Tesla-Users know: With every update, in addition to the official new features, there are always numerous smaller features that remain uncommented. Update 2024.26 is no different. Here we summarize for you the hidden changes that do not appear in the release notes, but nevertheless improve the driving experience.
New display for planned preconditioning and charging processes
Tesla now shows when the next scheduled preconditioning or charging process will take place. This gives you all the important information at a glance directly in the climate menu or on the charging screen under Controls > Charging.
Hide music services depending on the profile
With the new update, you can simply hide music services that you do not use from the menu. Exciting: The settings are now saved per driver profile. This allows different drivers to customize their music player without having to take other people's favourites into account. The option can be found under Audio settings in the music player.
Audio balance per profile
Another interesting function: the audio balance can now also be saved per driver profile. This means that every driver has their preferred sound settings without having to constantly adjust them manually. You can find the settings for this in the music player under Balance.
Service tips in the Tesla-center
Do you have an appointment at the Tesla-service center? Your Tesla will display helpful tips on the screen when you arrive. The system will also remind you to check your appointment status in the Tesla-app to view your appointment status.
Reduce fan speed during phone calls
Another subtle improvement concerns comfort during phone calls: During auto climate control, the fan speed is automatically reduced to minimize distracting background noise. You can temporarily deactivate this option under Controls > Bluetooth.
New message: Key required
In situations where an action requires a key but none is nearby, a clear "Key required" message is now shown on the display.
Improved clarity of the front camera
Following the success in post-processing video recordings from the rear and side cameras, this technology has now also been applied to the front camera. This leads to a significant improvement in image quality and ensures sharper and more realistic video recordings.
Cruise control sound always active
The 2024.26 update brings a change to Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC): The previously deactivatable tone that sounds when TACC is activated or deactivated is now always active and can no longer be switched off.
New ambient lighting options
Tesla extends the ambient lighting options. Under Controls > Lights you can now adjust the brightness of the accent lights. The lights can also be configured so that they are only switched on when it is dark.
Conclusion
The 2024.26 update brings many small but nice new features that improve the driving experience for Tesla-owners even further. In particular, the customizable driver profiles, the improved camera recordings and the new lighting options show that Tesla is continuously working to improve user-friendliness.
