With this update, Tesla has turned on new Tesla Home features, including Opticaster, its AI-based home energy management system.

This system improves the prediction of your energy use, as well as when to sell, store, or use the power generated by your solar panels.

Tesla also enabled Wall Connector Smart Charging, which will automatically set your Wall Connector to start charging your vehicle at the cheapest rate if you have a time-of-day energy plan.

In addition, Tesla enabled the long-rumored support for Smart Breakers, which let you and the Tesla ecosystem turn certain home features on and off based on whether you’re connected to the grid.

Tesla appears to be adding FSD authentication to its vehicles, according to this app update. Various phrases in this update that suggest a new authentication feature include:

fsdIdentityCheckCloseButton

fsdIdentityCheckFailedMessage

fsdIdentityCheckFailedTitle

showFsdIdentityCheckFailedDialog

It sounds like this will include a new dialog window that will authenticate the user before FSD can be enabled. This could prevent unauthorized access, or it could potentially enable FSD on rental or loaner vehicles if the owner owns or subscribes to FSD.

This Tesla app update hints at what could be an exciting feature centered around app sharing. It sounds like users will be able to share an app with their vehicle. Unfortunately, there aren’t many details, and this could be anything from opening up an existing Tesla app in the vehicle to opening up a web browser to a specific page like an X.com post.

Some of the new phrases include getShareToVehicleUrl and getSelectedVehicleSupportsAppShare.

However, it appears not all vehicles will be supported, as evidenced by various strings that check whether a vehicle supports app sharing, including getSelectedVehicleSupportsAppShare and getSelectedVehicleSupportsAppShare.

The good news is that we won’t have to wait long, as it looks like this feature will be enabled in Tesla’s next update, version 2026.26. This app update states that “Vehicle Software 2026.26+ Required.”

Tesla is adding new APIs to the Tesla app that provide more information about the state of FSD on a vehicle. Some of the new strings hint at the FSD Streaks feature, including hasFsdLast7DaysUsage and hasFsdTotalMilesThisMonth.

Tesla has also added flags for hasRainbowRoadEnabled and hasFsdActive.

The most likely scenario is that we’ll see a new feature in the app, similar to Tesla’s Self-Driving app in the vehicle, that’ll display the number of miles driven on FSD, streaks, and more. Tesla could then let users share their streaks on social media, similar to how it shares charging stats.

This update adds support for Tesla’s new Coastal Blue color in Europe.

The Tesla app officially lists Charge Stats 2 as a new feature; however, this feature has not been made public yet.

Charge Stats 2 is expected to build upon the Charge Stats feature already built into the app under Charging > Charge Stats. However, Tesla states that this feature will include new map visualizations, iconic charging sites, and milestone badges.

We expect Tesla to leverage some of the 3D Site Maps they’ve been building into AMD Ryzen vehicles and likely use similar badges to those they’ve used for Charging Passport.

Tesla includes new phrases in the app related to charge stats, which give us a limited look at the feature. Phrases, such as ChargeStatsMap and ChargeStatsGraph suggest there will be more than just badges and stats.

This feature is expected to be available soon.

While Tesla has supported iOS Live Activities notifications for a while, it still doesn’t support the equavient feature on Android called Live Updates.

This feature lets developers send auto-updating notifications that Tesla uses for Supercharging, Dog Mode (now called Pet Mode), Tesla service, and Robotaxi rides.

The new phrases in the app that suggest this feature is coming soon for Android are android_native_charging_notif_channel_desc, android_native_charging_notif_charge_level, and android_native_charging_notif_charging_idle_fee_warning_text, which are translated to “Live updates while your vehicle is charging”, “Charge: %1$d%%, “ and “Idle fee may accrue once charging has ended.”

These translations match the iOS Live Activities version of the feature.

Tesla has added a new image asset called vehicle-top-semi.png to the app. This will likely be used in a tutorial for the Semi since the rest of the app uses a 3D model.
