There were a lot of undocumented features with Tesla software update 2025.8, and now our favorite Tesla hacker, Greentheonly, has once again spotted two more upcoming features that are being added in the near future.
It is always nice to get sneak peeks into what Tesla is doing next, so let’s take a look at these two upcoming features and see what’s on the software team’s bucket list.
Tire Fill Assist
The first new feature that’ll be coming soon is simply titled “Tire Fill Assist.” Unfortunately, there isn’t much more to go on for this one, but we have a few ideas of what it could be used for.
Tesla already uses smart TPMS sensors (and also Smart Tire Treat Sensors) to relay information to the vehicle over Bluetooth, which makes it easy to keep track of your tire pressure. However, when you need to inflate one of your tires, you’ll either need a tire pressure gauge or head inside the vehicle to see what the vehicle is reporting.
Tire Fill Assist could be an option available in the vehicle’s Service panel that actively checks the Bluetooth TPMS while you’re filling them. Normally, these readings aren’t reported in real-time, so this feature could increase the rate at which tire pressure data is transmitted for a period of time. It could also give you audible feedback through the vehicle’s internal speakers or outside speaker (PWS) where the tire is approaching the set limit.
This is a feature available on other vehicles, so it isn’t too surprising that Tesla is adding something similar in their own software-focused way.
Routing Option: Lower Price
Another new option, according to Green, is a new routing option built around lower prices. This could consider toll roads, but one thing it’ll focus on is Supercharger pricing. Since stations offer variable pricing that also changes based on the time of day, Tesla could offer drivers different routing options.
Users will be able to tap a “View Lower Cost Charging” option to view cheaper nearby chargers that may be slightly more out of the way. This creates a balance and lets drivers choose whether they want to prioritize speed or savings.
Earlier this year, Tesla introduced new routing options in China, so this could be the start of a similar feature set in other regions. In China, Tesla added options such as fastest, least congested, prefer highways, and others, so hopefully we’ll finally see the long-awaited option to avoid highways.
Tesla already warns users when a site has a wait period and will automatically redirect vehicles to nearby alternative Superchargers, so this will be a similar feature, but instead of being based on congestion, it’ll be based on the user’s price preference.
While these are two small additions, they’ll undoubtedly improve the experience when a driver is in one of these circumstances. Green spotted these features in the production build of 2025.8. While they’re not active yet, it seems like it won’t be long before we get to experience these features for ourselves.
