Tesla has introduced a new update to its mobile app that aims to conserve battery life in electric vehicles.
The update, version 4.35.0, addresses the issue of phantom battery drain, which occurs when the vehicle performs tasks while idle.
Previously, the app could cause battery depletion even when the car was not being driven, but this update limits the app’s activity to only when a command is sent.
This change will help EV owners preserve range and alleviate "range anxiety" concerns, especially in situations where every mile counts.
