Elon Musk continues to bring new features to Tesla cars with the updates he releases. Tesla, one of the most preferred models among electric cars, will gain new capabilities next week. With the update named “The Holiday 2023 Update” and numbered 2023.44.25, Tesla cars will be equipped with different features.
Elon Musk announced these updates after responding to a post on X.
“Tesla Owner: Ouch! Another shitty holiday software update for Christmas! Who cares about Apple Podcasts?!”
Toyota Owner: My Toyota’s catalytic converter was stolen for Christmas.”
Thereupon, Elon Musk said, “We need to step up our game.” He replied and announced the updates.
A new one is added to Tesla’s horn sounds: Goat scream
Customizable horn sounds have almost become a signature of Tesla cars. Tesla, which has many different horn sound options, manages to attract attention in this regard.
Tesla shared the update details in the post it shared on its X account. One of the most striking features is the goat sound that it has newly added to the horn sounds. Every time you press the horn, a goat sound will be heard. Thus, a new horn sound will be added to the already customizable horn sounds.
An emergency call will be made automatically as soon as the airbags are deployed during an accident.
Tesla, which is highly appreciated for driving safety, will automatically call the emergency service in case the airbags are deployed during an accident. Although Tesla’s autopilot feature works accurately, this feature will save lives in case of possible accidents.
Passengers traveling in the backseat will be able to play games.
Among the advanced multimedia screen features for the passenger and driver traveling in the front seat is the option to play games. With the new update, passengers traveling in the backseat will now be able to play various games. Thus, long trips seem to be more fun. Tesla, which integrated the Sonic the Hedgehog game last year, will increase the game diversity with this update.
At the same time, wireless headphones can be connected to the multimedia screen via Bluetooth connection.
Apple Podcasts support is also among the notable features of this update.
Continuing to improve and develop media, Tesla introduces Apple Podcasts, one of Apple’s popular services, to Tesla users with the new update. Thus, many popular podcasts can be listened to on both multimedia screens.
More than one stop can be added to the journey.
A new pleasure is added to the pleasure of traveling with Tesla cars. More than one stop can now be added to routes that can be controlled from the multimedia screen.
The “Multi-Stop” feature can be controlled from the phone. The driver will determine from his phone at which points he wants to stop, and these points will automatically be reflected on Tesla’s multimedia screen.
Other details of the update are as follows:
- Blind Spot Indicators: The blind spot camera will warn the driver when it detects a vehicle in the blind spot when you turn on the turn signal.
- More Camera Access: Seven different angles will now be available when you want to view the vehicle in Tesla’s mobile application.
- More Accurate Parking Assistance: Thanks to this feature, surrounding objects can be viewed in three dimensions while the Tesla is parked.
- Light Show and Games: The light show called “The Arrival” and the games Castle Doombad, Beach Buggy and Polytopia & Vampire Survivors will be added to the game library.
Stating that the updates will be announced next week, Tesla stated that new features may vary depending on model and region.
