This Robotaxi app update adds support for picking up passengers at airports. According to the new phrases in the app, the user will first choose the airline/terminal, then their pickup spot. The app will display the Robotaxi’s ETA during the selection process.

Tesla has also added a new "airport” icon in the app.

Tesla announced late last night that the Bay Area ride-hailing service now serves San Jose Mineta International Airport, making it the first supported airport for pickups, with others expected to come later.

New phrases in the Robotaxi app include:

'alicorn_airline_picker_all': 'All'

'alicorn_airline_picker_header': 'Select your airline'

'alicorn_airline_picker_popular': 'Popular Airlines'

'alicorn_footer_title_confirm_pickup': 'Confirm the pickup spot'

The Robotaxi app will now notify you within the app if your phone's battery is low. The app will say, “Auto-unlock relies on your phone’s battery. Leep it charged to ensure a seamless pickup.”

While a working phone is important for any Tesla as it can serve as the vehicle’s key, it’s especially important for the Robotaxi since it’s the user’s only method to open the Robotaxi’s doors.

There are a variety of new phrases in this app update that suggest Tesla will offer the ability for users to schedule Robotaxi rides in the future. This will be useful when a rider has a future event with a hard start time, such as an event or flight.

This will allow the user to have a vehicle ready at their pick-up location at the scheduled time, rather than having to wait 5-15 minutes for a vehicle to arrive.

The new strings include: alicorn_prebook_banner_session_details_missing, alicorn_prebook_banner_socket_disconnected, getPrebookPickupPoint and others.

According to code found in this app update, Tesla is now preparing an Android version of the Robotaxi app. This is the first version of the app that we see phrases such as:

android_native_alicorn_android_12_ble_permission_notification_content

android_native_alicorn_status_bluetooth_disabled

With the Robotaxi app launching in the Apple App Store last night and with the discovery of these new phrases, we expect an Android version to be released soon.

In this app update, Tesla states, “We are working on accessibility rides. For now, you can access WAV rides at: “ and then mentions two companies, including Lone Star Medical Transportation and CapMetro Access.

They link off to their websites, where users can book a traditional accessible ride that accommodates wheelchairs.

However, perhaps the most interesting this, is that Tesla is using the image above of the Robovan when talking about accessible rides.

• Live activity vehicle commands.

• Add license plate to the watch live activity.

Editorial note: The Robotaxi app already supports great live notifications, known as Live Activities on iOS. With this update, they’re improving it by adding vehicle controls directly to it.

Show ride cancellation notification when app is foregrounded.

Editorial note: You’ll now receive a notification within the Tesla Robotaxi app to let you know that your ride was canceled.

This app update, which is version 25.9.0, is slightly newer than the version that became available in the Apple App Store earlier today. The App Store app is version 25.8.10.
