Tyre configuration, driver door unlock mode and caraoke? Here’s what you can expect from Tesla’s new 2022.40.1 OS update
Last week, Tesla released its 2022.40.1 update that features battery preconditioning, driver door unlock, new radio station logos and so much more.
Earlier this year, Tesla released its OS 2022.12.3.2 update on 27 April 2022, featuring an additional Bottom Bar Customisation, a web browser that now runs on Chromium 98 and a ‘dog mode’.
According to teslafi, there are currently only 105 cars on this update, which translates to only one per cent of Tesla drivers worldwide. While some owners may receive the update within a few days of it being released, most owners will actually not receive the latest update for several weeks as Tesla rolls out its updates to its fleet based on the vehicle’s VIN, region, model, hardware, and other factors. The main reason Tesla rolls out updates in this manner is to minimize risk and to assess how an update is performing.
That being said, here are the features available on the new 2022.40.1 OS update.
The Media Player now displays radio station logos for improved discoverability when searching for favourite stations.
