Tesla previously updated the Energy App back in December 2024, providing owners with a clearer picture of their vehicle’s power consumption. Now, with the rollout of the 2026 Spring Update, Tesla is pushing its energy tracking and trip management tools even further with a big set of improvements.
New Energy Widgets
One of the most noticeable changes in the Spring Update is the addition of energy graphs directly within the widgets near the music player for the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck.
Instead of having to open the full Energy App to see energy graphs, you can now access them from the trips widget at the bottom left corner of the display. As before, you can swipe left on the music player to access the Trips widgets, but you can now swipe down to reveal a new interface that displays an energy graph for each trip meter.

Trips in Energy App
The Spring Update also brings a total overhaul to the dedicated Trips Menu, removing previous limitations of Trip meters.
Trip meters are now part of the Energy app, rather than a section in Settings. The Energy app now includes three tabs, Drive, Park and Trips. With the move to the Energy app, Tesla is adding various features.
First, drivers are also no longer restricted to just two custom trip meters (Trip A and Trip B). The Trips section of the Energy app keeps the same trip meters as before, such as Current Drive, Since Last Charge, and others, but now lets you add unlimited custom trips.
Each trip meter now also has its own energy graph, letting you see consumption over certain periods of the trip.
The default view is an overview of all your trips, but you can tap a trip to see a more detailed view and additional options. To keep everything organized, you can provide a custom name for each trip.
Trips can be reset or even paused, allowing you to record only a portion of a trip.

Reducing the Guesswork with Range
By integrating these new visualization tools directly into the quick cards and vastly expanding the capabilities of the Trips Menu, Tesla is making it easier than ever for drivers to understand exactly how their vehicle uses energy. These quality-of-life improvements continue to make range anxiety a thing of the past by providing crystal clear, highly accessible data.
