Tesla has kicked off the rollout of its much-anticipated 2024 Holiday Update, tagged as version 2024.44.25.2, now reaching about 74% of its vehicle fleet. This update introduces several new features aimed at enhancing user experience and vehicle functionality. One of the headline features is the integration of the Tesla App with Apple Watch, allowing users to control aspects of their vehicle like adjusting climate settings or remotely opening the frunk right from their wrist.

Another significant addition is the capability to save Dashcam and Sentry Mode footage directly to your smartphone through the Tesla app. This feature not only enhances user convenience but also improves the security aspect by making it easier to review and share vehicle camera footage when needed.

On the autonomy front, the update includes enhancements to Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which has been a focal point for both enthusiasts and critics. While these tweaks aim to refine the existing FSD capabilities, there's considerable buzz around the potential rollout of FSD version 13. This new version is rumored to bring substantial improvements to autonomous driving, potentially offering smoother operation and better pedestrian detection. However, Tesla has not yet officially confirmed the inclusion of FSD v13 in this holiday update, leaving room for speculation and anticipation among the Tesla community.

As Tesla continues with its staggered update process, the excitement and some frustration among users eager for these enhancements are palpable. This holiday update not only brings practical benefits but also stirs discussions on the future of autonomous driving technology, setting the stage for what could be a transformative year for Tesla's software developments.
