The November 1 rollout introduces a referral program for U.S. Full‑Self‑Driving users, broadens compatibility for HW3 Lite hardware, and adds a seasonal Halloween‑themed visual setting for supported models.
Tesla rolled out its November 1 software update with three notable features: a new referral incentive for U.S. Full‑Self‑Driving (FSD) subscribers, expanded support for the HW3 Lite hardware platform, and a limited‑time Halloween visual mode for eligible models.
Full‑Self‑Driving Referral Incentive
U.S. owners of the Full‑Self‑Driving package can now earn a $1,000 credit toward future Tesla services by referring a friend who also purchases FSD. The credit is applied automatically once the referred vehicle activates the FSD subscription, and it stacks with existing referral bonuses.
HW3 Lite Compatibility Expansion
The update widens the list of vehicles that can run the HW3 Lite computer, adding the Model Y Standard Range and the refreshed Model 3 rear‑wheel‑drive. Owners will see a notification prompting a simple over‑the‑air upgrade, after which the vehicle will unlock the latest driver‑assist features supported by the lite hardware.
Halloween Visual Mode
A seasonal visual theme—featuring orange‑tinted lighting, animated ghost icons on the touchscreen, and a spooky “Trick‑or‑Treat” animation on the rear‑view camera—appears for a limited time on Model S, Model X, and Model Y equipped with the latest infotainment system. The mode can be toggled in the “Display Settings” menu and will deactivate automatically after Halloween.
