Tesla has begun rolling out the new OS 6.0 software update to vehicle owners. Model S drivers have gained a number of new features, including a new Calendar app for in-car use, and several improvements to the Maps/Navigation software. 

Tesla V6 software upload coming soon. Need to make sure it is “awesome” – Lord Business

The new goodie that everyone’s talking about is the ability to unlock and start the Model S using an iPhone. Forgot your key fob? Just use your phone. In fact, you might even choose to leave the key fob at home (and possibly your watch, wallet and camera too – just don’t lose your phone). 

 Electrek reports that an Android version is expected to be available in a month or so.
