As part of its usual cycle of updating maps, Tesla is rolling out a new map update for its vehicles this week. The previous map update version for North America was NA-2024.8-14924.
Tesla formats its map version as region-year.week. For example, NA-2024.8 represents the North American map update created in the 8th week of 2024.
Map updates are fairly large, and you’ll need to be connected to Wi-Fi to receive them—they’ll be about seven to eight gigabytes, depending on your region.
North American Maps
Vehicles in North America are now receiving NA-2024.20-15136.
This update is about 6.9GB and is slightly larger than the previous update. Tesla software hacker @greentheonly on X noted that while there’s more data, no feature flags have changed. This means that Tesla’s upcoming lane-based navigation changes likely aren’t integrated in this update.
European Maps
The map update isn’t limited to just North America. The EU has also received an update to its map data, with version EU-2024.32-15126.
This update is about 8GB, owing to the nature of the larger number of countries that the European maps have to cover. Thanks to @CarlosCuezva on X for spotting this update. Once again, no feature flag changes over the previous update.
What Does It Do?
While this map update doesn’t appear to enable any new features in and of itself, it helps your vehicle navigate more efficiently by being aware of newer routes. FSD also relies on some map data, so updated maps could also help FSD use drive safer. Overall, while it may seem an inconsequential update, every map update provides a new baseline that helps to improve both the trip planner and FSD.
When Does it Release?
Tesla began rolling this update out last week and is now rolling it out to a wider user base. Like Tesla’s software updates, there’s no way to force a map update. When eligible and connected to WiFi, the vehicle will automatically check for a map update, and unlike software updates, vehicles will download and install map updates silently in the background.
To check your version of Tesla maps, go to Controls > Software and look for the version listed under Navigation Data. If a map update is available, you’ll see which version is available and a progress bar that indicates the progress of the download.

A member of Tesla’s AI development team, Kalena Brown, took to X to mention that an update is on its way for AI 4 vehicles on older FSD V13.2 builds.
It seems that Tesla has caught an issue that has been preventing vehicles from safely updating from FSD V13.2.2 to newer builds such as FSD V13.2.4 or V13.2.6.
The Bug
Tesla usually catches these issues early in testing, but sometimes, they make their way out into the wild, necessitating a stop to a rollout. In this case, the rollout was likely halted to prevent this issue from spreading to other vehicles.
There have been a lot of comments on social media that users haven’t seen an update since late December or early January. While that’s not completely abnormal, this update, version 2024.45.25.5 includes an issue that prevents it from being updated.
Please be patient! Found an issue specific to that update path, but fix is coming soon
Many folks on older builds also waiting and we're working hard to get everyone covered 🙂
Brown says that Tesla is aware of the issue and is working hard to get a build with the fix released soon. It may be a couple of weeks before it’s ready, but you can expect Tesla to roll this one out slowly to make sure the issue is addressed.
The issue appears to be specific to FSD V13.2.2, so anyone on another update should not be affected. Keep an eye out on our feeds - and we’ll let you know once the update is released.
Tesla introduced the Refreshed Model Y in North America with just four colors - Stealth Grey, Pearl White Multi-Coat, Ultra Red, and Quicksilver. While those are likely some of the most popular colors - many have been asking - what about new color options?
Actually - what even happened to Deep Blue Metallic - one of the most popular Tesla color choices? Well, thanks to an interview between Tesla Owners Club Silicone Valley and some of Tesla’s vehicle engineers, we now have more details.
New Paint Options
More paint options are around the corner for the new Model Y, but they won’t be available just yet. In fact, they’ll likely be available once the Launch-Series wraps up - as those vehicles are shipping in May.
One of Tesla’s latest colors, Glacier Blue, debuted in the Asia-Pacific market, but for now, North America remains limited to a select set of options. Deep Blue Metallic continues to be one of Tesla’s most popular choices, and black is also a favorite, though it is currently unavailable for new Model Y orders.
In a recent interview, Tesla’s engineering team confirmed that new colors are already being developed. However, the key factor delaying their availability is production ramp-up. Just as scaling vehicle production takes time, expanding paint production capacity is a gradual process. Tesla is prioritizing a smooth production ramp before adding more color options to the lineup.
New Color Hints
The engineering team also mentioned that if you “put two and two together” while browsing the website, it will be pretty evident which colors are coming. This suggests that the new colors will not be completely new but will be colors that are available on other models or in other regions. The primary candidates are Glacier Blue, which is available in Asia, and Deep Blue Metallic and Black, which are available for the now, last-gen Model Y.
It seems like once production ramps up, Tesla will be ready to introduce some new paint options. Maybe they’ll introduce them alongside the expected refreshed Model Y Performance? If you’re in the market for a paint option that isn’t available in North America just yet - it could be best just to wait a few months.
