Tesla update points to the automaker’s upcoming diner in Los Angeles being integrated into its app, insurance discount for using (Supervised) Full Self-Driving, and more.
The latest update to Tesla’s mobile app has given us some insights into upcoming features.
First off, Tesla is getting closer to finishing its LA diner/Supercharger station, and according to a new in-app render found by Tesla App Updates, Tesla is going to integrate it into its app:
Obviously, Supercharger stations are already integrated in Tesla’s app, but there could be more with the diner, like in-app food ordering.
They also found an interesting new line in the Tesla app:
“safety_score_miles_and_miles_percent/safety_rating_discount_screen/safety_score_fsd_discount_experience_fsd”
It points to Tesla giving discounts to its insurance customers if they use Full Self-Driving (FSD) more when driving their vehicles.
Another alert message added to the vehicle points to something interesting:
Your vehicle must be connected to the internet to calculate the expected range based on age and mileage.
This would mean you could know if your range estimation is based purely on vehicle data or if it uses outside data, like weather around your route.
The Tesla app update also gives us a few hints about what’s coming with the RWD Cybertruck. The cheaper version of the Cybertruck won’t only have one motor instead of two and a smaller battery, but according to some updates in the app, it will also have a manual tonneau cover and optional outlets in the truck’s bed.
The cheaper Cybertruck is expected to launch later this year.
Finally, the app update also shows that Tesla will now tell you how much time it will take to heat the vehicle battery before charging starts.
