This is an undocumented change in this release.

Tesla has started to offer the ability to manage your vehicle's lease directly in the app.

It looks like Tesla may be testing this in limited countries at the moment.

New API endpoints and localization strings were added in 4.6.1 to support leasing options such as extending terms, paying the outstanding balance, viewing documents and more.

Extending lease terms appears to be offered in some circumstances and will be limited to a six-month extension.

There are a few features that have been spotting Tesla app updates lately that should be released soon.

One of the most recent changes to the Tesla API includes tire pressure data. We believe this will mean that Tesla will allow you to view your tire pressure in the Services section of the app in the future.

Other changes include the ability to set your vehicle name in the app. This will be done by tapping on the vehicle name in the app.

And lastly, it appears that Tesla will soon let you set Climate Keeper from the app as evidenced by recent API changes found in app update 4.5.

Cybertruck custom wraps support.

Editorial note:

You'll soon be able to customize your Cybertruck in the app and in the vehicle with a custom wrap. You'll be able to create your own wrap using a template, or upload a design you found online.

Each design is a single image file and it sounds like you'll be able to upload it directly through the Tesla app.

While this is only for the Cybertruck right now, Tesla has already announced that custom wraps and personalized license plates features are coming to other Tesla models as well.

Tesla has added an additional screen that provides more information on how to set up your Apple Watch as a vehicle key.

The process is extremely easy and just requires you to be near the vehicle and tap the Set Up Watch Key.

The "State of Charge" complication for Apple Watch has been renamed "Vehicle Battery," to make it clearer that it's the vehicle's battery and not a Powerwall.
