2023 TESLA MODEL Y SOFTWARE UPDATE 2023.44.30.5.1 WALKTHROUGH REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of Tesla's software update 2023.44.30.5.1 for the 2023 Model Y. The reviewer highlights several key new features, including enhanced Apple Podcasts integration, new Tesla Arcade games and controller support, and a significantly improved Trip Planner accessible via the mobile app. The ability to view live camera feeds from all around the vehicle in the Tesla app, including the new pillar cameras, is noted as a useful addition. The automatic blind spot camera, which provides a visual alert with red shading when an object is detected in the blind spot, is demonstrated, though its sensitivity is questioned. A major point of discussion is the "Autopilot Suspension" feature, which introduces "strikes" for forced disengagements, leading to a one-week suspension of Autopilot after five such incidents. The reviewer also touches upon minor updates like playlist shuffling and improved charging location filters. While the reviewer acknowledges the usefulness of many features, the blind spot monitoring's real-world effectiveness and the preconditioning for non-Tesla chargers require further testing.
