Tesla Rolls Out New Features with v6.0 Model S Software Update
- Tesla began rolling out version 6.0 of the Model S software over the air around 19 September 2014[2][3]
- Elon Musk said the calendar and traffic predictor "will radically improve how the car adapts to the owner over time"[3]
Notable features
- Version 6.0 is an over-the-air software update for the Model S; Engadget notes most earlier changelog entries were minor bug fixes, while this release adds new features[2][3]
- Traffic-based navigation (beta) uses real-time traffic data shared by other Tesla cars; commute advice shows a pop-up on the 17-inch touchscreen when a faster route exists[2][3]
- Calendar sync (beta) shows the day's schedule in the car and lets you tap an event for directions[2][3]
- Remote start from the mobile app (a password is needed each time), location-based air suspension, naming the car and a night power-saving mode[2][3]
- Location-based air suspension remembers where the driver previously chose a high ride height and raises the car automatically there (air-suspension cars only); the car's name appears in the mobile app and the touchscreen's About Your Tesla section[2]
