Do you trust over-the-air software updates to make your car safer to drive?
Tank launched its OTA Evolution Month on November 2, rolling out over-the-air updates in batches for the 2025 Tank 300 and 2025 Tank 500 Hi4-Z, as well as the all-new Tank 400, Tank 500, and Tank 700. The updates focus on assisted driving, vehicle control, and the smart cockpit.
Why it matters
The updates add features to vehicles after purchase, expanding what existing owners can do with their cars through software rather than hardware changes. The rollout reflects the growing role of software in electric vehicle capabilities.
Tank's OTA Evolution Month began on November 2, with updates rolling out in batches for five named models, though no fleet size or comparator was disclosed. Specific rollout dates for individual models were not provided and will vary by model.
The players
Tank
Tank is a Chinese automotive brand whose vehicles, including the Tank 300, 400, 500, and 700, are sold in the Chinese market.
The details
Among the additions, a roaming parking feature autonomously searches for a spot in unmapped lots, and select models now support three-point turns under NOA, with the system braking and prompting the driver to take over if space runs out. Other changes include an automatic emergency steering assist that moves the vehicle into a safe adjacent lane, agile steering on select models that tightens the turning radius, and a car-wash mode that disables rain-sensing wipers, radar alerts, windows, and sunroof with one tap. Infotainment updates add the Cheyu media app, a native Bilibili app, and a mic-less karaoke feature.
Timeline
November 2: Tank's OTA Evolution Month begins with batched rollouts.
Roadmap
The update extends Tank's NOA system by adding multi-step steering for three-point turns and narrow-road navigation, pushing assisted driving beyond highway-focused functions. This places Tank's software strategy alongside other electric vehicle makers that are using over-the-air updates to add driving features after sale.
Owners of the listed Tank models may receive new assisted-driving and cockpit features through over-the-air updates, with timing varying by model. The update changes what drivers can do in parking lots and tight spaces without any hardware changes to the vehicle.
The takeaway
Software updates can change how an electric vehicle handles tight parking and assisted driving long after purchase. Owners should check their model's update status to see when new features reach their car.
