Tesla unveils its 2026 summer software update, here are the goodies you can expect

22 July 2026

Tesla is preparing to roll out its summer 2026 software update. It should become available shortly. The company has published the full list of new features that will be part of the update.

Grok will be able to make phone calls, search for and play music, adjust climate settings, open the glovebox, and answer any questions you might have about the car. You'll see your self-driving stats in the Tesla mobile app, and the Caraoke function will score your singing while parked, with high scores being saved to your Tesla profile.

Automatic Navigation gets a big update, as it now adapts to your routine. It will suggest and route to places you frequently visit, in addition to your Home and Work locations and calendar events. Navigation will also prioritize routes that you've taken before.

You will be able to set your desired Arrival Energy from your phone using the Tesla mobile app, and the app will also let you upload custom wrap designs for your Tesla's 3D vehicle visualization. You'll be able to lock the rear screen so that kids can't control it - they will still be able to watch content, but it will be controlled by the front row.

The new update will let you find Superchargers by name when searching for a destination, add Apple Music songs to queue from search and artist pages, and set your preferred zoom level for the Self-Driving visualization. The built-in browser will support camera and microphone access, and there are new intro animations for the new Model 3 and Model Y.
