The drawer in the climate section of the app is now slightly higher, partially revealing the 'Defrost Car' button. This should increase the discoverability of the additional functions hidden in the drawer.

The drawer contains buttons to defrost your vehicle and to turn on 'Cabin Overheat Protection'. It also includes the ability to turn on 'Bioweapon Defense Mode' if your vehicle is equipped with the feature.

Recent findings in software update 2022.8.2 reveal that Tesla will also add support for turning on Dog Mode, Camp Mode and Climate Keeper directly in the app. These new features will also be added to the climate drawer.

When going into the climate section of the app, you can now see whether automatic heated/cooled seats are enabled. You can also turn off the automatic seat temperature and adjust the seat manually.

When automatic seat heaters are enabled, you'll see the temperature that the seat is set to and 'Auto' will be displayed underneath.

This is an undocumented change in this release.

You can now cool your seats directly from the app. If you have your seat temperature set to auto it'll automatically switch between cooled and heated seats for you.

If you prefer to not use automatic seat heaters, you can pick from heated or cooled seats by tapping on the seat.

Tesla continues to incorporate additional features into its app. Soon we will have the ability to not only turn on Climate Keeper, but Dog Mode and Camp Mode directly from the app as well.

Camp Mode is also a great way to keep your car's music playing after all the doors have been shut.

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.
