Tesla is adding cleaning fees to the Robotaxi. This app update adds new phrases such as “cleaning fee." The description for the cleaning fee reads:

'Additional cleaning was required for the vehicle after your trip. A fee has been added to your final cost to cover this service. Please contact us if you have any questions.'

The update doesn’t mention the cost of the cleaning, but users are likely to be notified of the additional fee once the vehicle gets back to the factory.

Tesla has always provided a way to report a lost or found item in a vehicle. However, they’re now limiting when you can report a lost item.

The app will now state “Report a Lost Item by {date}”. If a user tries to report a lost item after the expiration date, the app will warn the user that Tesla is “no longer accepting lost item reports.”

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.
