Tesla has started rolling out its 2024.8 software update and now we have release notes, courtesy of Not a Tesla App.
Some new features include One-Time Charge Limit which is handy for road trips, plus the roll out of Adaptive High Beams for vehicles with matrix headlights. One improvement we’re excited for is a classic turn signal icon, now easier to see at a glance.
