Tesla has begun rolling out a holiday update for the legacy Model S and X, which had not received it along with Model 3/Y and 2021 Model S/X. While not all update features are available, they still greatly delight owners.

Tesla recently started rolling out a holiday update that adds many exciting and highly anticipated features to the car's infotainment system, including TikTok, Light Show, Sonic the Hedgehog, Waypoints, and more to keep owners happy. However, this update was only available for Model 3, Model Y, 2021 Model S and 2021 Model X, while the legacy Model S and X did not receive the update.

Now Tesla has begun rolling out the holiday update among the legacy Models S and X, which made owners very happy. The update included some highly anticipated features, although some, like Blind Spot Camera, weren't possible for them. Waypoints have been expected for a long time, as the feature is extremely useful when planning routes with multiple stops. Owners can immediately mark all the places they plan to visit, and the car will calculate the route in such a way as to take the owners to all destinations without unnecessary burdens—and all this taking into account charging stops. This way, owners can completely relax and enjoy the trip to the fullest.

A number of entertainment features have also been added. TikTok can now be found at Tesla Theater so that app lovers can enjoy video clips right in their car when their car is parked.

Among the features they received are the following:
