As reported by the folks over at Tesla North, the Tesla app for iOS and Android has been updated to version 4.3. The update brings the following new features/improvements:
The quick controls Tesla added to the app in version 4.0 can now be personalized, with a number of replacement options available. On iOS, you’ll see a message that reads, “Long press icons to customize,” atop the quick controls when you open the Tesla app for the first time after updating.
Upon long-pressing the quick controls, a menu will pop up with a number of additional quick control options, including:
Drag and drop the option you want over to an existing quick control, and it will be replaced. Once you’re happy with your configuration, tap on Save. If you’re using a Tesla app widget, the change will also be reflected in the quick controls there.
With version 4.3 of the mobile app, Tesla brings Sentry Mode Live Camera Access to supported cars in a number of countries, but Canada still isn’t one of them. There’s no word yet on when Sentry Mode Live Camera Access will make its way to the Great White North, but we’re hoping our patience will be rewarded (and soon).
The update also includes a pretty big new feature for Tesla owners in China. According to @42how_, version 4.3 of the Tesla app adds the ability to unlock Supercharger floor locks.
Some Supercharger locations in China are fitted with floor locks that prevent non-Tesla vehicles from parking in Supercharging spots, and the update will let Tesla owners disable these contraptions right from the Tesla app.
Check out how the new feature works in the video below:
