Tesla has released app version 4.50.0, introducing a suite of new features including a Tire Center for real-time tire health monitoring, remote screen sharing for troubleshooting, Powerwall calibration, and enhanced message management, all aimed at improving vehicle maintenance and user support.

The update also supports new vehicle models, including Tesla's Standard Model 3 and Model Y, with dynamic vehicle modeling to ensure accurate visualizations based on specific configurations, and introduces Unreal Engine visualization for Autopilot.

Additional features include improved support for Tesla Energy with a Rate Tariff Service, tools for optimizing energy management, and updates to delivery hours and insurance quick quotes, enhancing overall user convenience.

Tesla is working on advanced remote diagnostics, with plans to enable real-time screen sharing that allows owners and support staff to troubleshoot issues remotely by sharing vehicle displays, a feature that aligns with recent firmware updates.

The app's maintenance section now pulls data directly from vehicles to provide real-time updates on overdue and recent maintenance tasks, improving maintenance tracking and management.

Tesla continues to develop its Virtual Queue system for Superchargers, adding wait time indicators and waitlist options to reduce physical queues and improve charging convenience.

Support for dynamic Bitrate support in Dashcam streaming is planned, allowing higher-quality video when the vehicle has a strong connection or WiFi, enhancing security footage quality.

The update enhances vehicle sharing capabilities, hinting at future features for broader access control beyond current secondary driver accounts.

Tesla's broader digital strategy aims to influence industry standards for safety, maintenance, and customer service, encouraging other automakers to adopt similar remote diagnostics and over-the-air update practices.

The Message Center is being upgraded to include message search and integration with Tesla's AI Assistant, improving communication and service updates.

The update emphasizes data privacy and cybersecurity, highlighting the importance of strong security measures and user consent for remote access features.

Public reactions to the update are largely positive, especially regarding remote diagnostics and tire health monitoring, though privacy and hardware compatibility remain concerns.
