Superchargers or previewing a route.

Rate-Based Charging appears to be a new feature that will enable the Wall Connector to automatically charge the vehicle via the Powerwall when electricity prices are low.

This enables the Powerwall to discharge and put its energy into the vehicle, and then charge back up at low electricity rates, saving owners money.

The string powerwall_x_wall_connector_rate_based_charging_min_hours_charging_set implies a new future setting where the “Desired Charging Duration“ can be set, allowing more control over how long the vehicle charges in this new mode.

It’s unclear if this is related to this new mode, but there’s also a new string called wallConnectorSupports4HourChargingFactory which requires a minimum firmware version of 25.26 for the Wall Connector, which hasn’t been released yet.

The iOS permission alert string “Robotaxi allows you to use Siri to interact with your ride“ was found in some of the modules that are likely shared between the Tesla app and the Robotaxi app.

This implies a potential future Robotaxi app update could add support for Siri commands to control the Robotaxi, for example, “Hey Siri, Open Trunk“ or ”Hey Siri, Pull Over”.

The iOS permission alert string “Robotaxi accesses your calendar to share it with your ride“ was found in this update, implying potential future support for ride suggestions from calendar events that have a location associated with them, or even automatic ride bookings.

This is similar to Tesla’s Automatic Navigation in the vehicle, which allows a vehicle to automatically start navigating to a destination that’s entered in a calendar event.

Here are some new strings that are likely related to Tesla Assist, implying possible support for voice recognition and multiple language models in the Tesla app.

isSpeechAvailable
EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL
LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM
getSpeechRecognitionServices
tesla_assist_agent_transfer_chat_in_progress
tesla_assist_agent_support_case_created
tesla_assist_agent_transfer_routing_message
Speech recognition services can be queried for only on Android
