Software Updates

Loading New Software
Tesla updates your vehicle's software wirelessly,
constantly providing new features. Tesla recommends
you install software updates at the earliest opportunity
on your vehicle. To ensure the fastest and most reliable
delivery of software updates, leave Wi-Fi turned on and
connected whenever possible. In most cases, your
vehicle must be connected to Wi-Fi to download the
software update (see Wi-Fi on page
Downloading vs. Installing New
Software
There are two steps to receiving a new update:
downloading the software (which requires Wi-Fi), and
installing it. For your convenience, you can start
downloads and installations using the Tesla mobile app.
Download
When a software update is available for download, the
download occurs automatically, showing a green arrow
at the top of the touchscreen. If the vehicle is not
connected to Wi-Fi, a yellow download icon appears.
Although you can drive while the software update is
being downloaded, doing so can interrupt the download
if your vehicle loses the Wi-Fi connection. When the
software update is fully downloaded and ready to install,
a clock icon displays at the top of the touchscreen.
NOTE: To ensure the fastest and most reliable download
of software updates, leave the Wi-Fi turned on and
connected whenever possible (see

time. At any time before the update installs, you can

Software Update Preferences
Tesla determines how, when, and where to send updates
to vehicles based on various factors unique to each
release. In Controls > Software, you can choose how
quickly you want to receive updates that are ready for
your vehicle. Be an early adopter by selecting Advanced
(which will have additional releases), or wait until others
have installed (which will result in fewer releases) by
selecting Standard. Choosing Advanced does not enroll
your vehicle in Tesla's early access program.
Tesla does not update your software upon request for
those wanting to receive the latest features and
improvements. Selecting Advanced and consistently

software update was not successfully completed, wait
for the next software update to deploy to your vehicle.

install the update. Install a software update as soon as
possible. Any harm resulting from failure to install a
software update is not covered by the vehicle's warranty.
Failure or refusal to install updates can cause some
vehicle features to become inaccessible or digital media
devices may become incompatible.
NOTE: Tesla may update or reinstall your vehicle's
software as part of the normal diagnostic, repair, and
maintenance process within Tesla Service.
NOTE: Reverting to a previous software version is not
possible.
