Tesla released app version 4.50.0 on October 18, 2025, introducing several new features designed to refine the user experience. The update was labeled as a “New Features” release by Tesla’s official categorization. Just six days later, Tesla released version 4.50.1 to address bugs found in the initial version.
One of the most practical additions is the Tire Center feature. Located in the Service menu, this tool lets owners select their tire size and view compatible purchase options. Users can buy tires and schedule installation directly through Tesla’s service system. The feature launched first in limited regions, with the United States among the early markets receiving access. This integration helps streamline tire wear management, which requires regular attention due to regenerative braking systems.
The app now includes a screen-sharing capability for customer support. When owners contact Tesla support, they’ll see a prompt asking whether they want to share their app screen with a representative. The representative can only view what’s shown on the shared screen. The feature also includes session management tools like a “Resume Screen Share” option. Although the code was revealed in the update, the feature wasn’t immediately activated at release. This screen-sharing capability represents Tesla’s commitment to enhancing the customer support experience through direct technical assistance.
Tesla’s new screen-sharing capability allows support representatives to view only what owners choose to display during app support sessions.
Tesla added a calibration system for Powerwall energy storage devices. This calibration improves how accurately the system measures charge levels and helps streamline battery performance. The process can take up to 72 hours to complete. Most users can delay calibration if they’re planning important events, though certain situations require mandatory calibration with an “unable to delay” notification.
The Message Center, Tesla’s hub for promotions and service alerts, is getting a major overhaul. The update includes planned additions like search functionality for old messages and placement of Tesla’s AI Assistant at the top of the interface. These features were uncovered in the app code but weren’t fully operational at launch.
Tesla also updated visuals for new Model Y Standard and Model 3 Standard configurations. The Model Y Standard, codenamed E41 Bayberry, no longer includes a rear display and features a redesigned front bumper. New wheel designs and roof configurations were also added.
Performance improvements focused on reliability. The update improved stability for remote start operations and vehicle access. Data refresh rates were increased to reduce interface lag. These changes help the app function better with newer vehicle hardware.
