Tesla Releases Spring 2025 Update on Software, Offering New Features for All Models

【PCauto】In April 2025, Tesla rolled out its spring software update, introducing new functionalities for the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck, with a key focus on enhancing user experience and intelligence.
The first new feature significantly impacts user experience: the “Continuous Power Supply for In-Car Interfaces.” This function allows the vehicle to still charge devices like smartphones or tablets after it has been locked and the user has exited, as long as the remaining battery charge is above 20%. This capability is particularly valuable for users in need of emergency charging during long trips, especially in remote areas or outdoor activities where power sources may be scarce.
The second feature update enhances Tesla's dashcam function by enabling the use of the B-pillar cameras, providing coverage for both the Sentry Mode (parked) and dashcam mode (driving), enabling 360-degree monitoring. This addition effectively mitigates risks of dings and theft.
The third feature update introduces four personalized options to the Tesla navigation system: Fastest Route, Avoid Highways, Best Amenities (such as charging stations or convenience stores), and Fewer Stops. For instance, the “Avoid Highways” option can help users save time on their journeys.
As Tesla's strategic vehicle for expanding into the outdoor market, the Cybertruck receives two exclusive new features in this update. The first is "FSD Comfort Mode," which automatically switches the vehicle to a comfort driving mode when full self-driving is enabled, making it suitable for long-distance driving on unpaved roads. The second feature is "Lane Departure Detection," which uses central console alerts and steering wheel vibrations to warn drivers, potentially reducing the risk of drifting on narrow roads.
This spring update not only continues Tesla's software-driven hardware innovation approach but also addresses the practical needs of Southeast Asian users through situational functionality design, providing a safer and more convenient driving experience in diverse and challenging road conditions.

Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
BYD discloses four patents for variable flux permanent magnet synchronous motors, addressing the efficiency conflict of motors at high and low speeds in automobiles
Traditional permanent magnet synchronous motors can provide strong torque at low speeds, but on highways, the fixed rotor magnetic flux leads to increased back electromotive force, causing a sharp drop in efficiency. This long-standing contradiction in the industry has now found a new solution with the announcement of BYD's latest technology patent.
