Tesla has added a new section to the Tesla app called Loyal Benefits. This section lists the loyalty benefits available to current and past Tesla customers. Tesla lists each model with key features and the benefits owners receive.

Existing owners get $500 off a Model 3 or Model Y, or $1,000 off the Model S, X or Cybertruck.

This feature was first seen in Tesla app 4.47.0, but it wasn’t exposed to customers until today.

Tesla has added code for a new shop button in the side menu of the app. Currently, to access the Tesla Shop from the app, the user must first tap “Discover” from the side menu and then the “Browse” button under “Tesla Shop.”

This change should eventually add a Shop button directly to the menu in the app, next to Refer and Earn and Discover.

Tesla has recently been focusing on adding upgrades to the Tesla Shop, such as lumbar pillows, a carbon fiber dash trim, and an Alcantara dash trim.

Tesla is working on integrating Sunrun into the Tesla app, potentially offering Sunrun customers even more features directly through the Tesla app. Sunrun is one of the U.S.’s leading residential solar and battery installers.

Tesla currently has a partnership with Sunrun via the Tesla Electric + Sunrun Flex Plan that allows owners in Texas to pay a low fixed rate while benefiting from home backup and better sellback rates.

You can find out more about the Tesla Electric + Sunrun Flex Plan here.

Tesla seems to be working on adding the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) to Wall Connectors. This would potentially allow third-party apps and services to control and receive data from the Wall Connector.

Here are some of the phrases related to the OCPP Wall Connector:

• Access Wall Connector Charging Data

• Control Your Wall Connector

• This is a supported Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) program.

• Remove access at any time in Vehicle Charging settings.

• Share Charging Data for Reimbursement


Tesla has added some new strings related to Actually Smart Summon. Vehicles that don’t support Actually Smart Summon receive a warning when going into the Summon menu.

This new update lets users suppress that warning so that they’re not continuously reminded about A.S.S. not being supported whenever they go into the Summon menu.

Here are the related strings:

• autopark_summon_ass_do_not_remind_again_message: "Do not remind me again"

• shouldSilenceAssNotSupportedPrompt

This update includes multiple references to an FSD Trial and new FSD terms during the delivery acceptance part of the app. This implies the app will, at some point, offer an FSD trial upon acceptance of a new vehicle delivery.

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.

• 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.

These are the related strings found in the app:

• CHARGING_HISTORY_CROSS_REGION

• ChargingCrossRegionHistorySessionDetailsScreen

• hasCrossRegionChargingHistory

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

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.

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
