Not a Telsa App - Tesla News

Tesla frequently adjusts its official online store, shuffling prices, retiring older inventory, and introducing fresh accessories. Over the past month or so, the U.S. Tesla Shop received several notable updates, ranging from new apparel and heavy-duty Cybertruck utility upgrades to playful additions for your pets. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new on the Tesla Shop, along with recent pricing adjustments and quiet product departures.

Tesla’s next-generation silicon is officially moving off the drawing board and onto physical wafers. Samsung has kicked off trial production for Tesla’s much-anticipated AI5 chip at its brand-new foundry in Taylor, Texas. The move marks a crucial transition from laboratory design to physical validation as Samsung works to verify manufacturing yields ahead of high-volume production.

Voice assistants in cars are often criticized for doing little more than tuning the radio or turning the AC on and off. Tesla, however, has been rewriting that reputation ever since Grok debuted across North America in update 2025.26 last year before spreading into Europe and Asian markets. Over the past year, the SpaceXAI chatbot has evolved from a virtual conversation partner into a genuinely helpful copilot.

Tesla is already setting up new owners to kit out their Model Y Ls as the first customer handoffs inch closer. The three-row, six-seat Model Y L officially made its way to the U.S. earlier this summer, and the first wave of deliveries is slated to begin hitting American driveways later this month.

Ever since it made an unexpected entrance rolling out from the trailer of the original Semi concept in late 2017, the second-generation Tesla Roadster has occupied a unique space in automotive lore. Part halo sports car, part engineering moonshot, the vehicle has survived endless date changes, design revisions, and outlandish promises. Now, the wait is almost over.

Deploying electric vehicle charging stations traditionally means weeks of loud trenching, laying conduits, pouring concrete pads, and wiring dispensers one at a time, and that’s if you can find a suitable location. Tesla has spent years replacing that slow, piecemeal construction process with factory pre-fabrication, and its latest innovation takes modular deployment to an entirely new level.

Getting into a pre-warmed cabin with toasty seats is one of the best perks of driving an electric vehicle in colder weather. However, leaving high-draw heating elements running continuously across long road trips can take a toll on heating coils and cabin upholstery over time, not to mention using up more battery. To safeguard hardware and range, Tesla has quietly introduced an automatic timeout for seat heaters.

Bringing an American heavy-duty electric commercial hauler across the Atlantic takes much more than swapping out the charge plug. Tesla announced last week that the Semi is officially coming to Europe, with customer deliveries starting in 2027. Production-intent prototypes are now on display at the IAA Transportation show in Hanover, Germany, revealing a slate of distinct revisions for the European version.

Tesla’s 2026.26 Summer Update brought Grok commands for calls, music and climate controls, preferred routes, and automatic navigation that adapts to your routine. It also added custom wrap uploads directly from your phone, adjustable driving visualization zoom, and Caraoke scoring on supported vehicles. Alongside those headline features, Tesla also included smaller changes that weren’t mentioned in the release notes. Here’s a look at the undocumented features in Tesla’s 2026.26 update.
