Tesla Lists Robo-taxi As Now Being In Development |

Tesla's Q2 earnings presentation listed products in production and development, and interesting enough, Robo-Taxi appears on the last line as being 'in development.'

Elon Musk publicly discussed the idea of a fully autonomous vehicle at the Giga Texas opening in April. Two weeks later, he briefly talked about Robo-Taxi in his 2022 first-quarter earnings call .

The product was not mentioned during this quarter's earnings call, but Robo-Taxi could not be missed in the report to investors.

In April, Elon Musk said, “But it’s fundamentally optimized to achieve the lowest fully considered cost per mile or cost per kilometer, accounting for everything. And so it’s, I think, going to be a very powerful product.” Musk says his vision of Robo-Taxi is a fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals, and he thinks it could be coming soon. “Where we aspire to reach volume production of that in 2024. So, I think that really will be a massive driver of Tesla’s growth.”

Of course, for Robo-Taxi to succeed, Full Self Driving (FSD) will have to be completely functional, which is closer to reality, according to the CEO. “We have now deployed our FSD beta with city streets driving capability to over 100,000 owners.

They are very happy with the capability of the system, and we will continue to improve it every week.” Musk says Tesla has now driven more than 35 million miles with the beta FSD. He believes that is more miles than all other vehicle manufacturers combined, “so, that mileage is growing exponentially.” said Musk.

The in-development project explains recent comments Musk made to the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley interview (interview below).

Elon said FSD is the difference between the company being worth a lot or not very much. “Autonomy is a monumental breakthrough,” said Musk.

He also spoke candidly about FSD, “the sheer amount of work required to do this boggles the mind.” Musk admitted FSD is a bigger challenge than he originally predicted, “I’ve seen a lot of tough technology problems and solving real-world AI such that a car can drive itself is one of the hardest problems I’ve ever seen. It is way harder than I originally thought, by far.”

Even admitting how complex and challenging FSD is, Musk is still confident that it will be fully operational this year. If that happens, Robo-Taxis will be hailed soon as well.

Tesla has released their latest monthly update, version 2022.24.

As usual, these updates are packed (usually) with improvements and new features.

This update is no different.

The first major feature of 2022.24 is the release of cloud profiles, known officially as Tesla Profiles.

Tesla Profiles will give you the ability to tie your vehicle profile to your Tesla account. Your supported profile settings will then be saved to the cloud, allowing you to sync driver profiles across multiple vehicles.

More information on Tesla's new cloud profiles, check out our Tesla Profiles article .

Tesla introduced the Blind Spot Camera about seven months ago with Tesla's 2021 holiday update .

The feature lets you display the vehicle's corresponding fender camera on-screen when you activate the turn signal.

Unfortunately, there were no choices in terms of where the camera feed appeared on the screen, and it was permanently fixed to the bottom of the screen.

With 2022.24 Tesla is fixing that. You'll be able to drag and drop the camera feed (video) to one of three predefined locations on the screen. They include the bottom corner closest to the driver, the top corner closest to the driver, or the top corner inside of the map area, near the 'Navigate to' button.

Sentry Mode has been a great addition since its introduction. It has already helped catch countless thieves and acts of vandalism.

As Teslas become more popular and the feature becomes well known, it could actually help reduce thefts and crime.

With 2022.24 Tesla is adding a new option to Sentry Mode: the ability to disable sounds.

The ability to use Sentry Mode without having an audible alarm was actually a part of update 2022.20 , but it was only available in Israel, where local laws prevent a vehicle alarm from making an audible noise.

With 2022.24 Tesla is now giving you the ability to use a silent version of Sentry Mode.

Tesla says that all other features of Sentry Mode will continue to function, such as sending app notifications.

Over the years Tesla has switched many car preferences from applying to everyone to being driver specific.

With this update Tesla is adding a couple more. Your navigation favorites and recent locations will now be profile specific.

That means that when someone else uses your vehicle, they'll have their own set of recent locations, and your recent locations and other drivers' destinations will no longer be mixed.

Favorites and recent locations will also be enabled in cloud profiles, so when you change vehicles, you'll have access to your same recent and favorite destinations.

Live Traffic Visualization, a Premium Connectivity feature that lets you view traffic along your route and surrounding streets.

Tesla is now enhancing the live traffic visualization by making it easier to see traffic on your route.

The traditional blue path that shows up in your navigation will now change color, depending on the amount of traffic for that particular area.

You may see a path that goes from blue to yellow to red, signifying the amount of traffic at each portion of the route, blue meaning no traffic.

Update: Traffic visualizations will still be shown on adjacent roads.

It looks like Tesla has made some other minor changes to the top area of the screen in the Model 3 and Model Y.

In order to make room for the blind spot camera at the top of the screen, Tesla has shifted some items around.

The turn signals have moved up, and they're now above the regeneration/acceleration line and will appear between the gear indicator and battery icon.

When the blind spot camera is active at the top of the screen, certain icons will also shift downward, such as the headlights and HOLD icons.

Update 2022.24 is surely going to be one that lots of owners look forward to receiving. However, keep in mind that Tesla features are often limited to certain regions to support local laws or due to data limitations.

2022.24 may also contain additional features that are not included here, while some features mentioned here may not be available for every model or region.

The long-rumored "cloud profiles" are finally arriving in Tesla update 2022.24.

Tesla is officially calling the feature 'Tesla Profiles.' With this latest update, you'll be given the option to tie your driver profile to your Tesla account.

If you decide to connect your profile to your Tesla account some of your vehicle's settings will be able to travel with you from one Tesla to another.

Settings such as mirror, seat and wheel positions will be synced across other supported vehicles. So if you're lucky enough to have multiple Teslas in your household and adjust your seat in one vehicle, then the setting will automatically be synced to the other vehicle.

Once your Tesla account is linked to a car profile, that car's profile will automatically appear in any other Teslas under your account.

These vehicles could be rentals or owned by you. As long as they show up in your Tesla app then your car profile will become available on that vehicle.

Having your car profile sync to multiple vehicles will be especially useful when renting a Tesla. It'll provide a consistent experience across vehicles and it'll save you time from having to adjust preferences such as your seat, mirrors, music preferences, and more.

This could be important for certain settings such as 'Stopping Mode'.

When you first get in the car, you may expect it to behave like your own Tesla and if the Stopping Mode is set to something unexpected, like roll, it could lead to confusion.

If you rent a Tesla or use one as a loaner, it'll feel almost magical being able to get in it and have it automatically adjust to you.

Tesla Profiles will go beyond just seat adjustments. It'll also include some vehicle settings, such as Autopilot, driving preferences, and climate control settings.

According to Tesla's release notes, navigation, media and data sharing preferences will also be tied to your Tesla account and sync over to other vehicles.

Synced settings will also include navigation favorites and recent destinations.

You'll be able to distinguish whether you're using a cloud profile or a local profile in your vehicle because Tesla Profiles will now include your profile photo from your Tesla app instead of the standard person silhouette. Your profile photo will appear next to your driver's profile name.

Tesla's release notes for this feature state:

Keep your settings and preferences synchronized across all supported vehicles using your Tesla account, including:

You can set up your Tesla Profile from Driver Profile settings and change your profile picture from the Tesla Mobile app.

This feature has been in the making for a while, with Elon first mentioning that Tesla would be moving info and settings to the cloud in August 2017.

Tesla's 2022.24 update also includes improvements to the Blind Spot Camera feature.
