Tesla software · 2026.32
September’s feature build, seen early in Germany: a picture-based wheel picker that changes your range estimate, your Apple Music library, a tracker-reported recall notice, and quiet changes like a seat-heater timer.
Short answer
2026.32 was September’s feature branch and reached German cars early. Visible changes: a picture-based Wheel Selection that also feeds the range estimate, an Apple Music library, and, according to the notes the trackers republish, an over-the-air remedy for an EU recall on Model 3 and Y. Undocumented: seat heaters that switch off after about 20 minutes, a browser ad blocker that is on by default, and a Powershare line under Additional Vehicle Information. An observed upgrade path is not a promise about your next version.
In our own words, grouped by what you will notice. The marks show where trackers reported a feature; a question mark means no source says.
The text dropdown becomes a grid of renders. Each wheel appears bare and with aero covers, so you pick exactly what is on the car.

Easy to miss Your choice feeds the Energy app’s range estimate: no aero covers means more drag.
A Library tab shows the songs, albums and playlists you saved in Apple Music, so you stop searching the whole catalogue for your own music.

The notes, as republished by two trackers, include the remedy for EU recall submission 2026_103555 on side-impact compliance (UNECE Regulation No. 135). We have not verified the primary recall document or applicability to your vehicle.
WhereTracker notice; check your vehicle-specific recall instructions
Easy to miss Follow your Tesla recall notice and VIN-specific instructions. A tracker listing cannot confirm that a recall is resolved.
Not in Tesla’s notes: seat heating may turn itself off after roughly 20 minutes to protect the elements. Tap it again and it comes back.
WhereUndocumented change
The car’s browser blocks ads by default; the AD icon turns it off. Reported to make browsing noticeably quicker on older Intel computers.

A new line shows whether your car supports Powershare, Tesla’s vehicle-to-home system. New Model 3, new Model Y and Cybertruck.

Easy to miss “Supported” does not mean the feature is switched on in your market.
Wheel Selection is not cosmetic: the Energy app uses the wheel and cover you pick.
About 20 minutes, then off. Not in the notes, and it surprised many owners this autumn.
Tracker notes mention a software remedy. They do not establish your vehicle’s recall status or service requirements.

Since 2026.32, seat heating may switch off after about 20 minutes to protect the elements. Tap it again to restart it.
Trackers reproduce a notice under this number about side-impact compliance. Primary applicability is unverified here; follow Tesla’s instructions for your VIN.
Summaries in our own words, not Tesla’s release notes. Features depend on model, hardware, market and software version; the notes in your car take precedence. Release dates are when public trackers first listed a build, and their country data are samples. Handlefree is independent and not affiliated with Tesla, Inc.
