Tesla's latest app release packs real security and convenience upgrades that owners have been requesting. The Tesla app 4.6 update introduces Tesla passkey support, a refreshed Tesla wallet update, and expanded power share Tesla app controls.
Passkeys replace traditional passwords with device-bound biometrics. I’ve already switched several accounts to passkeys because they cut down on phishing risks. Tesla adding this to the app feels like a smart move that keeps the vehicle ecosystem more secure without extra hassle.
The Tesla wallet update is version two. It currently stores credit cards for in-app purchases and charging. The new version could expand to hold digital key cards or other vehicle credentials. That would make managing multiple Teslas or loaning one out simpler.
Power share features also get attention. The Cybertruck already supports vehicle-to-home, and the new Model Y Premium now supports vehicle-to-load. This Tesla app 4.6 update adds better controls for those functions. Owners with the $75–$85 adapter can now fine-tune Tesla Model Y power share output directly from the phone. It’s a practical step for anyone using the vehicle as a backup power source during outages or at job sites.
These changes roll out automatically once you update through the App Store. I recommend checking now so the new options appear the next time you open the app.
Beyond software, the right accessories make daily driving smoother. My top recommendations remain phone mounts, all-weather floor mats, and center consoles. The Jowua Tesla accessories — phone mounts, center consoles, and more line fits every model I’ve tested and keeps the cabin organized. For floor protection, nothing beats 3W all-weather floor mats — 35% off with code DENNIS35. They’re the set currently in my Model X and Model 3 Performance.
