EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Holiday Update, version 2024.44.25, is a substantial feature drop, according to host Jordan. Key highlights include the highly anticipated Apple Watch app for car key functionality, improved dashcam and Sentry mode clip saving directly to a phone, and the addition of auto-shift between Drive and Reverse for the stockless Model 3 (Highland). SiriusXM is now available via internet for Model 3, Y, and Cybertruck. For road trippers, setting an arrival state of charge and searching along a route with estimated detour times are significant enhancements. Weather radar and precipitation maps are also integrated. Safety features see the addition of rear cross-traffic alerts, a feature long present in other vehicles. Cybertruck receives custom wrap and license plate customization, along with rear camera improvements. Smaller but notable additions include TuneIn Radio improvements, a new game (Boomerang Fu), and enhanced Sentry mode mobile notifications. The update is praised for being feature-packed, addressing long-standing user requests, and offering a significant improvement over previous holiday updates.
