That's not what the release notes said. They said that it would warn you if you were driving beyond the range of a known charger. Nothing about turn by turn guidance to the nearest charging station (unless you have navigation, of course).
Your caption from the release notes range assurance section actually says turn-by-turn guidance, does it not? Is there some other evidence I'm missing?
Without turn-by-turn guidance, running out of charge seems very possible which is not inline with Elon's claim on solving range anxiety. The hardware has to be capable because the range anxiety calculation is by necessity based on the route calculations. If has to lookup actual distance, temperature, elevation changes, and wind direction, then it certainly is already mapping out the route internally. So, it would be very un Tesla-ish to hold back this crucial information. Also contrary to Tesla's goal of helping advance electrification of transport.
