Update 2025.20.3 - Release Notes

Your vehicle’s backup camera feed in the Camera app now includes a button to toggle between the original narrow view and the new wider view. Additionally, side camera feeds have been enlarged to provide a wider field of view.

If an unattended child is detected, the vehicle will flash the exterior indicator lights, play an alert tone, and send a notification to your Tesla app. This will repeat at regular intervals until you return to your vehicle. Cabin data is processed locally and is not transmitted to Tesla.

This feature is enabled by default. To disable, go to Controls > Safety > Child Left Alone Detection.

Charging can now be stopped and the charge cable released by pulling and holding the rear left door handle for 3 seconds, provided the vehicle is unlocked or a recognized key is nearby. This is especially useful when the charge cable doesn’t have an unlatch button. You can still release the cable using the vehicle touchscreen or the Tesla app.

View your Supercharging session with Live Activity on your iPhone or paired Apple Watch. Live Activity will start automatically as soon as your charging session begins. Requires Tesla app version 4.45.0+ and iOS 17.2+.

This update includes important security fixes and improvements.

If you use the PIN to Drive feature, the PIN is now required even if the vehicle access to drive was given through the remote start feature of the Tesla app.

Similar to the frunk warning added in a previous update, Tesla will now warn you when you have your trunk open and shift the vehicle into park.

Drivers will be able to acknowledge that the trunk is open and continue driving, or they can choose to automatically close the trunk.

Note: This feature is only available on powered trunks.

The Energy App can now display the average speed of the Tesla fleet for a given route under certain conditions. It’ll also display how much energy you can save by slowing down.

When using the voice command feature, Tesla will now display an orange dot near the speedometer, letting users know that the vehicle is actively using the microphone.

Tesla previously displayed the orange dot whenever the vehicle was using the microphone to gather audio data for FSD.

The updated Dashcam Viewer now includes a button to switch between the full, uncropped video or the regular view.

The difference between the two views is minor, but if you’re trying to identify something during a Sentry Mode event, it could be useful to have the full, uncropped video.

This is available on HW3 and HW4 vehicles, but since it relies on the new Dashcam Viewer, it requires the AMD Ryzen processor.

You can now use the blind spot camera while the Camera app is open. Previously, you could not have the Camera app and the blind spot camera view open at the same time.

In Tesla’s recently updated Dashcam Viewer, you can now delete multiple Dashcam or Sentry Mode videos at once. Simply tap the three dots […] in the top right corner and select the clips you’d like to delete.

This feature is limited to the new Dashcam Viewer that was added in update 2025.14 for Ryzen-based vehicles. The new Dashcam viewer features multiple cameras along the bottom and includes a mosaic view that allows you to view several cameras simultaneously.

Tesla has now added the vehicle’s use of the microphone during voice commands to the privacy section under Controls > Software > Camera and Mic.

Note: Tesla does not transcribe audio in the vehicle and instead sends the audio clip to its servers to be transcribed.

Tesla has added a Service Mode improvement in this update.
