Tesla has released mobile app version 4.58.5, a feature update headlined by easier multi-driver access and a new cabin-camera check that verifies who is behind the wheel before Full Self-Driving unlocks. The rollout continues Tesla's push to tie the phone app more tightly to the car's driver-monitoring hardware.

What's new in 4.58.5

  • Share App With Vehicle — a streamlined way to grant another person app access to a car, aimed at families and multi-driver households who previously had to juggle driver profiles and manual invites.
  • FSD Authentication — the app now works with the vehicle's interior cabin camera to confirm the identity of the person in the driver's seat before enabling Full Self-Driving (Supervised).
  • FSD Streaks — a gamified counter that tracks consecutive drives or days using FSD, part of Tesla's ongoing effort to encourage engagement with the feature.
  • Coastal Blue — a new color option surfaced in the app, matching the paint choices Tesla has been adding across the lineup.

Cabin-camera authentication, explained

The most consequential change is FSD Authentication. Rather than assuming the account holder is driving, the system uses the in-cabin camera to check that the person occupying the driver's seat is authorized to use autonomous features. In practice this raises the bar on driver monitoring: it ties responsibility for a supervised-autonomy session to a specific, verified individual instead of whoever happens to be logged in.

For European owners, where FSD (Supervised) is still expanding country by country under regulatory approval, tighter identity verification aligns with the kind of accountability regulators expect from advanced driver-assistance systems. It also lays groundwork for per-driver FSD settings and, potentially, subscription entitlements that follow the person rather than the car.

Rounding out the app

The release lands alongside other recent app improvements, including real-time "Live Update" Supercharging notifications that finally brought Android users to parity with iPhone owners for live charging-session tracking. As always, feature availability can vary by region and by vehicle hardware, and some items roll out gradually rather than appearing for every account at once.

App updates like 4.58.5 are delivered through the Apple App Store and Google Play, separately from the in-car firmware. Owners who do not see the new options immediately should confirm the app has updated to 4.58.5 or later and that their vehicle is running a compatible firmware build.
