Tesla App v4.60 Adds Passkey Support, Wallet V2, and Powershare Upgrades

Tesla released version 4.60.0 of its mobile app on August 25, 2026, and while the official release notes are quiet, the code inside tells a more interesting story. Three undocumented changes stand out: passkey support for logging in without a password, a second-generation Tesla Wallet, and a set of Powershare updates aimed at vehicles that can send power back out.

None of these are fully switched on yet. They're the kind of groundwork Tesla usually lays a release or two before a feature actually appears, so consider this a preview of what's coming to your phone.

Passkey Support Is Coming to the Tesla App

Tesla is adding passkey support in an upcoming app update. Passkeys let your phone authenticate locally with a fingerprint sensor or Face ID and log you into apps or websites without typing a password at all. Instead of a shared secret, they use a private and public key pair, which makes them meaningfully more secure than a password that can be guessed or brute-forced.

The feature isn't active in 4.60.0, but new strings in the app point to it launching soon:

• passkey_eligible
• passkey_status
• passkeyEnrolled

Tesla lists this one as available worldwide and applicable to Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck. For anyone who has ever fumbled a login while standing next to a locked car in the rain, this is a small quality-of-life win worth waiting for.

Passkeys are a nice security upgrade, but they're only as good as your backup plan. Keep a key card in your wallet and a spare in the glovebox so a phone problem never becomes a "can't get in the car" problem.

Tesla Wallet V2

Tesla also appears to be rebuilding the wallet section of the app. Today the wallet holds your saved credit cards, Tesla credits, gift cards, and bank account details. There are no clues yet about exactly what the updated version will include, though it could store more items such as Tesla Key Cards or display your phone keys.

The new strings spotted in this update include:

• V2EmptyWalletMessage
• V2WalletCardDetails
• V2WalletSetAsDefaultButton

Like passkeys, Wallet V2 covers Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck. A "set as default" button suggests Tesla is at least tidying up how payment methods get picked at a Supercharger, which is a welcome fix if you've ever had a charging session bill the wrong card.

Powershare Improvements for V2H and V2L Vehicles

The most interesting change for accessory shoppers is a handful of Powershare updates, targeted at the new Model Y and Cybertruck. The Cybertruck already supports vehicle-to-home (V2H), and several other vehicles, including the new Model Y Premium models, support vehicle-to-load (V2L). This update looks like it brings improvements to Powershare for those supported vehicles.

There's an important capability difference worth knowing before you plan around it. The new Model Y L also supports V2H, but it appears to do so only at 2.4 kW with a Powerwall, while the Cybertruck can handle up to 11.5 kW. That's the gap between keeping a fridge, some lights, and your devices alive versus backing up a meaningful chunk of a house.

New Powershare-related strings in this update include:

• isVehiclePowersharingToPowerwall
• isVehiclePowershareV2HPWIdleStandby
• powershare_status_fault_discharge_limit_powerwall_description
• powershareIcon

The idle standby and discharge limit strings hint that Tesla is getting more granular about how your vehicle behaves while it's connected but not actively exporting power, plus clearer messaging when a discharge limit is hit. Better in-app status reporting is exactly what this feature has needed.

What Landed in the Releases Just Before This

If you skipped a couple of updates, 4.59.5 and 4.59.1 brought several changes worth knowing about:

• Pet Mode Live Activity on Android. The Dog Mode Live Activity that arrived on iOS in the 2025 Holiday Update is coming to Android, showing cabin temperature alongside an interior photo that refreshes every minute.
• Tesla Assist with photos. Tesla's AI assistant will soon accept photos and documents, so you can share a screenshot of the app or a photo of your car's screen when troubleshooting.
• Continued Tesla Assist conversations. Recent Assist conversations now appear in the Messages section alongside service and promo announcements. They disappear automatically after several hours, or you can swipe left to delete or press End in the Assist window.
• Set Arrival Energy. The Trip Planner now lets you set your target arrival energy when planning a trip from the app.

What This Means If You Own One of These Cars

The Powershare work is the piece that touches gear directly. If you have a Cybertruck or a V2L-capable Model Y, the outlets in your vehicle are only useful if you have the right cords and adapters on hand when the power goes out or the campsite has no hookups. A heavy-gauge extension cord, a properly rated adapter for the outlet you're using, and a place to stow it all are the difference between a feature on a spec sheet and a feature you actually use.

The passkey change is a good moment to audit your backup access, too. Phone keys are convenient right up until the phone dies, so a key card holder or a spare card kept somewhere sensible is cheap insurance. And with Arrival Energy now in the Trip Planner, road trips get easier to plan, which is a good reminder to check that your mobile connector, adapters, and charging cable bag are packed before the next long drive.

Tesla typically flips these features on over the following few app releases, so keep automatic updates enabled and check your app version if you're waiting on one of them.
