Tesla Caraoke removes rear screen support, adds mobile queue in 2026 update

Tesla's Summer 2026 update altered the Caraoke app by removing lyric display on the rear screen and adding a mobile-accessible song queue feature. While driving, lyrics appear only on the center screen without pitch visualizers or scoring, which are active only when parked. Rear passengers can now scan a QR code to select songs, build a shared queue, and follow lyrics on their mobile devices, freeing the rear screen for climate and other controls. This update enhances mobile interaction but reduces the convenience of direct lyric reading on the rear display.

• Rear screen no longer shows lyrics, only song title and artist
• Rear passengers use QR code to control queue and view lyrics on phones
