Version 4.20.69 of the Tesla app includes the eagerly awaited trip-planning capability. Tesla users may now use the app to plan a journey and then send it straight to their vehicle. You can use this guide to learn about the new features, restrictions, and other changes in this release.
How to Use the New Trip Planner from Tesla
Go to the location area of the Tesla app, tap “navigate,” then enter your destination to access the trip planner. The app will subsequently find Superchargers throughout the route, provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA), indicate the amount you will need to charge at every charger, show the battery level of your car, and map out the route.
Adapting Your Trip
For your journey, the trip planner gives personalization choices. If your car has an alternate charge level when you leave, you can enter a custom value or set your starting battery percentage to be the current level. The app’s default start location is also where your automobile is right now, but you can adjust it if necessary. Send the journey to your car when you’re prepared to do so.
Trip planner restrictions
The new travel planner offers a practical way to arrange your itinerary in advance, but it has certain restrictions:
1. Waypoints (multiple destinations) are not supported.
2. Your charging stops cannot be customised.
3. It is impossible to set the arrival battery percentage.
4. Trips cannot be scheduled and archived for future; these need to be sent to your vehicle.
5. Although the feature is generally accessible, not everyone can use it.
6. The app fails to display Supercharger costs or the overall cost of the journey.
Other Features of App Updates
The Tesla app update 4.20.69 includes the trip planning tool in addition to the following improvements:
• The procedure of Phone Key pairing has been made simpler by eliminating the requirement for your Key Card.
• Customers who have Tesla insurance can now instantly set up service appointments through the app for Tesla Insurance claims.
• The price and availability chart for a Supercharger can now be tapped and held to reveal an estimate of the number of chargers that are available at any given moment, with labels like “Most Chargers Available,” “Some Chargers Available,” or “Most Chargers in Use.”
Potential Improvements
Although the trip planner in the Tesla app now has some restrictions, it is reasonable to anticipate that Tesla will keep improving and enhancing the tool in subsequent versions. With this most recent app update, Tesla users may currently experience driving an electric vehicle in a way that is more convenient and seamless.
