What information is available about the new software update 2023.38? The first release notes from "notateslaapp" give an insight into what is coming and what changes Tesla owners can expect. Here we give a clear insight into new features that will be included in the update 2023.38.
Fast warning lights after an accident
With the 2023.38 software update, we've optimized the hazard warning lights in your vehicle. If your vehicle is involved in an accident and there are still working hazard warning lights, the flashing frequency will be increased after an accident. This is done to increase the visibility of the vehicle and clearly warn other road users.
Predicting the availability of charging stations
The charging planner in your Tesla now predicts availability and wait time by taking into account travel time for you and other Tesla vehicles on the way to the charging station. This prediction should help you better plan your trip and avoid unnecessary wait times.
Location Sharing
Tesla is introducing a feature that lets you control your vehicle's live location sharing. When an app requests live location, an icon will appear at the top of the touchscreen. Location sharing can be enabled or disabled under "Controls" > "Security" > "Allow mobile access". This also affects access to the Tesla app.
Windows during the update
During a software update, automatic window down and up may not be active when a door is opened. With this update, the windows will shut down slightly during the installation so that the doors can still be opened. After the update, the windows will return to their original position. This helps to make the update process as smooth as possible.
The availability of each update may vary depending on model & location.
