You drive a Tesla and are always eagerly waiting for new features? The Tesla Software Update 2025.2, the first update of the year, surprises with a range of undocumented features that go far beyond the official release notes. Here you will learn what improvements your vehicle can expect in terms of safety, user comfort, and service optimization.
Overview of Undocumented Innovations
In addition to known updates such as the improvements to the wipers for the Cybertruck, support for the cabin radar, and preheating of third-party chargers, Tesla has introduced other, previously uncommunicated changes:
-
Autopilot Warnings:
The warning messages that previously appeared at the bottom of the display are now shown in a highly visible, semi-transparent box at the top of the screen. For example, the message “Autopilot will not brake” is presented more prominently when the accelerator pedal is pressed. -
Supercharger Notifications:
After completing a charging session, you now receive a clear display that informs you of the total price, location, the amount of energy added, and the price per kWh – all directly after charging and without lengthy menu navigation. -
Recommended Tire Pressure:
The recommended tire pressure from the manufacturer is now also displayed in the lower left corner of the tire pressure card. This way, you always keep an eye on the optimal condition of your tires.
Improvements in Service Mode
For tech enthusiasts and workshop professionals, the update offers additional optimizations in Service Mode:
-
Brake Burnishing:
The parameters for the brake burnishing procedure have been adjusted so that a near-complete stop is required less frequently – but only for Legacy Model S and Model X. -
Charge Port Calibration:
New calibration routines for the charge port door and the locking mechanism have been integrated into the charging settings. These functions are essential after replacing the charge port and apply to all Model 3 and Model Y. -
Signal Viewer Panel:
For vehicles with AMD Ryzen processors, there is a new panel that displays multiple signal values live in a graph. If a value is not available, the display automatically pauses. -
Noise Recording Panel:
Specifically for the Cybertruck, the recording duration has been reduced to 30 seconds and the download routine has been improved – allowing diagnostic audio to be used even more efficiently.
Outlook on Upcoming Updates
In addition to the undocumented features in Update 2025.2, Tesla has already announced the next software rollout. Update 2025.8.3, which includes FSD Supervised 12.6.4 & 13.2.8, is in a small testing phase and will be rolled out more widely soon. It remains exciting to see what other innovations and optimizations await us in the future!
Conclusion
The Tesla Software Update 2025.2 once again proves that behind the official release notes, there are often many exciting hidden features. From optimized warnings to new service tools – the undocumented changes help ensure that your Tesla remains at the cutting edge of technology.
