Tesla cloud profiles allow you to keep your settings across multiple cars
Tesla software update 2022.24.5 is rolling out, and it comes with a new feature called Tesla Profiles, allowing users to keep their settings in the cloud.
The feature was long in the making. It was promised by CEO Elon Musk in Nov. 2021, and first seen this July, but now it's actually being delivered widely, Electrek reported Tuesday.
Tesla Profiles allow users to keep their settings in the cloud and have them activate across multiple cars. Per Tesla's release notes, these settings include seat, mirror, and steering wheel adjustments, Autopilot, driving and climate control preferences, and navigation, media, and data sharing preferences.

This means that you'll be able to rent a Tesla and have it automatically adjust to your preferences. And if you change a setting in one car, it will be carried over to other cars you own or use.
Tesla Profiles are set up from the Driver Profile settings, and you can change your profile picture from the Tesla mobile app.
Other new features in this update include the ability to adjust the placement of your blind spot camera view on the display, as well as the possibility of disabling sounds in Sentry mode (while keeping mobile app notifications on).
Another interesting new feature is the ability to uninstall games from your car's computer. Tesla comes with a selection of pre-installed games, and by uninstalling them you can free the storage space in your Tesla's computer. Musk recently promised that Steam games are coming to Tesla cars, and this new feature could be a precursor for that update.
