This update adds support for the new Model Y Performance, including the model used in the app. We were able to render the 3D model in the app as pictured above.

The Model Y Performance will display the Ludicrous badge in the app, similar to the Model 3 Performance.

Tesla has added support for the new Model L Y in this update, including the 3D assets shown here. Not surprisingly, you’ll be able to control the ventilated seats in the second row through the Tesla app.

However, it doesn’t appear that the other powered functions, such as the thigh support in the front row or the powered armrests in the second row, will be controllable through the app.

It appears that Tesla plans to introduce challenges for users within the app. Several phrases appear in this update that refer to challenges for users, such as challenge_screen, CompletedChallenge, challenge_education_modal.

This could potentially be something where users earn badges or enter drawings for completing contests, but this app update doesn’t specify the challenges.

It looks like Tesla will soon feature a “one million Powerwalls” badge. Several phrases refer to one million Powerwalls, including OneMillionPowerwallsTextSection, OneMillionPowerwallsVideo and energy_site_one_million_powerwalls_1m_edition.

It appears that Tesla will soon be celebrating the installation of its one millionth Powerwall and will issue a special badge (pictured above) in the app.

View B-pillar side cameras with Mobile Dashcam Viewer (if supported).

Note: The Tesla app now supports viewing footage recorded from the vehicle’s B-pillars.

B-pillar camera recording was added to HW4 vehicles in the 2025.14 update, but the additional view were only available within the vehicle. Now, you’ll be able to access them in the app as well, and it’ll soon be available on the Cybertruck.

Tesla conveys important information through messages in the Tesla app, such as new vehicle delivery information.

Tesla is now laying the groundwork to be able to search through these messages in a future app update.

This app update hints at a new vehicle feature coming in a future app and vehicle update.

The upcoming feature will let users put their vehicles into a low power mode, effectively turning off all features that keep the vehicle awake and consume energy when it’s not being used.

This will be similar to how Car Wash Mode helps the user by turning off a variety of features at once, instead of having to remember to turn off each feature individually. This will be ideal when you’re leaving your vehicle for an extended period, such as when going on vacation.

Note: Image above comes from iOS’s low power mode, which is automatically activated when a device gets to 20% battery life. Tesla could potentially add something similar, where the vehicle is automatically put into a low power mode when it gets to 20%. Tesla already disables certain features, such as Sentry Mode, automatically when the vehicle gets to 20%.

Tesla improved the flow when experiencing a flat tire and going through the Roadside assistance feature in the app. The user can now select from a much wider variety of locations where the vehicle is located, such as a gated area, parking lot, or Supercharger.

The flow for adding user information has been updated, and the user can now select “I Don’t Know” when answering whether the vehicle has its original or aftermarket tires.

These are some of the new phrases in the app update related to roadside assistance:

ROADSIDE_GET_MOBILE_TIRE_SLOTS

There’s currently an issue with this app update that’s causing pre-configured phone keys to be removed.

While setting up the phone key again just requires tapping the Set Up button in the app, it does require you to have a card key with you.

If you don’t have a card key with you, you can still drive the vehicle, but you’ll need to unlock the vehicle in the app manually and then go to Controls and tap Start to drive the vehicle.

Update: Tesla has now fixed this issue in app update 4.48.1, and it’s now safe to update to the newest Tesla app.

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.
