Driving Visualization Improvements
The driving visualization can now display additional objects which include stop lights, stop signs and select road markings. The stop sign and stop light visualizations are not a substitute for an attentive driver and will not stop the car. To see these additional objects in your driving visualization, tap Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview.

Further improvements to the visualization of Tesla’s Autopilot are coming. We have already seen updates that have added visualizations for things such as traffic lights and traffic cones, it looks like speed limit sign recognition is next on the list of visualizations.
Backup Camera Improvements
New OTA update in 🇨🇳 utilizes the two-side backward-facing cameras for parking guidance. A very practical feature👍 pic.twitter.com/iAUKFarZqi

You can now view video streams coming from your side repeater cameras for added visibility around the vehicle.
When the backup camera is visible, simply swipe to display the repeater camera video feeds.

A very practical feature that I am sure many people are surprised at how long it took to be added. The new feature allows drivers to utilize the two side cameras which are used for Autopilot, to help with backing up into parking spaces. The two side views will now appear with the standard backup camera to give you more information than probably you know what to do with.
Dashcam Improvements
To make Sentry Mode videos easier to review, we have added a red dot along the video scrubber to indicate the moment when a Sentry Mode event was triggered. When playing a Sentry Mode video, the Dashcam Viewer will skip ahead and begin playback right before this point.

A very small quality of life feature, it will now be easier for you find the relevant footage when looking for the reason that Sentry Mode was activated.
Walk-Away Door Lock Improvements
You now have the option to disable Walk-Away Door Lock when your vehicle is parked at Home. Tap Controls > Locks and select “Exclude Home.”
Note: To save a home location, tap Navigate > Set Home.
| First Noticed 2020.24.5 (June 2020) | MCU 2+ | AP 2+ |
Another small quality of life improvement that will stop locking itself upon you walking away when it senses that it is at home.
On-Route Battery Warmup
Your vehicle will now precondition the battery when navigating to third party fast charging stations, in addition to Superchargers. As usual, you can find a list of nearby third party charging locations by tapping on the lightning bolt icon on the bottom of your touchscreen.
| First Noticed 2020.24.5 (June 2020) | MCU 2+ | AP 2+ |
Initially the on-route battery warmup was only activated when navigating to Tesla chargers. However it now looks like Tesla has extended the feature to work with third-party chargers. On-route battery warmup will get the battery to its optimum temperature as you drive to your charger, allowing it to start charging much quicker.
New Language Support
You can now select Portuguese as your language. To update your language setting, tap Controls > Display and select the desired option from the Language drop down menu.
| First Noticed 2020.24.5 (June 2020) | MCU 2+ | AP 2+ |
Shout out to all my Portuguese folks, you can finally interact with your Tesla in your native language.
Cabin Camera
Help Tesla continue to develop safer vehicles by sharing camera data from your vehicle. This update will allow you to enable the built-in cabin camera above the rearview mirror. If enabled, Tesla will automatically capture images and a short video clip just prior to a collision or safety event to help engineers develop safety features and enhancements in the future. As usual, you can adjust your data sharing preferences by tapping Controls > Safety & Security > DATA SHARING > Allow Cabin Camera Analytics.
Note: Cabin camera images and video clips will not be associated with your VIN to protect your privacy.
| First Noticed 2020.24.5 (June 2020) | MCU 2+ | AP 2+ |
An interesting addition, Tesla will now allow owners to utilize the cabin camera to share data with the engineering team to help develop safety features. While I’m sure the intention is good, I wonder how many people will opt-in and feel comfortable with a camera staring at their face everytime they drive.
