If you’re really interested in all that’s planned for Tesla’s 2024 holiday update (aka update 2024.44.25.2), I recommend you head over to ‘not a tesla app‘ right now. They provide excellent coverage of such things, and would be my primary source for this information anyway. But I want to highlight a few items in this update that I find especially useful.
- Apple Watch – Yes, I want to use my Apple Watch as a phone key, in addition to my key card, CNICK ring, and smartphone. And why not?
- Weather Overlay – with winter weather on the horizon, this information will be incredibly useful.
- Cross Traffic Alert – I’m just so tired of bumping into pedestrians when I back out of a parking space. Hopefully this will help prevent all those annoying dents and dings to the back of my car when I miss seeing the random baby carriage passing behind me in the parking lot.
- SiriusXM ‘Internet Streaming’ – But ya know, I’m pretty happy with Spotify right now, so I might just pass on this new app. But for those who can’t live without SiriusXM, there will be a 3-month trial, then some pretty great early signup deals ($9.99/mth for 2 years). This will be a hard one to say no to.
And there’s SO much more.
