MODEL S SOFTWARE RELEASE NOTES v6.0

© COPYRIGHT 2014 TESLA MOTORS INC

With this release, we are now offering you an enhanced navigation system that incorporates real-time traffic, and a new Calendar app that allows you to view and navigate to events from your phone’s calendar. This update also further extends the Model S intelligent driving experience with location-based Smart Air Suspension. Additional features include new power management options and the ability to personalize the name of your car.

The Calendar app requires the use of the latest Tesla Mobile App, available for Android and iOS phones.

Traffic-Based Navigation (BETA)

Routing

The Model S navigation system now takes real-time traffic conditions into account when determining your route, and estimated travel times are adjusted to reflect traffic. This feature will also continuously monitor traffic while navigating, and re-route if warranted. To make this feature as good as it can be, we may collect information about the direction, location, and speed of our customers’ vehicles, and share it with a partner. This data will be collected and shared without your particular VIN or your personally identifiable information, and we will not collect or share data from the beginning or end of trips. You can disable this feature and the collection and sharing of this data via the TRAFFIC-BASED ROUTING setting in Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps & Navigation.

Note: The Traffic-Based Routing feature is only available if your Model S is equipped with the Navigation option.

Commute Advice

Even if you do not use navigation on your daily commute to and from work, the Model S navigation system will now monitor traffic between your home and work locations and let you know if there’s a faster route due to traffic. This advice is only triggered on weekday mornings and evenings. You can set the time savings required before commute advice is triggered via the setting MIN IMPROVEMENT FOR COMMUTE ADVICE in Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps & Navigation.

Note: Traffic-Based Commute Advice is only available if your Model S is equipped with the Navigation option and if you save home and work locations.

Other Maps/Navigation Improvements • Improved traffic display with route line: Yellow and red

traffic lines are now rendered on top of the route line, making traffic easier to see. Green traffic lines are no longer displayed above the route line.

• In full screen, the turn list shows more of the turns ahead.

• The turn list is now more concise – repeated consecutive slight turns that keep you on the same road are combined into one instruction.

• Favorites: For vehicles that are not equipped with the Navigation option, you can store frequently used locations to a “Favorites” list under “Places.” To mark a destination as a Favorite, select its “pin” (from search results or “Recents”), and then tap the heart icon.

• The MAP MAGNIFICATION option in the Maps & Navigation settings has been removed.

• Updated navigation maps: New maps will be available for your navigation system soon. Your car must be connected to a Wi-Fi network to receive the maps. You’ll be notified with an on-screen message once the maps have installed. Map updates will start rolling out gradually after Release v6.0 is launched.

Calendar (BETA) The new Calendar app in your Model S allows you to view your phone’s calendar for the current and next day. If a calendar event has a location specified, you will be given the option to navigate to that location. When you have an event on your Calendar that will take place within the next hour and has a uniquely specified location, the Model S navigation system will notify you if there is a better route due to traffic, even if you’re not using navigation.

Note:

You must have the latest Tesla Mobile App, available for Android and iOS phones.

• Please grant calendar access to the Tesla Mobile App when prompted on your phone.

• Your phone must be connected to the Model S via Bluetooth to show your calendar.

• The Tesla Mobile App must be running and you must be logged in. Calendar data will be periodically (and automatically) sent from your phone to the car via the Tesla Mobile App and server. Bringing up the app on your phone will also send updated calendar data to the car.

• Please also make sure that remote access to your Model S is enabled for this feature to work (the REMOTE ACCESS setting is in Controls > Settings > Safety & Security > MOBILE).

• Both your car and your phone need to have good connectivity for the calendar data to be sent and received.

New Power Management Options This release gives you more control over how your car saves energy. With the NIGHTLY option, your Model S will shift to the energy-saving mode at night only (10pm to 5am), leaving your car more responsive to the mobile app during the day. Additionally, the new “Always Connected” option allows the mobile app to connect to your car more quickly and provides immediate 3G internet access when entering the car, but uses a little more energy. You can access these features via the ENERGY SAVING setting in Controls > Displays > POWER MANAGEMENT.

Location-Based Smart Air Suspension Location-Based Smart Air Suspension is a new feature that is useful on roads or driveways that require higher clearance. With this feature, your car will remember where you select HIGH or VERY HIGH ride heights. The air suspension will then automatically rise at those locations in the future (a notification will appear on the instrument panel when this comes into effect). To remove this setting for a specific location, please delete it in Controls > Driving, or change the suspension level to STANDARD or LOW at the same location.

The suspension will automatically lower from VERY HIGH to HIGH when driving speed reaches 22 mph (35 km/h), and will lower from HIGH to STANDARD when driving speed reaches 34 mph (55 km/h).

Note: Location-Based Smart Air Suspension is only available if your Model S is equipped with Smart Air Suspension.

Custom Car Name You now have the option to further personalize your Model S by giving your vehicle its own name. The name can be set on the “About Your Tesla” screen and will also appear in the Tesla Mobile App.

Additional Improvements • New Feedback Voice Command: There is a new voice command to help you provide feedback. Say

“Note”, “Report”, “Bug note”, or “Bug report” followed by your brief comments. The car will capture a snapshot of your system, including screenshots of the two displays. Tesla will review these notes periodically and use them to continue improving Model S.

To initiate a voice command, press and hold the upper right steering wheel button. Wait for the tone and then speak your command while continuing to hold the button down. Then release the button when you’re finished speaking.

• Door Handle Improvement: Model S door handles are now more responsive, making the car doors easier to open.

• The instrument panel now has refined graphics, including a streamlined dial and other elements.
