New Features in the Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S has received a significant software update that includes new features for navigation, audio, telephone, and more. While the upgraded Model S looks similar to its predecessor, it now has automatic door handles that pop out when you approach the car.
Voice Commands
One of the features we like a lot is the voice command feature. You can hold down the button to enter a voice command and then let go when you’re done talking. For example, you can say “Play DJ Shadow Radio” and it will start streaming directly through Slacker, assuming you have a Slacker account. You can also use voice commands to search for points of interest or addresses.
Projected Range Graph
The new projected range graph is another feature we find useful. It toggles between average and instant range, giving you a better idea of how far you can go on your current charge.
Control Knob on the Steering Wheel
The control knob on the right-hand side of the steering wheel can be configured for different functions, including controlling the sunroof with a single press. You can also customize it for climate control, event speed, and other functions.
Accessing Release Notes
Finally, you can access the release notes directly from the home screen. This allows you to stay up to date with the latest features and improvements to the Tesla Model S.
Conclusion
The Tesla Model S has received a major software update that includes several new features. The voice command feature, projected range graph, and control knob on the steering wheel are just a few of the features we find useful. With these updates, the Tesla Model S remains one of the most advanced and innovative vehicles on the market.
