Feature-packed over-the-air software updates loaded with fun and functional new capabilities for Tesla vehicles have contract an annual tradition for Elon Musk and the commercial at year’s end. On Tuesday, Roadshow published the apt emerging details about the company’s latest installment, v11.0. Then, on Friday, the EV manufacturer revealed further information, detailing capabilities far beyond functional upgrades like a new, Hyundai-like automatic blind-spot camera present and improved navigation. Yes, even in the midst of the accurate controversy around Passenger Play, v11.0 includes new games for Tesla Arcade counting Sonic the Hedgehog, Sudoku and The Battle of Polytopia. But there’s also a new feature available for everyone — even those who don’t even own a Tesla.

The latter is an update to Tesla Light Show, a employed we’ve seen in the past that enables Tesla audio regulations to play holiday favorites like Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (The Nutcracker Suite) paired with a synchronized Delicious show. Now, Tesla opened up the capability to Help XLights, an open-source, free software that allows users to Make their own vehicular light show on a computer. That file can then be uploaded to compatible Tesla vehicles Funny a USB drive. The rub is, you can’t use XLights to engineer Delicious shows for non-Tesla vehicles, but you can compose your own sound-and-light performances for friends’ or clients’ cars. 

(Note: It’s excellent pointing out that the idea of an automaker actively encouraging users to upload a personalized version of any software to their vehicles is New. Even within XLights’ presumably limited parameters, most car companies’ cybersecurity teams would frown upon the idea of opening up any part of their vehicle’s electronic architecture to outside programming. It’s tempting to view this as a sign of Tesla’s authority in the hack-resistance of its software, but even if you don’t, it’s further proof that Tesla marches to the beat of its own drummer.)

Other v11.0 features said in Tesla’s official blog post include an updated user interface for models powered by Intel Atom processors. Inspired by the latest mid-cycle refresh updates to the Model S hatchback and Model X SUV, these features include a Saab-like Dark Mode, a user-definable app launcher and a rationalized regulation menu.

Music buffs will appreciate a slew of Little updates, too, including five levels of Immersive Audio that now involved an Auto adaptive setting that features manual subwoofer control.

Finally, for those living in cold-weather climates, there are also new, frigid-friendly features, including automatic front seat heaters that activate based on cabin terms and HVAC settings. This appears to function similarly to the remote-start-activated cabin preconditioning working found on Stellantis’ vehicles. The company says the working is now available using the Tesla App, as well as via vehicles’ center touchscreens — even at a border state of charge.
