Tesla's forced single-pedal model is finally becoming a thing of the past. Today, Tesla released a software update for 2023.12.9, which is as follows:

1. Network security vulnerability repair: software signature check condition competition vulnerability, gateway buffer overflow vulnerability, abuse of symbolic link vulnerability, software version potential degradation vulnerability;

2. Reduce the internal short-circuit monitoring voltage of the electronic power steering system to optimize its stability;

3. Calibration and update of traction control to optimize the performance of low adhesion pavement and high speed stability;

4. Improved energy recovery braking, supporting the selection of energy recovery braking intensity when the accelerator pedal is released during driving. Energy recovery brake factory default setting is "low";

5. Send a reminder when the driver presses the accelerator pedal deeply for a long time;

6, stop mode function improvement, stop mode factory default setting is "slow line";

7. The vehicle supports Icelandic language display;

8, new features, support when shifting the car will issue a reminder buzzer;

9. Improved mobile phone application to control calls through the left roller button of the steering wheel;

10. New features. Roller customization, use the left roller button on the steering wheel to perform more operations;

11. Improved user interface, using the "search" function to quickly access control and Settings;

12, user interface improvement, support to select "standard" or "large" touch screen text;

13. New features, learn about basic functions such as creating driver Settings, using phone keys and energy recovery braking through the "Know Your Tesla" teaching experience in the new "Manual" app.

In addition, the map pack version is updated; CN - 2023.6-14485

The most important of these are four and five,It does away with Tesla's time-honored forced single-pedal mode and makes driving safer by warning when the accelerator is pressed too hard for too long.

Last week, Tesla announced that it would launch an OTA recall of 1.1 million domestic electric vehicles, adding three new features, the fourth and fifth of the announcement.

In fact, Tesla could have adjusted the intensity of kinetic energy recovery, but from 2021, the domestic Model 3 and Model Y have canceled the adjustment option, and the factory default of all vehicles is strong kinetic energy recovery. In the strong kinetic energy recovery mode, the vehicle can indeed guarantee long endurance, which can reduce the brake pad loss compared with fuel vehiclesLoose switch deceleration, stepping on the logic of the switch acceleration also let many owners said do not adaptHas even been cited as a major cause of Tesla's frequent accidents.

Despite the controversy surrounding the mandatory single-pedal model, Tesla has not made the change, and this OTA update is especially importantInitiate a defect investigation at the State Administration for Market RegulationUnder the circumstances. In any case, giving choice back to the user is the right thing to do, not "better consumer education".
