Autopark 

Autopark will now “automatically park in parallel and perpendicular spots”, reads the release notes, saying when the vehicle is travelling slower than 15 mph (25 km/h), the instrument customers will display a parking icon if it detects a potential parking spot.

“To initiate Autopark, tap-and-hold the Autopark button in the shift panel, and release the steering yoke,” explains Tesla.

Adaptive Suspension Damping

Tesla now says “a recalibrated suspension dampening algorithm allows for a smoother control and improved ride comfort. A rebalanced rebound-to-compression ratio works with the all-new multilink rear suspension to enhance steering response and handling for a higher degree of road connection and more precise control during spirited driving.”

According to @Manic_Marge, the suspension improvements are now “better than ever.”

Accessibility Update

Tesla says “Child Lock replaces Camera under Controls” now. It adds, “you can still access Camera via the bottom bar on your touchscreen.”
