The update improves comfort, nighttime visibility, and the gaming experience.
Key Takeaways
- Tesla announces software update 2024.20 with improvements to headlights, HVAC, and gaming systems.
- Improved headlights adapt to road curves for visibility; adaptive headlights illuminate more while driving on the highway.
- HVAC update cools cabin quicker, regulates high-voltage battery temp for better charging, and offers quieter AC for Cybertruck.
Tesla has announced that a new software update – 2024.20 – is rolling out. The news was announced via X (formerly Twitter) and concerns the headlights, HVAC, and gaming systems. Tesla recently announced that Steam gaming access is being revoked, but users can still access games in the Tesla Arcade, one of which is Beach Buggy Racing 2: Tesla Edition. After the update, Supercharger stalls will display leaderboards for this game for you to compare yourself against, making waiting for your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y to charge a less dull affair. The other updates are a little more practical.
Useful Improvements
Tesla drivers in the US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and South Korea now benefit from improved headlights that will adapt to curves in the road ahead for enhanced visibility. Similarly, those with Tesla adaptive headlights will also get the benefit of curve adaption, but with the added bonus that these lights will “illuminate more when you’re driving on a highway.” This suggests that Tesla has found a way to cast more light down the road without dazzling oncoming drivers.

Finally, Tesla is updating the HVAC system, promising that the ‘Auto’ function will cool the cabin down quicker and more efficiently. In the same vein, Tesla says the update better regulates the high-voltage battery temperature for improved charging performance at Supercharger stalls. And for the Tesla Cybertruck, the air conditioning fans will be quieter and less obvious to occupants.
Updates Build On Meaningful Recent Launches & Updates
These updates will help keep the Tesla range fresh for a little longer, and more updates will duly follow throughout the year. One of those is expected to be the introduction of the FSD driver assist suite to the Cybertruck later this month, but we’re not expecting any big changes to the lineup for some time as company CEO Elon Musk has refocused efforts on the robotaxi side of the business. The self-driving ‘Robo Cab,’ as it has been dubbed, will be revealed in August.
