This release is expected to include Track Mode for the Model S Plaid, but it has not yet appeared on any vehicles. In fact, the update has been sent to just 3 vehicles on the TeslaFi network.

Here are the full release notes for the Model Y, which contains all of the same features found in the 2021.44.25 holiday update.

Display: A track-focused interface includes a lap timer, G-meter (real-time accelerometer), vehicle thermals monitor, Dashcam video capture, vehicle telemetry capture and offers customization options.
