Tesla’s 2026.26 Summer Update brought Grok commands for calls, music and climate controls, preferred routes, and automatic navigation that adapts to your routine. It also added custom wrap uploads directly from your phone, adjustable driving visualization zoom, and Caraoke scoring on supported vehicles.
Alongside those headline features, Tesla also included smaller changes that weren’t mentioned in the release notes.
Here’s a look at the undocumented features in Tesla’s 2026.26 update.
New Tesla Wraps
Tesla has added a couple new wraps to its digital vehicle wrap feature in this update. This includes the Summer Camp wrap (in photo above) that Tesla advertised with the 2026 Summer Update.
Shift Icon on Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster on the Model S and Model X will now show an icon when you shift into drive or reverse, making it more obvious that the vehicle has shifted.
Destination Icons
With the exception of Superchargers, destination icones used to all be the same color. With this update, destination icons will now appear in their own unique category color category points of interest now have their own colored icon. For example, parks will be green, restaurants will be orange and stores will be blue
Rear Screen Lyrics Removed
Tesla’s Caraoke feature, which lets passengers sing along to popular songs has been updated in this update. However, one popular feature has been removed. The rear screen in supported vehicles no longer shows lyrics when a user is using Caraoke.
Instead users will now now have to use their mobile devices to see lyrics on their phone, which was a feature added in this update.
Browser Bookmark Sync
Your web browser bookmarks are now synced along with your Tesla data, meaning that they’re now available across all of your vehicles.
Web Browser Zoom
The browser zoom level has been increased to make content appear larger. On some sites, such as X, or YouTube, this could trigger a different viewport, causing the site to look more like the tablet or mobile version.
While the Tesla browser is based on Chromium, you can't manually adjust the zoom level.
Visualization Zoom Shortcut
You can change the new visualization zoom level while driving. A small magnifying glass icon appears near the top-right of the visualization and can be tapped to change the zoom level to 0.5x, 1x, or 2x.
If you’re using full-screen visualizations, then the magnifying glass icon appears in the bottom-left corner.
Grok Voice Improvements
Grok now uses Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0. Grok Voice is Grok’s speech-to-speech engine that helps it better understand an individual’s voice and tone, rather than just converting their voice to text.
This engine also improves Grok’s speech output as well, making it behave more like a human’s voice.
Grok Highlights Menus
When you use Grok to bring up a feature or option in settings, Grok will now highlight the area in pulsating blue.
Improved Lighting in Visualization
In update 2026.14, Tesla improved vehicle visualizations by switching to Unreal Engine to render vehicle models. However, some of the colors and lighting looked off.
With this update, Tesla has tweaked the lighting effects, making the vehicle colors more accurate.
Service Mode Improvements
Entering Service Mode now activates a default profile to isolate customer data, helping to prevent technicians from inadvertently accessing customer media accounts or modifying customer settings during service.
Models: All
The Signal Viewer panel now supports viewing multiple CAN signals on the same chart for easier comparison and analysis. Signals can be dragged between charts to group related data, moved to an empty space to create a new chart, or reordered by dragging chart cards. Charts can also be paused to inspect specific values and resumed to continue live streaming.
Models: Model 3 and Model Y with AMD Ryzen infotainment processor, Model S (2021+), Model X (2021+), Cybertruck
Rear Spoiler Visualization
On the Model Y Performance, Tesla has added the vehicle’s spoiler back to the in-car visualization.
FSD Arrival Icons
If you’re on FSD v14.3.9, you’ll also receive the updated destination icons, which used to just show a P icon for park. the icon now features a white border around it and changes between a P and a vehicle icon, if you choose Pull Over instead of Park for the arrival option.
Next Update
Tesla’s next update, version 2026.32, is already rolling out to some vehicles. It includes features such as wheel visualizations without the aero covers, improvements to Apple Music and an ad blocker in the Tesla browser.
Look for it in your vehicle in the coming weeks.
