A deep dive into the Tesla mobile app's code has revealed upcoming features, including a loyalty rewards program and a dashboard for Full Self-Driving statistics. These additions aim to create a more interactive experience for vehicle owners. The discoveries come from app version 4.54.0, as shared by app researcher @Tesla_App_iOS.
Developers examining the code of Tesla's mobile app version 4.54.0 have identified significant enhancements set to transform owner interactions with their vehicles. Uncovered by @Tesla_App_iOS, these features point to a gamified approach, emphasizing engagement through rewards and data tracking.
The loyalty program emerges as a key update, structured as an opt-in system where owners can enroll to monitor their progress. It includes milestones and status tiers, with points potentially earned based on activities such as frequent Supercharging or accumulating total miles driven. Accompanying this is an in-app rewards shop, allowing users to access a digital storefront for selecting items like software upgrades or accessories. To enhance user involvement, the app will incorporate custom graphics and animations to visualize loyalty status and achievements.
Parallel to the rewards system, a new "FSD Stats" screen will provide transparency on Full Self-Driving performance. This dashboard offers a breakdown comparing the vehicle's AI capabilities to manual driving, tracking total miles against autonomous miles to calculate a Self-Driving Percentage. Statistics will be monitored across various software versions, enabling owners to observe improvements with each update. Additionally, a built-in Share button will produce model-specific graphics for social media, highlighting FSD usage and safety metrics to foster community sharing.
These developments, detailed in the app code, suggest Tesla's push toward making advanced features more accessible and shareable for its user base.
