After seemingly skipping a public release of 2022.8 altogether, Tesla has started releasing 2022.8.2, which contains a number of new features.

As mentioned in the NHTSA recall notice, this version disables the Boombox feature while in Drive. Transport Canada has not issued the same recall, so Canadian owners will hopefully not see this feature disabled.

If you are in Canada and have received 2022.8.2, let us know if you are still able to use Boombox while driving.

UPDATE: Unfortunately Boombox while in Drive has been disabled in Canada.

According to update tracker Not A Tesla App, there is also one undocumented change to improve the responsiveness of the backup camera.

Charging Time Estimation.
Estimated charging times are now more accurate by taking the current battery pack temperature into account when a vehicle is connected to a Supercharger or a third-party fast charger.

Vehicle Preconditioning.
Vehicle preconditioning accessed via the Tesla app will now remain active up to 30 minutes after a door is opened, making it easier to load your vehicle without affecting climate control.

Active Phone Calls.
You can now hide your phone call card, allowing you to see the next turn when the navigation turn list is covered. Tap the phone icon on the status bar to show the card again.

New Language Support.
Your touchscreen is now available in Czech.

My Take: Thank you Elon for making my car a little bit better with each update.
