A devoted Tesla Inc enthusiast recently disseminated details about the company’s latest software update, version 2024.2.6. This update brings forth a multitude of improvements, designed to meet both global and regional requirements.
The inclusion of Latin American map regions and Spanish language support in the update signifies Tesla’s forthcoming expansion into Chile and Colombia. This strategic move demonstrates the company’s commitment to widening its global footprint and catering to diverse markets.
Among the enhancements, users will benefit from safety-focused features such as “accident” and “closed road” markers directly on the maps. Additionally, Chinese drivers will have access to red light and speed camera displays, contributing to safer driving experiences.
The navigation system has undergone a significant upgrade, empowering users to customize routes based on speed, distance, and avoidance of tolls. This customization capability enhances user experience by providing greater control over navigation preferences.
Adding a touch of amusement, the software update integrates a “Gong Xi Fa Cai” song Easter egg, delighting users with a lighthearted and culturally resonant feature. Furthermore, practical concerns have been addressed, enabling drivers to remotely unlock Supercharger stalls equipped with ground locks, a common feature in select Asian regions.
Additional improvements encompass the ability to lower audio volume when parking, enhancing situational awareness for drivers. Notably, cars will now accurately estimate when battery heating will be completed, optimizing the efficiency of Supercharging sessions and enhancing user convenience.
