When the frunk is open, tapping the frunk button again in the app will no longer close it in the vehicle's in-app animation.

The frunk will now remain open since the vehicle doesn't have a powered frunk. The close animation in the previous app build lead to speculation that Tesla would add a powered frunk to future vehicles.

When music is being played in the vehicle, music controls will also show up in the app. With this update Tesla has redesigned the music controls slightly so that they're larger and easier to tap. The same music controls remain, which are previous song, play/pause, next song and volume up and down.

The notifications area in settings has seen a redesign as well. Under notifications Tesla now lists 'Vehicle' instead of just notifications, leading to speculation that Tesla may add notifications for additional products such as Powerwall, Solar and/or its Wi-Fi enabled Wall Connector.

The toggle buttons in the notifications area have also been redesigned to use native OS buttons intead of the previous circular blue checkboxes.

Tesla has added deep links for xAI in this update. Deep links are similar to regular links like https://tesla.com, but instead of using the scheme https:// or http://, they use a custom scheme, such as tesla://.

These links are used to open apps on the device, instead of websites. For example, tesla://shop opens the Tesla Shop within the Tesla app. When a user taps a notification from the Tesla app, it opens one of these deep links to direct the user to a specific part of the app.

This update includes code that would allow Tesla to send a notification that takes the user to any x.ai page via the Tesla app. This will likely be used for Tesla to send a notification to the user to authenticate the Grok app through the screen above.

This update essentially adds support for the Tesla Grok app, allowing users to log in to Grok and receive notifications on their phone from xAI / Grok.

Tesla has added extra logging for notification deep links. Some of the new logging messages include:

Passing xAI uri to operating system:
Opening tire service screen
Opening roadside assistance
Agent Chat - open notification
Processing notification - view:
Dropping unsupported raw uri:
Opening vehicle phone key screen
Sentry Alarm Preview - open notification
UWB Ranging Permission - open notification

Primary Tesla account holders can now hide the vehicle’s location visibility for secondary account holders in the Tesla app. This setting can be adjusted per secondary driver under Security & Drivers > Manage Drivers.

Note: Enabling this setting will hide the Location section of the app for the secondary driver, which also means they won’t be able to use it for other features, such as viewing nearby Superchargers or previewing a route.

Rate-Based Charging appears to be a new feature that will enable the Wall Connector to automatically charge the vehicle via the Powerwall when electricity prices are low.

This enables the Powerwall to discharge and put its energy into the vehicle, and then charge back up at low electricity rates, saving owners money.

The string powerwall_x_wall_connector_rate_based_charging_min_hours_charging_set implies a new future setting where the “Desired Charging Duration“ can be set, allowing more control over how long the vehicle charges in this new mode.

It’s unclear if this is related to this new mode, but there’s also a new string called wallConnectorSupports4HourChargingFactory which requires a minimum firmware version of 25.26 for the Wall Connector, which hasn’t been released yet.

The iOS permission alert string “Robotaxi allows you to use Siri to interact with your ride“ was found in some of the modules that are likely shared between the Tesla app and the Robotaxi app.

This implies a potential future Robotaxi app update could add support for Siri commands to control the Robotaxi, for example, “Hey Siri, Open Trunk“ or ”Hey Siri, Pull Over”.

The iOS permission alert string “Robotaxi accesses your calendar to share it with your ride“ was found in this update, implying potential future support for ride suggestions from calendar events that have a location associated with them, or even automatic ride bookings.

This is similar to Tesla’s Automatic Navigation in the vehicle, which allows a vehicle to automatically start navigating to a destination that’s entered in a calendar event.

Here are some new strings that are likely related to Tesla Assist, implying possible support for voice recognition and multiple language models in the Tesla app.
