Tesla App Update: Insurance Policy Holders Can Now Start and Manage Claims

Tesla has updated its iOS app on Monday evening, detailing how “Tesla Insurance policy holders can initiate and manage claims,” right from the app. Tesla owners in California and Texas have the electric automaker’s insurance option, only for now.

Also new is “support for bringing disconnected Powerwalls back onto Wi-Fi.”

Some unannounced tidbits, as spotted by @Teslascope, is the app now shows the amount of kWh added in your last charging session.

Small tidbit: The total amount of kWh added in your last charging session now appears in the Tesla mobile app in the latest update, 4.4.0.

While you’re charging, the status shows how many kWh are being added, according to our tests.

According to @Tesla_App_iOS, the code of the iOS app shows new assets for a Tesla Charger and non-Tesla top down view. Also new are code strings for finance/lease vehicle items, plus a new charging stats feature preview, which is in testing.

And that's all we've found for now, if we find anything additional we'll add to this thread. pic.twitter.com/2WV1kfWslM
