Do you trust over-the-air software updates to make your car safer to drive?

Chinese EV maker Tank has begun its OTA Evolution Month, rolling out over-the-air software updates in batches across several models, including the 2025 Tank 300 and 2025 Tank 500 Hi4-Z and the all-new Tank 400, Tank 500, and Tank 700. The updates focus on assisted driving, vehicle control, and the smart cockpit, with rollout timing varying by model.

Why it matters

Owners of these Tank models can receive new driving-assist and infotainment features without visiting a dealership, which can extend the practical usefulness of the vehicle after purchase. Because rollout is batched by model, owners may not all receive the same update on the same day.

Tank's OTA Evolution Month started on November 2, with batched updates for the 2025 Tank 300, 2025 Tank 500 Hi4-Z, and the new Tank 400, Tank 500, and Tank 700. Rollout timing will vary by model, and no comparator figures were reported.

The players

Tank

Chinese automaker whose sport-utility lineup includes the Tank 300, Tank 500, Tank 400, and Tank 700 models covered by this update.

The details

Select models now support three-point turns under NOA, a navigation-assist system that executes multi-step steering to handle narrow roads or obstacles. If space runs out during a three-point turn, the system brakes and prompts the driver to take over. The update also adds a roaming parking feature that autonomously searches for a spot in unmapped lots, an automatic emergency steering assist that steers the vehicle into a safe adjacent lane, and agile steering on select models that tightens the turning radius.

The Home Front

Over-the-air software updates are becoming a routine way for electric vehicle makers to add features after sale, shifting some ownership value from the dealer visit to the vehicle's software. For households comparing EVs, the update schedule and model-by-model rollout are now part of the ownership picture alongside charging and maintenance costs.

If you own a 2025 Tank 300, 2025 Tank 500 Hi4-Z, or one of the all-new Tank 400, Tank 500, or Tank 700, check your vehicle's software status in the app or with your dealer to see when your batch is scheduled. Plan a charging or parking routine around the update, since the new parking and steering features are designed to work in specific conditions.

The takeaway

Over-the-air updates can change what an electric vehicle does after you buy it, so check whether your model is in a batch and note the date you received the update. If a three-point turn or emergency steering feature matters to your driving, confirm with your dealer that your specific model supports it.
