NOT ALL TESLA VEHICLES WILL GET THE HOLIDAY UPDATES

EV Channels Review

The latest Tesla holiday software update (2023.44.30.7) brings a host of new features, but not all are universally available across the vehicle lineup. The reviewer highlights several key additions, including enhanced alternate route display, customizable lock sounds (with a humorous preference for the 'fart' sound), and improved live camera views accessible via the app, provided you have premium connectivity. A significant point of discussion is the new cabin camera monitoring, which the reviewer finds overly sensitive, leading to potential suspensions from Autopilot for perceived inattentiveness. The park assist upgrade, featuring high-fidelity 3D visuals, appears limited to Hardware 4 vehicles. While features like rear-screen gaming and Bluetooth headphone support are noted, their utility is deemed limited for the reviewer's household. The reviewer expresses mixed feelings about the sensitivity of the cabin camera and the new suspension policy, suggesting a need for a more balanced approach. Overall, the update offers exciting new functionalities, but hardware limitations and software sensitivity temper the enthusiasm.
