3 articles · Updated · Not a Tesla App · Jul 21

Summary

  • Tesla said its Summer Update will roll out shortly, adding Grok voice controls for phone calls, music, climate and glovebox access, while expanding Grok availability across all of Europe.
  • The 2026.26 release also makes navigation more personalized: vehicles can remember preferred routes, broaden automatic navigation beyond home, work and calendar events, and let drivers set arrival energy from the mobile app.
  • Tesla is shifting more customization to the app, including direct uploads of custom vehicle wraps, while adding self-driving streaks and total FSD miles to the app and custom zoom for FSD visualizations.
  • Cabin features include rear-display lock, seat controls in the dock for more vehicles, Caraoke scoring when parked, browser access to the cabin camera and microphone, and Apple Music queue improvements.
  • The update has not started shipping yet, and Tesla said the rollout will be gradual, with vehicles on the latest FSD software likely waiting longer for the features to reach that branch.
