In its latest 2023.26 software update, Tesla has unveiled a smart and distinctive destination feature that's sure to make navigation a breeze for its users.
Known as Automatic Navigation, this innovative addition suggests destinations and provides essential details such as estimated time of arrival, remaining battery charge upon arrival, and even a photo of the location. It's like having a thoughtful co-pilot who knows exactly where you need to go.
Tesla's Automatic Navigation draws on various sources to make these suggestions. It can utilize destination information sent from the Tesla app, events from your calendar, or even your regular routines, such as commuting to work at specific times and returning home. By tapping into these sources, the feature anticipates your needs and offers relevant destinations.
Not a Tesla App first spotted this crafty feature, and it has since been recognized as a powerful tool to streamline your travels. Similar technology is already employed by Apple Maps, which suggests destinations like your local gym based on your regular visiting hours or recommends alternate routes to appointments based on your calendar events. Such suggestions can be invaluable in saving time and avoiding traffic disruptions due to construction or accidents.
For those who prefer more control over their navigation, fear not. Tesla allows users to enable or disable the Automatic Navigation feature easily. Simply navigate to Controls > Navigation > Enable Automatic Navigation to toggle the setting as per your preference.
Interestingly, the Automatic Navigation feature is just one of the surprises packed into the 2023.26 update. Tesla has introduced several other enhancements, although some of them are not explicitly mentioned in the release notes, often referred to as "undocumented changes."
Among the other exciting additions, Tesla has given the Spotify App a refresh and overhaul, promising a more enjoyable music streaming experience for users. Additionally, the update enables the use of Bluetooth gaming controllers to enhance the Tesla Arcade, providing new gaming possibilities during charging or downtime.
A particularly anticipated feature that's finally making its debut with this update is the "Charge on Sunshine" lease option. This allows Tesla Solar owners to charge their cars using excess energy generated by their solar panels and Powerwall, making it a greener and more sustainable way to power up your Tesla.
As the 2023.26 software update rolls out to Tesla customers, it's essential to note that the release may arrive at different times for different owners. If you haven't received the update yet, exercise patience, as it's likely to be on its way to your Tesla soon. Embrace the new Automatic Navigation and explore the array of exciting features that await in this latest update!
