April 29, 2025
One of the standout features is child detection, which activates the vehicle's climate control system if a child is left alone inside, sending notifications and emergency assistance to the owner.
For increased transparency, the app now provides detailed reports on third-party app activity, including total data requested and last access dates.
Tesla has rolled out version 4.44.1 of its app on March 19, 2025, which introduces a variety of new features and enhancements.
Additionally, a new Battery Health section has been integrated into the service menu, offering users insights into their battery's condition, alongside a comprehensive battery test introduced in update 2025.8.
The update also includes code that indicates support for Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi network, allowing users to switch between 'Fleet Mode' and 'Owner Mode'.
Improvements to the service experience have been made, featuring enhanced image request notifications and better tracking of service history with active filter badges.
Android users can now access the Dashcam Viewer through the app, simplifying the management of Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos.
While charging, users can view real-time Supercharging costs, power in kW, and total energy added during their session.
The app also highlights nearby Superchargers, enabling users to report issues or view site details with ease.
Looking ahead, Tesla plans to launch an 'Early Access Program' that will allow customers to test early versions of Full Self-Driving (FSD) and provide detailed feedback.
