Both the traffic-based navigation and calendar features are in a beta phase according to Tesla while the new power management options will allow owners to put their vehicle into energy saving mode at night to help maximize available energy. Commute advice aims to make the daily commute quicker and more convenient by monitoring traffic before you even start your weekday commute. The feature will also alert drivers with a pop-up message on the 17-inch touchscreen when a faster route is available.
