Between festive gadgets and real practical advancements, Tesla’s Christmas 2025 update walks a tightrope.
Every year-end, Tesla owners look forward to their little digital gift. This 2025 edition feels like a drawer where an improbable gadget, a good idea, and two or three functions that could change daily life have been thrown together. In short: a joyful jumble, but not uninteresting.
Let’s start with what really matters: navigation. Tesla is finally rolling out a feature that has been awaited for months, the 3D visualization of certain Superchargers. Upon arriving at these “pilot” stations, the screen displays the exact layout of the charging points, their occupancy, and even the accesses. For regular users of the charging stations, this is a discreet yet real relief. Another advancement: it is now possible to reorganize favorites, set Home or Work with a simple drag-and-drop, and even let the car suggest destinations based on your habits. Convenient, without being groundbreaking.
It is in this same area that Grok, the AI from xAI, is finally beginning to be more than just an embedded chatbot. In “Assistant” mode, it can add or modify GPS destinations. Nothing extravagant, but a first step toward a more natural interaction between driver and car. One can sense Tesla’s ambition: to make Grok a digital co-pilot.
Tesla learns
On the safety front, the update swells its chest proudly. The Dashcam viewer adds speed, steering angle, and FSD status to recorded clips. In case of an accident or dispute, this data will hold weight. iPhone owners will appreciate the improved Dog Mode: a Live Activity displays real-time temperature, battery status, and snapshots of the cabin.
And then, as always, Tesla slips in a few quirks. A discount app-style Photobooth – filters, stickers, selfies from the cabin – or a docking simulator for the ISS to pass the time while charging. Santa Mode gains new effects, the Light Show expands, and the vehicle’s avatar can now wear custom coverings, plates, or tinted windows.
