Tesla Holiday Update 2024 begins rolling out (via 2024.44.25.2 software update)!

[carsly]

just push the microphone button on wheel and say "ho ho ho" there is no button currently. I think it will appear in the toybox when the update is released

You can also press the mic button and 'turn santa mode on' or 'turn santa mode off'

"ho ho ho" didnt work but "turn santa mode on" did work.

You can also turn it off by saying “turn Christmas off.”

As I told someone in a previous thread, for most things, you can just say something logical and 8 times out of 10 it’s going to work. It’s very intuitive.

If you’re asking it to do something that it can’t, it will tell you that command is not available.

Except that "open glovebox" works, but "close glovebox" or "shut glovebox" is usually not available. That's goofy IMO, unless it's their idea of safety that it has to be closed via the screen, so that you'd probably also be looking at the glovebox when closing it.

Well, please remember that the Cybertruck is the only Tesla that’s even capable of closing the glove box and the software was not built for the Cybertruck alone (we’re frankly at all). I’ve been opening the glove box on my other Teslas since 2019 closing it has never before been an option.

I suspect that they’ll get around to programming that on the Cybertruck, but I’m sure it’s gonna be near the end of a pretty long list.

Doesn’t change what I said though. If it can’t do it, it’ll tell you.

Unless you say “drive to the Home Depot”… it routes to home. Or “search Flo Rida” it routes to Florida even though “search” nearly always finds songs.. unless it happens to match a popular location. It gets confused so easily I rarely use it for anything. I can’t wait for the grok update, which will hopefully make your statement more true.

I can certainly say "navigate to Walmart in Pasadena, Maryland" and it will understand that. Or "navigate to" (some full street address including city and state). For something like a restaurant not part of a chain with a probably unique name, that's good enough, and even variants may work ("navigate to The Grill at Quarterfield Station" definitely works, but "navigate to Quarterfield Grill" probably does too). But "navigate to (some Italian name's) Pizza" probably won't work, since there's probably more than one of those somewhere, maybe even in the same general area, even if they have nothing to do with each other.

It is at any rate generally smarter than Siri about understanding the combination of a store name and a locale, which is definitely hit-or-miss (better with a street name than a town name, even if there's only one in that town).

We just bought a 2025 MY. It has Autosteer, as well as TACC. We have not bought FSD. If new MY's have it, why would they not make it available for CT's?

If you live in a suburb the adding the

town name if only 1 in your town or​

street and maybe town name if > 1​

then

it routes to that 'one' instead of bringing up a list​

​

If it is having a hard time calling/texting someones name then use their full name can be helpful

"ho ho ho" didnt work but "turn santa mode on" did work.

This is hilarious, I laughed all the way to the workshop this morning. The reindeer on the left is Rudolph and the one on the right is Donner. I am loving this…Ho, Ho, Howdy!

1. Cybertruck Rear Camera Improvements - The rear camera feed is now larger & you can pinch to zoom in or out

FINALLY!!! On both of these! I'm really surprised the App lightshow wasn't already a thing, they've had them for years.

1. Navigation will dynamically route around road closures

Nice!

1. When navigating to a Supercharger, upon arrival you will be notified on the touchscreen of any stalls that are currently out of service

This has been needed as well.


Again I'm kindof surprised several of these things haven't already been a thing with the Tesla cars.

We use to click on it on the map icon for the supercharger that we were traveling to a couple times as it would then show an updated number of chargers available. For quite a while, it showed what stalls were out of service already. The newness seems to be the 'upon arrival' which is a nice automated feature and makes common sense.

So...basically very few Cybertrucks are getting the update since most are FS with FSD.

According to current information, it is unlikely that the Cybertruck will receive FSD v13 this year as it is currently on a separate FSD development branch and is not yet compatible with the features included in the latest FSD v13 update, which is primarily aimed at vehicles with the AI4 hardware; the Cybertruck has its own unique system.
