Tesla starts releasing Spring 2025 software update

A few days ago, Tesla announced the Spring 2025 software update, and it’s now rolling out for eligible cars, including new features, enhancements, and optimizations for a better user experience.

Note that this update is releasing in batches and will take some time to reach all the cars. Below, you can check the full release notes for the Spring 2025 software update.

Alternative Trip Plans

Multiple trip plans are now available for you to choose from, allowing you to better suit your travel needs.

• Fastest: offers the quickest route.
• Best Amenities: prioritizes stops near open and highly rated restaurants, shops, and restrooms.
• Fewer Stops: minimizes charging stops.

Avoid Highways

Navigation can now avoid highways when possible, providing an alternative route that bypasses major roads.

Go to Controls > Navigation > Avoid Highways.

Dashcam Update and Side Camera Recording

Your vehicle’s side cameras (B-Pillar) will now be recorded to both Dashcam and Sentry clips. The Dashcam Viewer app has also been updated with a grid view, making it easier to access and review recordings.

Save Trunk Height Based on Location

Customize the opening height of your trunk and save it as the default or for a specific location, such as your garage. To set a height, pause the trunk while it’s moving using the touchscreen. Alternatively, manually adjust to your preferred height, then press and hold the trunk close button until you hear a chime.

To set your existing trunk opening to the factory default height, or to clear any saved locations, go to Controls > Service > Remove Saved Locations.

Keyboard Languages

Easily switch between different language input methods on your touchscreen. To add keyboards, go to Controls > Display > Keyboards. To switch between them, long-press the global icon on your keyboard and select the desired keyboard.

Keep Accessory Power On

Use or charge devices through the low voltage outlets, USB ports, or the inductive phone charger after exiting the vehicle, as long as the battery is above 20%.

When enabled, these ports remain powered even if you are not present, and the vehicle is not in use. Note that this may increase the vehicle’s power consumption, even if no device is connected.

Go to Controls > Charging > Keep Accessory Power On.

Minor Updates

• When viewing a charger location page, nearby restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance are displayed at the bottom.
• Media search results are now filtered by sources, providing faster and more streamlined access to content.
• Sign in with your Amazon Music Free account. Requires Premium Connectivity or an active WiFi connection.
• You can now shuffle an entire Apple Music playlist that contains more than 100 songs.
• See what song will play next on YouTube Music playlists in the ‘Up Next’ view of the media player.
• In your Navigation settings, you can choose to show or hide chargers on the map that are not owned or serviced by Tesla.
• If your hotspot is enabled, it will automatically connect to your vehicle once you start driving, so you won’t have to reconnect each time.
• This update includes important security fixes and improvements.
