Your Tesla Just Got a Lot More Festive
Tesla’s 2025 Holiday Update has landed — and it’s packed with both joy and genius. From a selfie-ready photobooth to serious nav upgrades, this release is more than just tinsel and tunes.
Grok Gets Street Smart
Grok is no longer just chatty — it’s now your co-pilot.
With the new Navigation Commands (Beta), you can ask Grok to add or edit destinations, making it your personal AI guide. Just make sure Grok is set to Assistant mode.
Your Car Is Now a Photobooth
Open Toybox > Photobooth and snap selfies from your Tesla.
Add filters, stickers, or emojis, and share straight from the Tesla app. It’s like Snapchat, but with seat warmers.
Dog Mode, Now Smarter
Have a furry passenger? You’ll now see a Live Activity on your iPhone when Dog Mode is active.
It shows cabin snapshots, temperature, battery, and climate updates — peace of mind in your pocket.
Dashcam & Driving Insights
Tesla’s Dashcam Viewer now gives deeper context: speed, steering angle, and whether Autopilot was on. Great for reviewing footage or just showing off.
Santa Mode & Jingle Rush
Santa Mode brings snowmen, trees, and festive sound effects to your display.
And the new Jingle Rush Light Show can now sync between cars, schedule in advance, and light up your cabin. Cue the holiday dance-off.
Custom Wraps & Plates
Get creative with your car’s avatar. Add wraps, tints, or license plates using preloaded designs or your own via USB.
Find it under Toybox > Paint Shop.
Smarter Navigation & Superchargers
Reorder favorites, drop pins for home or work, and see 3D Supercharger layouts before arrival.
Plus, if you’re carpooling, Tesla can now route you through HOV lanes automatically.
New Safety & Charging Features
- Phone Left Behind Chime alerts you if your device stays in the cabin
- Save Charge Limits by Location — your car remembers it for next time
- Enable or disable wireless chargers
- Spotify search and queue now smoother
- And yes, Rave Cave now pulses rainbow colors to your beats 🎶
Bonus: Dock the ISS
Feel like a NASA pilot with the SpaceX ISS Docking Simulator in the Arcade.
It’s nerdy. It’s awesome. It’s very Tesla.
