Now, users ofTeslacars have got a decent free upgrade. In the latest software update, ultrawide band Bluetooth connectivity has been added.

That’s designed to improve accuracy for those using the app to unlock their vehicle. Users can go into the Tesla app to unlock without a physical key.

A statement from the release notes says, “Ultrawide band (UWB) technology is now available for Phone Key. So your vehicle and Phone Key can communicate with greater accuracy to more responsively lock, unlock, and open Automatic Doors.”

In order to take advantage of the new technology, users will need both a vehicle and aniPhonewhich supports ultrawide band technology. Thatincludeseverything from theiPhone 11and later, though it’s worth noting that theiPhone SEmodels aren’t capable of running that.

Beyond that, though, you should be good to go. Make sure you have the latest version of the app downloaded in order to use the feature.

Oh, and don’t panic if you don’t have the update right away. These things can take some time to roll out to users, so you may need to wait a little while longer for it to hit your device.
