Two independent teardowns of Tesla's mobile app version 4.60.0 have turned up the same thing: strings for features Tesla has not announced. None of it is live, none of it has a date, and Tesla has said nothing about any of it. What follows is code, not a release.
Passkey logins
The clearest find is passkey support — cryptographic, device-bound authentication using Face ID, Touch ID or a hardware key in place of an email address and a password.
This matters more for a car app than for most apps. A Tesla account is not merely a login; it is a key, a location history and a payment method. Passwords are the weak link in that chain, and passkeys remove the thing that can be phished, reused or leaked in somebody else's breach. Tesla already supports two-factor authentication, but 2FA still sits on top of a password. A passkey replaces it.
European delivery paperwork
The find with the most direct bearing on buyers here is the least glamorous. The code points to reworked delivery documents for European markets — VAT documentation, country-specific lease agreements and localised compliance forms.
Anyone who has taken delivery in Europe knows why that is in the release notes of an app rather than a footnote. Handover paperwork differs by country, and the gap between Tesla's largely digital process and twenty-odd national registration and VAT regimes is where delivery dates slip. This is plumbing, and plumbing is what has been going wrong.
Lease returns
A third group of strings covers end-of-lease handling: loyalty fee waivers and financial settlements when a lease closes. The plain reading is that Tesla wants to make returning a leased car and starting another one something you do in the app, with an incentive attached to staying.
Cybertruck Powershare, again
Drive Tesla's decompile also found strings describing a connected Cybertruck held in standby until the Powershare Gateway detects a grid outage, at which point the vehicle and a Powerwall coordinate on supplying the house.
That feature has now missed three targets — 2025, mid-2026 and the summer 2026 deadline that is closing without a new date. Code appearing in a shipped build is usually a sign a release is near, and it is fair to say the signal is real. It is also fair to say owners have read this particular signal before.
Cybertruck is not sold in Europe and nothing here changes that. The engineering problem underneath it — two grid-forming devices negotiating which one leads during an outage — is the same one every vehicle-to-home product in Europe has to solve, so how Tesla resolves it is worth watching even from a market that cannot buy the truck.
How much weight to put on this
Very little, on timing. Decompiled strings tell you what has been built far enough to need a label; they do not tell you what will ship, in what form, or when. Features have sat dormant in Tesla app builds for months and some have never appeared at all. A second outlet, Basenor, catalogued four hidden features in the same 4.60.0 build and did not identify the Powershare strings specifically — which is a useful reminder that a decompile is an interpretation, not a changelog.
What is reasonable to conclude is narrower: passkey authentication and reworked European delivery documents are being worked on, and someone at Tesla thought the second was worth building for this continent specifically.
