Tesla adds active noise reduction tech to Model S and X

Tesla has upped the cabin refinement stages of its most recent Product S and Product X in its most recent software package update, which activates an in-vehicle noise reduction technique.

The most new about-the-air update, which also introduces a selection of other comfort options, provides a new ‘Active Road Sound Reduction’ attribute.

The technique has been given combined critiques so considerably from Tesla proprietors on the web, which may replicate why Tesla has referred to as it noise “reduction” alternatively than noise-cancelling. The attribute is by now found in a range of competitor autos from other models.

It seems that the noise reduction attribute is also only offered on the incredibly most recent, refreshed Product S and X, which had been uncovered before this year. Neither vehicle has achieved British isles buyers yet, so assume the attribute to be current when they do.

Further options introduced in the update (codenamed 2021.44.five) incorporate the means to preset driver profiles in the car’s navigation technique, set the vehicle to unlock only the driver’s doorway on strategy, and regulate the rear climate control from the front touchscreen. Current autos are also explained to have the means to report uneven tyre

Also additional, though in early ‘Beta’ examination status, is a attribute that synchronises a driver’s choices including seat, mirror and steering wheel positions, and will allow them to be applied in yet another Tesla owned by the very same driver profile.
