We’re here with another round of undocumented features, this time for Tesla update 2025.32, which has now been deployed to the majority of the fleet.
While this release is much smaller than Tesla’s 2025.38 update, it includes several notable improvements, such as the new Low Power Mode, improvements to Rave Cave, and the utilization of Tesla Vision for improved airbag deployments.
However, some of the biggest features of this update were actually left undocumented, which included improvements to PIN to Drive and shorter periods for FSD strike forgiveness.
Let’s go through all the undocumented changes in Tesla update 2025.32.
FSD Strikes
Tesla has reduced the “strike forgiveness” period for FSD from seven days to 3.5 days. Strikes are given when drivers fail to stay attentive while using FSD or Autopilot.
One strike is now forgiven every 3.5 days the driver goes without getting an additional strike. This counts days when FSD is not used as well. Hitting the limit—five strikes on a vehicle with a cabin camera or three without—temporarily suspends FSD access.
The change comes ahead of FSD v14, which is expected to ease driver monitoring. Despite the adjustment, Tesla stresses drivers must remain alert.
Summon Standby
Summon Standby energy consumption is lowered in this update by disabling it during periods of low usage. Summon Standby will be automatically disabled between the hours of midnight and 6 am.
Summon Standby allows the vehicle to remain awake and processing data so that Summon can be used immediately after opening the Tesla app. The feature can be disabled completely under Controls > Autopilot.
Grok Reminder
For vehicles with Grok, which was introduced in update 2025.26, Tesla now distinguishes a difference between holding down the microphone button (or right scroll wheel on older vehicles) and just tapping it.
A long press of the button will activate Grok, while a tap will activate the older voice command system.
With this update, Tesla is now reminding users that they’ll need to hold down the mic button to activate Grok, whenever they activate voice commands.
PIN to Drive Supports Start FSD From Park
Tesla’s futuristic ‘Start FSD from Park’ feature, which allows the vehicle to shift out of park and start driving with the driver’s supervision, is now available for more users. It wasn’t previously available if you used PIN to Drive.
Tesla’s PIN to Drive feature, which forces the driver to enter a PIN before the vehicle can be driven, unfortunately, directly prevented users from using Start FSD from Park. If you had PIN to Drive enabled, then the Start FSD button wouldn’t even show up.
However, with this update, Tesla now supports both features concurrently. For anyone who has PIN to Drive enabled, you’ll simply have to enter the PIN after tapping the Start FSD from park button.
Drowsiness Detected
Newer Tesla vehicles have been detecting when a driver gets drowsy for a while now. However, with this update, Tesla is now recommending activating FSD, instead of taking a break, if it detects the driver getting drowsy.
Improved Visualizations
Tesla has improved visualizations while in reverse on Intel-based vehicles. Previously, while a vehicle was in reverse, it would display the more basic Autopilot visualizations. With this update, Tesla is now rendering FSD visualizations while the vehicle is in reverse, letting drivers see more detailed surroundings, such as curbs and other obstacles.
This change only applies to vehicles with FSD.
Bluetooth Audio
There’s often an audio delay while streaming content over Bluetooth. While this delay often goes unnoticed when playing audio files, it causes an audio sync issue when playing video on a mobile device.
This update greatly reduces the audio delay on newer vehicles that include AMD-based infotainment units. This results in more responsive buttons when pausing or playing audio content, as well as video content that is better synced to the audio.
Service Mode Improvements
Software Reinstall while on External Power Supply
The Software Reinstall button will be unavailable if a Low Voltage (LV) external power source is used to support the vehicle. A Mid-Voltage (MV) power source must be used instead.
Models: Cybertruck
Chinese Translations for Some ODIN Routines are Available
Chinese translations are now available for some ODIN routines in Service Mode. The translated fields include the Title, Description, User Facing Impact, and Inputs. If a Chinese translation is available for the routine, it will be displayed automatically if the locale is set to zh-CN. To view the text in English, touch the 'Show English' button.
Models: All Vehicles
Note: This is included in update 2025.32.3 and later.
Next Update
Tesla’s next update, version 2025.38, has already been deployed to a considerable portion of the fleet, with approximately 30% of vehicles having already received a variant of it, the most recent being 2025.38.3.1.
If you haven’t received it yet, check out photos and videos of all the features, including the new charger visualization. For Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck vehicles with AMD Ryzen infotainment units, it also includes the new Tron Mode.
