Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Down Under

Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Down Under can drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It will make lane changes, select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate around other vehicles and objects, and make left and right turns. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive. It does not make your vehicle autonomous. Do not become complacent.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Down Under is enabled on your vehicle. To use the feature, press the right scroll wheel once. You can disable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Down Under in Autopilot Settings.

Note: This is an early access build. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive.

Vision-Based Attention Monitoring

HW4

When Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled, the driver monitoring system primarily relies on the cabin camera to determine driver attentiveness. Cabin camera must have clear visibility (e.g., camera is not occluded, eyes, arms, are visible, there is sufficient cabin illumination, and the driver is looking forward at the road). In other circumstances, the driver monitoring system will primarily rely on torque-based (steering wheel) monitoring to detect driver attentiveness.

If the cabin camera detects inattentiveness, a warning will appear. The warning can be dismissed by the driver immediately reverting their attention back to the road ahead. Warnings will escalate depending on the nature and frequency of detected inattentiveness, with continuous inattention leading to a Strikeout.

Tesla has added a new locking animation when you remotely lock your vehicle through the Tesla app or by walking away, and there’s still someone in the vehicle with a phone.

This new alert lets users inside the vehicle know that the vehicle can still be opened from the outside due to a phone key being nearby.

Tesla’s mobile access option, found under Controls > Safety, can safely disable your vehicle from being controlled from Tesla’s mobile app. This removes the ability to control any aspects of the vehicle, including seeing the location, unlocking and starting the vehicle.

To disable mobile access, you previously had to provide the email associated with your Tesla account. You can now provide the email address or the phone number associated with your Tesla account.

Battery Health Test Removed

Tesla has removed its Battery Health Test feature from many, but not all, vehicles. Tesla’s Battery Health Test was initially added to Service Mode, but was later added to the vehicle’s main menus under Service — allowing more users to access it.

The test allows owners to see their vehicle’s battery degradation levels. While the tool under Controls and Service Mode are almost identical, the main menu version requires your vehicle to have less than a 20% state of charge before performing the test. It also only allows you to run the test once every six months to prevent further degradation from running the test too often.

It’s not clear why the feature has been removed at this time, even for vehicles that have never run the test, but the removal depends on your vehicle’s model, age, and potentially other factors.

Now, your Cybertruck can detect and warn you if the vehicle’s load rating is being exceeded.
