When a new software update is available for your Tesla Model S, you will see a notification on the car’s touchscreen 📱. This notification tells you that there is an update ready to be installed, but it doesn’t give you details about what the update does until after it’s installed 🤔.
The update process involves two main steps: downloading the update and installing it 💻. You can download the update while driving, but you cannot drive during the installation phase, which usually takes about 25 to 45 minutes 🚗.
To start the update, your car must be in park mode and connected to Wi-Fi 📡. You can choose to install the update immediately or schedule it for a later time, such as overnight, using the Tesla app or the car’s touchscreen 🕰️.
During the installation, the car might make some unusual noises or display strange messages, but this is normal 📣. Once the update is complete, your car will have new features or improvements, and it will be ready to drive again 🚗.
It’s important to keep your Tesla connected to Wi-Fi whenever possible to ensure you get updates quickly and stay up-to-date with the latest features 📈.
