With this update, Tesla officially supports Actually Smart Summon in the Tesla app. When you use Actually Smart Summon, which is now available on vehicles without ultrasonic sensors for the first time, you'll now see a live video stream from several of the car's cameras. This lets you keep a better eye on the vehicle from afar.

Actually Smart Summon is only available currently in North America with an FSD subscription and requires vehicle software 2024.27.20.

Tesla has started to add the vehicle's VIN to the title of a Tesla notification. This happens if you have a vehicle on your account that doesn't have a name. Once your vehicle has a name, Tesla will use the vehicle's name instead of the VIN.

You can name your vehicle using the app, or in the vehicle. If you're not sure what to name it, have a look at our list of unique and popular Tesla names.

As Tesla continues to prepare the vision-only version of Summon, they continue to make Summon-related changes in the app.

As detected by Nathan Home, the vehicle's path in the app now displays some darker blue circles. These circles appear to be caused by layering various translucent paths on top of each other, causing darker circles where the paths meet.

You now have easy access to several of your vehicle's document directly from the Tesla app. Tap on the menu in the app, then go to My Products, choose your vehicle and then tap documents.

Tesla continues to add additional code to support the upcoming Actually Smart Summon feature that will provide vehicles without ultrasonic sensors (USS) access to Summon for the first time.

This update adds new localized phrases such as reversing for better visibility, according to Tesla_App_iOS, who reguarly decompiles the app.

Actually Smart Summon will replace the existing Smart Summon that is available on vehicles with USS and is expected to be available in a future FSD update before it becomes available in a regular production release.

Summon is a part of the Enhanced Autopilot and FSD packages.

The Tesla Referral Program, which recently launched in the United States, has now available in Canada.

Referrers in Canada will earn $650 CAD ($480 USD) per referral while providing a discount of $1,300 ($964 USD) to new Tesla owners.

Tesla Powerwall owners can now share access to their system to receive help remotely. By enabling the 'Remote Service Access' option you can grant access to support partners.

Certain regions are now gaining access to the Upgrades section of the Tesla app for the first time. The Upgrades section usually links to Sofware Upgrades, Accessories, Extended Service Agreements and Installable Upgrades such as HomeLink. In some of these new regions, it simply shows Accessories from Tesla's shop.

Sentry Mode Previews are now available on Android. The feature allows Tesla to send you a video of a Sentry Mode alert. The video will be viewable directly through an app notification.

It will also be available inside the app under Security & Drivers > Sentry Mode Recording Previews.

The video is limited to one minute and is not the full duration that's available in the vehicle. Sentry Mode alerts are also only sent in critical situations such as when the vehicle alarm is triggered.

Sentry Mode Previews was previously added for iPhone devices in update 4.32.

With this update, Tesla is introducing a new referral program in the U.S. The new referral program gives you $500 per referral and $1,000 off for the buyer. You can accumulate up to 10 referrals per calendar year and the credits can be used to redeem just about anything having to do with Tesla, including Supercharging, at Tesla store, or a toward new vehicle.

A promo for the referral program will also display on the app's main screen. You can dismiss the message by swiping to the left and pressing the 'X.'

If you have certain Supercharging benefits, free Supercharging, they'll now show up under the Charging section of the app. Tap the menu and go to Charging.

You'll also be able to swipe to the left to see your last charge session.

Tesla's Charge Stats are now available to more users. Previously, you needed to be the main Tesla account holder to view charging statistics, however, now secondary accounts are allowed to view them as well.

In addition, if your Tesla is part of a business fleet, or you lease your Tesla, you now also have access to Charge Stats.

After installing a software update, the Tesla app will now display a button at the top that lets you jump directly into the update's release notes.

The button displays "Release Notes" along with the software version and the release's hash. It also includes the UI version (v12), but does not appear to include the FSD version included in the update.

According to an app decompile by Tesla_App_iOS, Tesla continues to add more code for the new vision-based version of Smart Summon that's expected to be released in the next couple months.

In his decompile, he found references to new strings that could prevent Smart Summon from engaging such as "autopark_summon_error_low_tire_pressure" and "autopark_summon_standby_autosteer_not_enabled."

As Tesla continues to refine its new Summon implementation, we expect to see more references in the app in coming releases. Actually Smart Summon is expected to debut in an incremental FSD v12.5 update, and then eventually be included in all updates.

Minor fixes and improvements.
