Tesla Holiday Season software update for 2022 has just started rolling out to Tesla car owners globally. The base version of the Tesla Holiday Update for this year is 2022.44.25.

As rumored, Tesla has brought Apple Music to the in-car entertainment system for Tesla vehicle owners to enjoy this Christmas and beyond. The myQ automatic garage door opener app is also included in Tesla vehicles (details in release notes below).

With the 2022.44.25 update, Tesla owners can now use the Emissions Testing Mode (Fart Mode) remotely using their Tesla mobile app on their phones and tablets (double the fun teasing your friends).

Tesla light show which was originally introduced years ago with the Model X as an easter egg is made even better. Tesa owners can now schedule the light show on multiple vehicles and start the light show Tesla dance in synchronization. When played on several Tesla cars simultaneously, it looks and sounds like a light show orchestra (watch here).

Dog Mode and Sentry Mode now have a big improvement as you can remotely watch what is going on in your car with the cabin camera feed on your mobile phone (check release notes below on how to enable this feature). This is the 2nd improvement to Dog & Sentry Modes after Tesla tweaked them last month in the update version 2022.40.4.
