Tesla over-the-air updates explained and a look at the latest Christmas 2024 OTA update

Подробнее о видео

Teslas just keep getting better due to the over the air updates. Most people don't realise just how different Tesla are to other vehicles because of the way Tesla do these updates. The cars evolve like no others. They're not limited to interface or sat nav updates or minor bug fixes as some other manufacturers do. Because the Tesla operating system is so well integrated with all the hardware in the vehicle, Tesla updates can add new features and completely change how the car functions.
In this video, I run through the latest holiday update. Tesla bundles many new features into a major update every Christmas. They also do the same in the Spring & Summer.
This latest update, version 2024.44.25 includes Apple Watch support so your Apple watch can now operate the Tesla remotely and be your Tesla key. It also includes rear cross traffic alert, weather forecasts at your destination and precipitation mapping, as well as many other new features and improvements. My personal favourite is now the ability to set the state of charge when you arrive at your destination, so the charging stops (if required) change so you arrive at your preferred SoC.

In the video I also discuss referral codes (for the first time) and when is the best time to buy a new Tesla. Use or enter "matt55592" as a referral when purchasing any Tesla vehicle or product.

There's some further undocumented changes with this 2024.44.25.2 release which are shown here
