You can now adjust the Powershare limit for the Cybertruck through the Tesla app. This was previously only available to adjust within the vehicle.
Powershare lets your Cybertruck share power, acting as a Powerwall that can provide power to your entire house. To prevent the home from depleting your vehicle’s entire battery, you can set the Powershare limit, which will reserve some of the battery for the vehicle.
Tesla is now providing customers with templates for taking images when trading in a vehicle. Tesla is providing hundreds of templates that outline how a picture should be taken during the trade-in process.
These photos will then be processed by a system that automatically assesses the vehicle and detects any damage.
These vehicle outlines help customers understand what the photo should look like. It’s not clear whether Tesla superimposes these outlines when the customer is taking a photo, which would let the user line up their camera with their vehicle, or if they’re just showing the customer what a photo should capture.
There are over 400 templates available, including various vehicle models, including Teslas and third-party vehicles. They include different configurations, such as LHD and RHD, and cover sedans, SUVs, minivans, and other body types.
This app update adds additional feedback components, one of which called 'Brakes SW - Brake-by-Wire (Cybercab)', reveals that the Cybercab will feature brake-by-wire, instead of a traditional braking system.
Brake-by-wire, similar to steer-by-wire, allows the vehicle to brake without a physical linkage. Instead, an electronic signal is sent, which then activates the brake calipers.
In other vehicles, FSD controls the movement of the brake pedal that is then linked to the braking system. Since the Cybercab will eventually get rid of the braking pedal it’s presumably using for testing, Tesla can also remove some unnecessary brake linkage and instead let the Cybercab brake by sending an electric signal to activate the calipers directly.
In this update, Tesla has added additional code for its upcoming Smart Breaker integration.
Smart breakers add sensors and connectivity, such as Wi-Fi, to traditional electric panel breakers, letting automated systems, such as Tesla’s Powerwall, turn on or off supported breakers.
Beyond turning a circuit on or off, they can also provide detailed insight into how much energy connected devices are consuming.
For homes with Smart Breakers, Tesla will allow the customer to customize which breakers remain on during a power outage, and which can be turned off to save energy coming from the Powerwall.
Some of the new phrases in this app update include:
'For breakers you need while off-grid',
'energy_customize_smart_breakers_always_on_title'
'Learn About Smart Breakers'
"For breakers you don't need while off-grid"
Tesla is introducing Charging Mileage Cards, which will essentially be Supercharger gift cards, allowing owners to charge for free.
Tesla not only plans to allow users to gift these charging cards, but also to transfer or share them with friends. Right now, it sounds like these charging cards may be limited to China, but we could see this extended to other countries in the future.
Some of the new phrases related to charging mileage in this update include:
"CHARGING_GET_MILEAGE_CARD_SHARE_MESSAGES"
"CHARGING_MILEAGE_CARD_TRANSFER"
"charging_balance_supercharging_mileage_card_wechat_friend"
