First look at Tesla v10 release notes: Here’s what’s coming

v10 got released to folks in the Early Access Program a few days ago, here’s what’s new:

• Tesla Theater: As Elon advanced on Twitter, Tesla are getting Netflix and YouTube through dedicated apps
• Caraoke: Card + Karaoke = Caraoke. This feature allows users to sign along their favorite tracks. According to the release notes, this feature is only available while in park. We think it’d be fun to have it while driving too, for passengers only of course
• Cuphead: Tesla Arcade is getting some serious games, Cuphead was announced a while ago and now is hitting the cars
• I’m feeling lucky / I’m feeling hungry: As we advanced a few weeks ago thanks to greentheonly, these two options are now part of the navigation
• Maps improvements: When searching for a destination the autocomplete now shows the distance to the place
• Sentry mode improvements: Sentry mode now records videos in a new folder to easily distinguish between Sentry recorded videos and Dashcam videos that you saved. It also overrides older Sentry videos when full
• Joe Mode: Quieter chimes to avoid waking up your Joe’s family
• Driving visuals: Additional objects, lane lines, and adjust the zoom and viewing angle
• Automatic lane change: The visualization now displays where the car is going

New car config 'lte_video_streaming:true'

Ahead of rolling out v10 to folks in the Early Access Program, Tesla also pushed a car config update fleet-wide. This new setting is “lte_video_streaming:true”. According to multiple reports, the beta of v10 isn’t requiring folks to be on WiFi to use YouTube or Netflix, I guess that is why they released this flag. I wonder if in the future we will be able to pay more to be able to access these features while on LTE.
