Tesla’s next major software update, 2025.32, is now being tested by employees. This is generally one of the last phases before a public rollout begins, and we’ve got a fairly good idea of what’s coming up in this next major update.
Based on recent discoveries, confirmations from Tesla’s executives, and some long-standing user requests, 2025.32 is shaping up as the 2025 Summer Update, with a wide variety of features for many Tesla owners.
Low Power Mode
A recent decompile of the Tesla App revealed a new, highly-requested Low Power Mode, designed to combat vampire drain when the vehicle is parked for extended periods. This vacation mode button will disable all high-drain features like Sentry Mode, Summon Standby, Scheduled Preconditioning, and more, while keeping essential connectivity active.
Since the feature’s logic has already been found hidden in the app, it seems that the necessary vehicle update will follow and activate the new feature with update 2025.32. Read more about Low Power Mode.
B-Pillar Recording for Cybertruck
This is one of the most anticipated features for Cybertruck owners, and it has been confirmed to be coming soon. After being conspicuously absent since launch, Siddhant Awasthi, the Cybertruck Program Manager, finally confirmed that the B-pillar camera recording for both Sentry Mode and Dashcam is coming soon.
He stated that the development work has recently been completed, and the feature was pending final validation. The timeline for the 2025.32 release aligns perfectly with the completion of that process, so owners can look forward to 360-degree security soon.
The latest Tesla app added support for viewing the B-pillar cameras in Sentry Mode and Dashcam footage.
Wake Word for Grok
There are several other features we’ve seen recently that could also be enabled in update 2025.32, including a wake word to activate Grok. While we expected a simple wake word to activate the feature, Tesla is going all out here with surprises we weren’t expecting.
In China, Tesla introduced the “Hey, Tesla” wake word to activate their in-car assistant, which is different from Grok. However, this is much more than a wake word. The Model Y L includes seat-specific voice controls that allow users to carry on a conversation or restrict interaction with the voice assistant to only certain individuals in the car. This could come to Grok as well.
Unreal Engine Visualizations
Second is the arrival of Unreal Engine-based visualizations. Tesla is preparing to switch its in-vehicle visualizations from the open-source Godot Engine to the extremely powerful Unreal Engine. This one will likely be available for AMD-based (MCU3) vehicles, and likely not for older vehicles, due to the compute power required.
With this switch, expect Tesla to cover the visualizations it already includes with Godot, possibly with higher detail or better lighting. However, it’s what comes next that will be truly exciting.
We already know that Tesla is planning to add visualizations for trailers and potentially Cybertrucks, but we expect a lot more to be added in the future. First, expect traffic cones, garbage bins, and speed bumps to make a return, but after that, we may see a whole new set of visualizations that help the driver understand what the vehicle sees already. We could see poles, mailboxes, gates, and much more added to the visualization.
Grok Improvements
As Tesla’s in-car assistant, Grok, continues to mature, 2025.32 could bring a number of improvements, potentially focusing on expanding Grok's availability to more regions. Currently, Grok is limited to the United States and hasn’t been rolled out to any other regions.
There are a lot of improvements we expect in Grok, including:
Vehicle command integration
Expansion to new regions
We expect Tesla to continue slowly rolling out Grok and its capabilities across North America and Europe over the course of this year.
For now, we don’t expect Grok to be able to handle vehicle commands, but instead, we could see an optimized version of Grok for older, Intel-based (MCU2) vehicles as part of this release.
Custom Wraps & License Plate Visualization
In an almost forgotten feature, Tesla is due to add their custom wrap visualization feature to additional models. Tesla added support for the Cybertruck with the 2024 Holiday Update and later announced that the feature would also be coming to other models.
While Tesla already supports the Colorizer feature that allows you to change your vehicle’s color in the visualization and in the app, the custom wraps feature takes that to a whole new level, allowing owners to create their own vehicle skins with decals, words, and essentially anything you can imagine.
Quality of Life Improvements
Finally, a major update is the perfect time to add in some smaller, requested features. One of the top contenders is the ability to save lumbar support adjustments to driver profiles, a feature owners have been asking for. In update 2025.26, we saw improvements to Car Wash Mode, a new vehicle lock alert, and ambient lighting integration into Sentry Mode.
Update 2025.26 also expanded the Child Left Alone Detection support to New Zealand and Australia, so we may see that extended to North America or additional vehicles as well.
Upcoming FSD Update
Tesla update 2025.32 won’t include the upcoming September major V14 FSD Update, as Tesla always separates new vehicle features from FSD updates to minimize potential issues. However, for HW4 owners, that’s another exciting update to look forward to.
Release Date
That update will likely roll out on its own to early-access customers sometime in mid-to-late September, and with more expanded rollouts in October.
There’s a lot to expect in Tesla’s upcoming 2025.32 release, and it should start rolling out fairly soon. We typically see it start to go out one to two weeks after employees start receiving it. We initially spotted this update on August 20th, meaning that the initial set of vehicles could receive it toward the end of this month.
As with all updates, the features will likely vary from this list, but these give us a general idea of some of the features to expect based on decompiling software, speculation, and comments by Tesla executives.

Update: This update has now started rolling out to customers in a very limited fashion. So far, it looks like Low Power Mode and Dog Mode improvements have been added, but we could see new features as the update goes out to more models or regions. Check out the release notes for 2025.32.
