Introduction to new features in the Tesla App
Before using the new app features, make sure you have upgraded your vehicle to 2022.8.2 or later, otherwise some content will not be displayed.
Automatic seat heating
Now you can set up the seat auto-heating function on your phone. When the cabin is cold, the seat heater is automatically set to maximum. As the cabin warms, the seat heater gear is gradually lowered until the cabin reaches the desired temperature, at which point the seat heater is completely turned off.
Camping mode and pet mode (future feature)
Now you can set camping mode and pet mode on your phone to easily cope with hot or cold climates. For example, if a driver leaves temporarily and needs to leave pets, children, food, etc. in the car on a hot summer day, the above settings can be used to keep the car cool and comfortable.
If the battery drops below 20%, tesla apps will try to send you repeated notifications reminding you that the vehicle is getting lower and lower and that you should return to the vehicle in time.
