Model 3, Y, S and X owners will begin to be able to install the update that is being deployed in all good American breweries.
Apple Music finally integrated natively
If he was already possible to use Apple Music in your Tesla, you had to go through Bluetooth until then of the iPhone, with quite complicated song browsing in the absence of CarPlay. Moreover, the sound quality is not really ideal with this wireless connectivity offering little speed.
Tim Cook and Elon Musk being friends once more since their bromance at Apple Park, Apple and Tesla can finally get back to business. In this regard, it might also be time for Tesla engineers to adapt their app to the Apple Watch, which would avoid going through third-party applications with sometimes dubious security.
Apple Music is therefore accessible in 4G subject to having premium connectivity and a subscription to the service. Spotify remains the default player – free and linked to the car. A small QRCode displayed on the screen will help you to synchronize the account.
Tesla also took the opportunity to improve media controlswhich are closer to the driver (this will displease the passenger): just swipe up to access “Recents and favorites” and “Sources” and left or right to also access journeys and information such as the tire pressure – a welcome return to this handy feature.
Finally, let us point out the arrival of a Track mode for the Model Y Performance – a good point for those who have spent a small fortune on this overpowered Made In Germany SUV.
Steam finally available!
This time, it’s official, Steam is finally coming to Tesla! A priori reserved for AMD chips, given the quality of the games.
If you have an S/Y Mode with an AMD chip, you will probably have to wait a bit: only recent Model S and X are entitled to the online gaming platform for now.
Mahjong and an improved dog mode
This version 2022.44.25 also offers a new game, Mahjong, well known to PC and Mac users In the 90s.
Another novelty, a new mode allows streamer the indoor camera from the mobile application (following configuring the thing in the menus Controls, security
). This makes it possible, for example, to monitor children pets when Dog mode is activated (for children, prefer Camping mode, which allows you to watch Netflix – even if it is specified that it is not recommended to leave your children in an unsupervised vehicle)
Finally, a few more minor improvements here and there, like the possibility of varying the level of ventilation while keeping the setting automatica confirmation message to validate the transfer of a call to the car, or the search for contacts via Bluetooth.
The car can fart remotely
Now that we have finished detailing the respectable functions, let’s move on to the fun little additions. For example, the mobile application will be able to blow up the car remotely – a function previously reserved for the presence of the driver in the passenger compartment.
Tesla has also improved the famous festive animation with sound and lights : it will be possible to program it 10 minutes in advance or to create a scenography with several people.
Finally, Rainbow mode will be configurable to be permanently active. If you like magical unicorns – a personal request from Tim Cook, it seems.
