A couple of days ago, Elon Musk posted a tweet that provided a timeline for the latest version of FSD beta. While discussing version 10.8 (they're skipping 10.7), he also included a cryptic line about 'holiday fun'.

Tesla plans to start a broad rollout of its 2021 Holiday Update the day before Christmas Eve, on December 23. Tesla FSD Beta testers are expected to receive an update, too, right when the Christmas festivities are bound to start for some families.

The Holiday Update is expected to introduce a new UI for Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, expand Tesla's Light Show capability to other cars in its lineup, and roll out some feature improvements. Not all the features seem super useful, but some should make a nice difference for Tesla owners.

Christmas Light Show
The Model X is famous for having the ability to perform a Christmas song where the windows roll down, the music plays, the lights flash and the falcon wing doors open in time to the music. While no other models will be able to do the doors, it seems possible Tesla will offer a similar Christmas mode to the other models.

Refreshed Model S/X UI draggable components
In its Holiday Update, Tesla also introduced the Customizable App Launcher, allowing owners to customize the menu bar in their infotainment systems.

Feature Improvements
As with any update, Tesla improved a few key features, includingvehicle controls, blind spot monitoring, and Waypoints.
Simplified Controls makes it easier for Tesla owners to focus on navigation, media, and the most common primary controls. The improvement should make accessing features in the infotainment system easier, so driving or operating a Tesla may be more convenient and perhaps even safer.

New Arcade Improvements
Being a Holiday Update, 2021.44.25 is rife with a number of improvements for Tesla Theater and Tesla Arcade. Access to a popular social media platform has also been enabled.
First up is Sonic the Hedgehog, which Elon Musk himself announced on Twitter recently. Multiplayer support for The Battle for Polytopia has also been enabled, which should make in-car gaming sessions even more fun.
Sudoku has also been added to the Tesla Arcade, complete with a mode that includes a smart hint system for beginners. Also, the popular social media app TikTok is now accessible to Teslas.

Mooers, do you want Tesla's santa mode for your car? Which features do you like best?

  • JohnnyWCK : iC

  • NnamdiNiamke : Yo wasup what’s the deal with this app it’s legit

  • DYODD Investor : Super

  • determined Birdie : king of greed speaks to his loyal subjects.

  • Revelation 6 determined Birdie : The king of greed? More like the master of personal assignment to get maximum brain power as to accelerate the thought to application time for the good of everyone. “Common Prosperity” is a joke that communists and socialist leaders tell each other and laugh loudly at as they glut themselves with food and drink while their people starve to death. But they did let their companies embrace capitalism long enough to build real wealth and are now in the process of stripping it all away. Their system is unsupportable so the steal from their people gutting them constantly. Must is greedy, at least he pay fair wages and the people get time off. At least they can express an opinion without facing the firing squad. You need to redefine what greedy is. He earned his money. He didn’t steal it from the people at gun point.

  • Revelation 6 : There’s a lot of new competition in the EV world and Tesla has to stay ahead of it. I think the changes are great for the retail buyer though I’m still not big on the driver doing anything but watching the road. Call me old fashioned, but I just think it’s safer. Just saying.

  • Dartist : wow

  • Upncoming1841 : I do not own a Tesla so I am not sure how it works. Thus, can some educate me if drivers will be distracted by the many activities like gaming, social media etc that they can engage in while driving? shouldn't they watch the raid instead?

  • Upncoming1841 : I do not own a Tesla, so I do not know how it works. Thus, can someone educate me if the various activities like gaming, watching tok tok, movies etc. that drivers can engage in while driving will distract them? Shouldn't drivers watch the road instead?
