With the internal rollout of the Tesla Software Update 2025.8 is testing Tesla is currently testing a range of functions that could revolutionize the driving experience. In this article, you can find out which features have already been announced and how they will improve your Tesla-experience - purely for the information of our European readers.

Adaptive Headlight Support
Tesla is getting ready to Adaptive Headlight Support in its vehicles. Lars Moravy, VP of Vehicle Engineering, confirmed that the refreshed Model Y will be the first in North America to be equipped with Matrix headlights. This technology will also be introduced in other models such as the Cybertruck, Model S, Model X and Model 3 will be available.

Grok Support
Another exciting feature is the possible inclusion of Grok Support. The latest smart assistant from xAI, Grok 3, could Tesla-vehicles with intelligent voice control soon. Although a launch in spring is more likely, initial tests as part of the 2025.8 update give cause for anticipation.

Cybertruck updates
The Cybertruck is also benefiting from the update test phase. In addition to new suspension controls, which may be implemented via the Tesla app, a solution is also being worked on for the problem with cold pre-treatment. Some Cybertrucks had difficulties reaching maximum charging speed in cold temperatures - a problem that is to be addressed in this update.

In-Cabin Radar Support
Another important point is the in-cabin radar support. Already with older Model Y In-Cabin Radar is already being activated in older vehicles to replace conventional seat occupancy sensors. In the future, this technology will also be implemented in other models and enable the detection of passengers, including those in the rear.

New navigation routing options
The new navigation routes introduced in China - such as "Least Congestion", "Prefer Highways" and "Lowest Tolls" - could soon also be available in North America and Europe. A function that would particularly benefit everyday driving, as it should help to find the quickest and most convenient route.

Trailer Profiles and Custom Vehicle Wraps
First introduced as an exclusive feature on the Cybertruck Trailer Profiles will also be used in other tow-hitch-compatible models such as the Model S, X and Y in the future. The ability to customize individual vehicle wraps and license plate visualizations will also be rolled out - a feature that was already introduced in the 2024 Holiday Update.

Sentry Mode Efficiency Update
Last but not least, the update brings improvements to the Sentry Mode. Already achieved in November 2024 Tesla a reduction in energy consumption of almost 40%, which is to be extended to other models in the future. This increase in efficiency ensures more sustainable use of the safety functions.

Release date and outlook
Tesla is initially testing the 2025.8 update internally with employees - as usual, before it is made available to the general public. The public rollout usually takes place within one to two weeks. We can therefore look forward to seeing which of the announced features will soon be available in your Tesla will soon find their way into your home.
