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.

Tesla is now showing users information about nearby Superchargers. When you’re near a Supercharger, Tesla will now highlight it at the top of the Tesla app, letting you report issues or view site information.

This could be useful when a driver is trying to locate a Supercharger or simply needs to report an issue.

It appears that Tesla’s Robotaxi network will utilize the existing Tesla app rather than relying on a dedicated Robotaxi-specific app. New code found in this update suggests that owners will be able to switch between ‘Fleet Mode’ and ‘Owner Mode,’ allowing them to choose whether their vehicle joins the autonomous taxi network or is reserved for personal use.

Tesla’s upcoming child detection feature will let the vehicle automatically turn on its climate system if it detects that a child has been left alone in the vehicle. Tesla is also introducing other safeguards, such as sending notifications to the owner and calling emergency services if needed.

Tesla is now beginning to integrate this into the Tesla app, according to a tear-down of this update by Tesla_App_iOS. If a child is left in the vehicle, the owner won’t be allowed to turn off or change climate settings.

Tesla is also preventing other things, such as installing software updates, while a child is detected alone in the vehicle.

The Dashcam Viewer is now available in the Tesla app for Android users.

The Dashcam Viewer makes it easy to access and manage your car’s Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos. Accessing videos on your phone is faster and more convenient, but it does come with a few requirements.

The Dashcam Viewer in the Tesla app allows you to view, delete, or save video clips right from your device. This should result in higher quality content being shared online and fewer videos of owners recording their Tesla’s screens with their phones.

Tesla may soon offer an “Early Access Program” that allows customers to sign up and receive early access versions of FSD. In exchange, users would need to share data with Tesla, such as usage logs and vehicle data.

According to the document that was found in this version of the app by Tesla_App_iOS, the data Tesla collects about your vehicle while a part of the Early Access Program is different than the regular data Tesla collects. Presumably, this data will be a lot more detailed and would include everything mentioned in Tesla’s Shared Data analytics that are available under Controls > Software > Shared Data.

We expect Tesla to let you sign up for the early access program directly in the app in the future.

This update includes several improvements to Tesla’s Service experience. When images are required, the text will now appear in red, Service History will now show badges on the filter icon when filters are active, and you can now tap on service details when a service is in progress.

If you’ve granted access to third-party apps, the Tesla app now provides a detailed activity report for each one. Previously, the app only displayed which third-party apps had access to your data and what data they could access.

With this update, the app now shows the total amount of data requested by third parties and provides a breakdown per app. It also displays the amount of data requested and the last access date per app, giving you more visibility into your data.

You can view your third-party activity by tapping the menu button on the top right, tapping on your profile photo and then choose Security & Privacy and then Third Party Apps.

Tesla has added a new Battery Health section under the Service menu. Tapping on it will show the state of your battery.

This appears to be a much simpler test than the thorough battery test that Tesla added in vehicle update 2025.8. If you suspect potential battery issues or serious degradation and have received update 2025.8, you can run Tesla’s battery test under Controls > Service > Battery Health.

Note: This option requires software update 2025.8 or higher.

You can now adjust the Cybertruck suspension from within the app.

Navigate to the Controls section of the app, and you can now adjust your Cybertruck's height and choose from Entry, Low, Medium or High levels.

This feature requires for your vehicle to be on software update 2025.8 or higher.
