Tesla has released a new update to its mobile app with version 4.43.5, and early signs from a decompile of the app by Tesla App Updates on X suggest this isn’t just another round of bug fixes, but within the code are several future-facing features that could reshape how owners interact with their vehicles.
Early Access Program Enrollment Goes In-App
One of the most notable additions is the direct integration of the Early Access Program (EAP) enrollment. Until now, EAP participants, who help Tesla test unreleased software and provide valuable data, have enrolled through invite-only links or external processes. This program was first introduced many years ago, but was very difficult to get access to it, and appeared to have been abandoned in recent years.
But it looks like soon enrollment and unenrollment will be accessible directly through the mobile app.
Supercharger Queue System Arrives
Another long-awaited feature hidden in the app is the introduction of a Supercharger Queue system, designed to manage high-demand Supercharger stations more efficiently. New strings such as REQUEST_JOIN_SUPERCHARGER_QUEUE and REQUEST_MORE_TIME_IN_SUPERCHARGER_QUEUE show that drivers may soon be able to reserve or extend their charging slots directly from the app.
While this Supercharger queue system is not yet active in the app, it was first announced as coming in Q2 in response to a suggestion from Drive Tesla on X, so we could see it turned on as soon as next week.
Virtual queuing pilots starting in Q2 at select sites. Goal is a net customer experience improvement for the ~1% cases of a wait time. Wider rollout this year if feedback is positive. We also continue to expand the network 20%+ year-over-year, closely tracking site-level demand.

Full Self-Driving Subscription Transparency
Tesla is also adding a welcome feature to improve FSD purchase transparency. The app will now show the exact version of FSD you would receive before confirming a subscription, helping reduce surprises or confusion about which software version you will receive.
This is another feature we suggested Tesla implement last year. It is great to see the company actively listening to and implementing feedback!
Suggestion for @Tesla @Tesla_AI.

On the FSD subscription page, add a note that tells the user which version of FSD they will be receiving.
This would help clear up a lot of confusion, and avoid disappointment, if subscribing won’t get you the latest version. pic.twitter.com/d5jYQ784PR
More Robotaxi & Energy System Hints
The update continues to include references to Tesla’s future Robotaxi network, with additional strings relating to ride cleanliness feedback. These likely tie into preparing both the user interface and back-end systems for customer feedback once Robotaxis are on the road.
Home energy customers also get some new features, with alerts for sudden or gradual drops in solar system performance appearing in the code. These could help homeowners detect and address issues more proactively.
Version 4.43.5 has been de-compiled, and wow this was an un-expected big one: https://t.co/Jlql8piPXb
