Tesla appears to be preparing a new screen-sharing feature for its vehicles, according to findings from well-known Tesla hacker and software sleuth @greentheonly. The feature was discovered in software version 2025.38, which began rolling out last week.
Green, who has a long history of uncovering hidden Tesla features before they go public, said the new “screenshare” service could allow users — or Tesla itself — to export the vehicle’s screen for remote viewing. While the functionality is not yet active, it’s expected to play a role in remote diagnostics and support. “When you do it there’s going to be a notification on the screen,” Green explained on X, adding that it’s currently protected by a “super-duper static 4-digit pin” that’s auto-generated once per vehicle boot.
Although the feature remains in its early stages, a remote screen-sharing capability could streamline Tesla’s customer service experience. For instance, Tesla technicians could remotely view a driver’s screen in real-time to troubleshoot interface bugs, verify software versions, or walk customers through menu options without requiring a service visit.
Beyond service applications, the feature could also serve Tesla’s long-term Robotaxi ambitions. In the future, if one of the company’s autonomous vehicles encounters an issue while operating on the Robotaxi Network, engineers could remotely view the in-car display — including Full Self-Driving (Supervised) visualizations — to quickly diagnose and resolve problems.
However, security will be a key consideration. A car’s main display contains sensitive data such as location history, contacts, and navigation destinations. The current implementation appears rudimentary, but Tesla will likely add robust end-to-end encryption, one-time authentication codes, and clear visual indicators before deploying the feature publicly.
Software version 2025.38 is one of Tesla’s more substantial updates in recent months. In addition to early groundwork for screen sharing, it introduced 3D buildings and cityscapes to the built-in navigation map, added new FSD visualizations for emergency vehicles and buses expected to go live in a future release, and expanded Tesla’s in-car AI assistant, Grok, to drivers in Canada.
As with most early feature discoveries, Tesla hasn’t officially commented on when the screen sharing capability will roll out to customers — but it’s another step toward a more connected, intelligent, and serviceable Tesla ecosystem.
