For Tesla owners who don't have Tesla Solar or a Powerwall, Tesla has added a demo of Tesla Home to the app that lets users experience what it's like having these features.

You can view a demo home with solar and a Powerwall and view all the information associated with these products. Although the data is static and doesn't change, the experience is interactive and lets you experience the app as if you had these products installed. You can view graphs that display your energy impact, view your solar generation, Powerwall usage and even mimic going off-grid.

To view the Powerwall demo, tap on your profile icon then tap the Order Now image, scroll down to the bottom and then swipe to the last card, which should be titled Demo Powerwall.

Although the feature is relatively hidden, it's a great feature that gives users a great idea of what it's like to own a Powerwall and the detailed information it brings to the Tesla app.

Tesla has added a new Energy section for the Wall Connector. With the Wall Connector v3 or the Universal Wall Connector, Tesla will now show detailed charging graphs similar to the graphs used for solar and Powerwall.

You can view daily, monthly, or yearly graphs and even download the graph data as a CSV file. Detailed charging data is only available after January 16, 2024.

The day-by-day tabular data continues to be available in the Charge History section.

The Tesla app will now show you a detailed view of your last Supercharger session. Under Profile > Account > Charging, Tesla will now display your last session at the top, with details such as energy, time, and cost metrics.

If you tap View Details, Tesla will display additional details such as the location name, date and time of the charging session, as well as the address and map of the Supercharger location.

The service section now links to the help topics that have been available under Profile > Help.

The recently added 'Ask a Question' service has been removed with this update and users will need to choose a topic to enter a service request.

New iPhone and iPad widgets are now available for the Powerwall and Tesla Solar. There are two new widgets available for Tesla energy customers. The vehicle widgets remain the same as the previous release.

The small energy widget displays the amount of solar energy generated and the Powerwall's state of charge, while the large widget adds a model of the home and also displays the amount of electricity used for the day.

Scripting in the Apple Shortcuts app on iOS now features the ability to enable or disable Tesla's phone key. This allows you to create automations that allow you to alter the useability to use the phone key based on location or other variables.

Recently, Tesla also updated the Shortcuts app to include Cybertruck-specific functions such as the ability to turn on/off the bed lights, power outlets and open and close the tonneau cover.

Tesla says that they have improved system status messages for Powerwall in this update.

Tesla has redesigned the Security & Drivers section. Instead of a large image at the top, there is now a list of each feature.

Tesla has also added the ability to reset your phone key or add a new key card using the app.

With this update Tesla hints at an upcoming release of commemorative cards. These could be collectible cards or achievements for performing certain actions or reaching specific vehicle milestones, such as driving 50,000 miles or using pre-conditioning for the first time.

The outline of the cards was discovered in the app's source code by Tesla_App_iOS. They reveal that there will be rare variants (gold) and regular versions of each card, although it doesn't offer any hints at what will be featured on each card. It could feature specific Tesla products or special achievement logos similar to Apple's fitness badges on Apple Watch.

However, the images are only in Chinese, so it's not clear whether this feature would be exclusive to China.

Some users have recently been prompted to allow the Tesla app to access their motion and fitness activity. According to Tesla's app product manager, this allows the app to more readily know when the phone is moved, instead of relying solely on location.

If your living space is near where your vehicle is parked, this can reduce unexpected unlocking of the vehicle due to proximity.

If you have multiple Wall Connectors, you'll now see multiple garages, one for each Wall Connector in the Home section of the app.

There is a new Superchargers icon in the Location section of that app that lets you easily hide or show nearby Superchargers.

When you tap show Superchargers, the app will automatically zoom out to give you a broader view of all nearby chargers.

The Service section of the app now has an 'Ask a Question' option, letting users simply send a message to Tesla service with a question regarding one of their products.

The app includes several other smaller changes:

- The vehicle's software version at the bottom of the app now includes the version hash as well.

- The font for the battery's percentage is now bold.

- Notification settings for Tesla energy products has a new icon.

While the app is trying to connect to your vehicle, you'll now sometimes see this an animation of a blank vehicle with a glowing effect.

When you view your vehicle surroundings from the Tesla app, now you'll have access to the left and right pillar cameras.

On your vehicle touchscreen, go to Controls > Safety > View Live Camera via Mobile App. Then you can view from the app on your phone.

Live Camera is end-to-end encrypted and can't be accessed by Tesla. Requires Tesla vehicle software update 2023.44.30+ and Premium Connectivity.

Under the Home section of the app (if you have a Wall Connector or Solar), you can now select your electric rate plan.

Plan a multi-stop trip and send it to your vehicle.

Available in select countries. Requires vehicle software 2023.44.30+.
