Tesla has started an early release of its latest software update, 2020.20, and included some nice media-related updates for Tesla owners.
Fallout Shelter
Probably the biggest part of the update so far is the addition of a new game to the newly redesigned Toybox. Fallout Shelter, which we learned last year near the release of Cuphead was eventually coming to Tesla vehicles, is a popular mobile simulation video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios.

To play Fallout Shelter, tap Entertainment from the Application Launcher, then Arcade > Fallout Shelter.

TRAX Improvements
We have added a piano roll view that allows you to edit and fine tune notes in a track. You can now tap in view to create a note, move or resize it by dragging the tail end of a note, and delete it with a long press. To play a note sound, simply hold and move…
