Update 2025.8.4 - Release Notes

Your vehicle will now automatically transition to Standard Ride & Handling when Autopilot is engaged for a more comfortable drive. This setting is enabled by default. To disable, tap Controls > Dynamics > Use Standard Ride & Handling in Autopilot.

The steering wheel now gives you more realistic feedback, adapting to different road surfaces for a better driving experience.

You can now adjust Cybertruck air suspension ride height directly from your phone. To use this feature, ensure your phone key is paired and connected and that you have Tesla App version 4.42.5 or later. On your Tesla app, go to Controls > Ride Height.

- View your last 10, 100, or 200 miles (15, 150, or 300 kilometers) of energy usage in the Consumption page, with the option to clear your history. Go to App Launcher > Energy app > Consumption.

- The first-row cabin sensing system has been updated to use cabin radar, which is now standard in all new 2025 Model Ys. Your Model Y was built pre-equipped with the necessary hardware, allowing Tesla to also bring this technology to your vehicle. (Select Model Ys between 2022-2024)

- Your battery’s energy estimate now accounts for your vehicle’s usage characteristics and will adjust over time based on your history. The total available battery energy remains unchanged.

- You can now run a Battery Health Test to measure your battery’s energy retention compared to when it was new. Running this test may recalibrate the energy estimate, which could affect your displayed range. Go to Controls > Service > Battery Health.

- This update includes important security fixes and improvements.

The rainbow road feature has been greatly improved in this update. Rainbow road, which can be enabled in the Toybox app, changes the vehicle's path when on Autopilot from blue to a rainbow.

Since the rainbow path didn't have the full features of the blue path, Tesla had to previously overlay the blue path on top of the rainbow. However, with this update, the rainbow path now incorporates Autopilot features, such as arrows when suddenl slowing down.

On Intel vehicles, there were several modules that didn't include a transparency effect. This was mostly due to Intel cars not using the blur effect since it could slow down.

With this update, Tesla has enabled the transparency effect across a set of modules. Notably, this fixes the issue when using full screen visualizations where the music player had a transparency but the navigation module did not.

A transparency has also been added to other modules that are displayed on top of the map, such as the list of Superchargers, destations, search results and the ETA / End Trip module displayed at the bottom.

Note: Due to the lack of the blur effect, these changes could make some text more difficult to read on Intel vehicles.

When a card is overlay on top of another one, it's now transparent.

Note: Since Intel-powered infotainment units don't use the blur effect on these cards, it could make them them harder to read since the contents of the card underneath can be seen.

The updated Energy App now features the ability to choose the history based on the previous 10, 100 or 200 miles. The graph features smoother curves (tension) when viewing shorter distances and the total energy used at the bottom left also changes based on your chosen distance.

You can also reset the graph at any point by tapping on the information icon ( i ), and choosing reset.

The graphic that's displayed in the vehicle when it doesn't detect a phone key has been updated. Taping on the blue text at the bottom displays the old animation of where you to tap a key card.

The Bluetooth app normally only displays the connected devices and a button to connect a new device. With this update, Tesla is making it easier to jump to another sources by displaying other available music services beneath your connected device.

Tapping a music service will jump to the selected service.

The Trips display has been improved to show more precise information as well as a new metric.

More Precision: The Current Drive and Since Last Charge trip meters now display decimal points, which is often useful for these metrics since they're usually smaller values.

The Current Drive meter is automatically reset when your vehicle comes out of park so that it can track your current drive, while the Since Last Charge meter automatically resets after a charging session completes.

More Data: In addition to added precision, the Current Drive now features a new data point. kWh is now shown for the current drive, just like the other trip meters. Previously, the Current Drive showed minutes instead of kWh -- it now features both.

These changes affect the Trips widget in the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck. While the added precision is also added to all vehicles under Controls > Trips, the new kWh metric for the Current Drive is not displayed on this screen.

The traffic visualization has been improved with this update in some regions. The visualization has been improved slightly with thicker lines and rounded corners. In addition, a new "yellow level" of traffic is now displayed in addition to orange and red.

Tesla recently made the traffic visualization free for everyone and it no longer requires subscribing to Tesla's Premium Connectivity.

To see the traffic visualization, simply tap on the map and choose the traffic light button on the far side of the screen.
