Reorganized Solar and Powerwall settings to focus on your Home.

Storm Watch status and event opt-out for Powerwall.

Details:

Additional information is now displayed in Storm Watch. It now lists individual events and lets you opt out of recharging your Powerwall using grid power.

This is an undocumented change in this release.

The app is now localized into several new languages including Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian and Slovenian.

This is an undocumented change in this release.

When going into the climate section of the app, you can now see whether automatic heated/cooled seats are enabled. You can also turn off the automatic seat temperature and adjust the seat manually.

When automatic seat heaters are enabled, you'll see the temperature that the seat is set to and 'Auto' will be displayed underneath.

This is an undocumented change in this release.

You can now cool your seats directly from the app. If you have your seat temperature set to auto it'll automatically switch between cooled and heated seats for you.

If you prefer to not use automatic seat heaters, you can pick from heated or cooled seats by tapping on the seat.

This is an undocumented change in this release.

There are now additional actionable notifications that let you adjust various features directly from the notification.

Tesla continues to incorporate additional features into its app. Soon we will have the ability to not only turn on Climate Keeper, but Dog Mode and Camp Mode directly from the app as well.

Camp Mode is also a great way to keep your car's music playing after all the doors have been shut.

It looks like Tesla is preparing to display vehicle release notes directly in the app, instead of just in the vehicle. You can expect these release notes to be specific to your vehicle and match the release notes in your car.

Tesla has added an additional screen that provides more information on how to set up your Apple Watch as a vehicle key.

The process is extremely easy and just requires you to be near the vehicle and tap the Set Up Watch Key.

The "State of Charge" complication for Apple Watch has been renamed "Vehicle Battery," to make it clearer that it's the vehicle's battery and not a Powerwall.

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.

Pair your watch as a key and use your favorite Tesla App functions on Apple Watch?

Editorial note: To add the Tesla app to your Apple Watch follow these steps:

Scroll all the way until you get to 'Available Apps'. Find Tesla in this list and tap on install. It will take several minutes for the app to be installed on your watch.

Although this feature is a part of Tesla's Holiday update, it's available now and does not require a vehicle update to install. However, it does require newer vehicle software to issue commands.

Requires watchOS 11.0 or later, which is available for Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen), Apple Watch Series 6 and later and Apple Watch Ultra.

Watch and save Dashcam and Sentry Mode clips at Security > Dashcam Viewer.
