The first images of the new UI V12 on X were launched at the weekend and with the launch of the Cybertruck and its unique UI, there was great anticipation for an upcoming version for the existing models. The update that has now been shown, which could come as early as spring, shows a similar display to the Cybertruck and brings a significant refresh to the existing system. We have listed the other features of the latest software update here. Please note that this is a first look at the 2024.14 update and there may be other new functions that are not yet listed here. The various functions also depend on the model and country.
Visual update:
- Impressive vehicle control in full screen mode when the Tesla is parked
- Large playback controls and quick access to, for example, navigation favorites or the media player
- Expandable autopilot visualizations, with a smaller map at the top right for route guidance
- A slimmer and more compact driving mode bar and refined driving displays
(Available worldwide for vehicles with the Ryzen processor)
