Daily Briefing

Tesla is making headlines today with significant milestones and software updates. From reaching a major production achievement to introducing features that enhance user experience, here's a roundup of the top stories you need to know. Tesla Daily Briefing – June 7, 2025 1. Tesla Produces 8 Millionth Vehicle Tesla has reached a significant production milestone by manufacturing its 8 millionth vehicle. This achievement comes just eight months after producing its 7 millionth car, highlighting the company's rapid growth. The milestone vehicle, an Ultra Red Model Y, rolled off the production line at Gigafactory Berlin. This accomplishment underscores Tesla's expanding global manufacturing capabilities and increasing demand for its electric vehicles. 2. Heated Steering Wheel Auto-Activation Update Tesla's latest software update introduces an improvement to the heated steering wheel feature. Now, when the steering wheel heater is set to 'Auto,' it will activate based on the cabin temperature, even if the climate control system is set manually. Previously, the climate system needed to be set to 'Auto' for the steering wheel heater to function automatically. This enhancement aims to provide added comfort for drivers in colder climates. 3. Delete Multiple Dashcam Videos Simultaneously Tesla's software update 2025.20 introduces a new feature allowing users to delete multiple Dashcam or Sentry Mode videos at once directly from the vehicle's interface. This improvement streamlines the process of managing recorded footage, making it more convenient for users to clear unwanted clips. The feature is currently available for vehicles equipped with AMD Ryzen processors, including all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles with Ryzen, as well as 2021+ Model S and Model X vehicles. 4. Improved Charging Cable Release for Third-Party Chargers Tesla has added a new shortcut for Model 3 and Model Y owners using third-party charging equipment. With software update 2025.20, users can now stop charging sessions and unlock the charging cable or adapter by pulling and holding the rear left door handle for three seconds. This feature simplifies the process when using non-Tesla chargers, especially those without an unlatch button. The vehicle must be unlocked or have a key nearby for this function to work. 5. Approval for Australian Battery Recycling Facility Tesla has received critical approval from the South Australian Council to develop a battery recycling facility in Marion, a suburb of Adelaide. The proposed site, currently unusable for recreation due to chemical contamination, will be remediated and developed to serve two purposes: recycling old lithium-ion batteries and functioning as a Tesla Service Center. This initiative aims to enhance Tesla's sustainability efforts by recycling used batteries and reducing environmental impact, while also contributing to the local economy.
