What’s this icon for? The rectangle with the letter “A” in it

I'm not 100% sure but I read that anytime someone accesses the vehicles location from the app it will now display a warning on the screen in the case. I haven't see it yet but my guess is that "A" is for App and someone is accessing your vehicles location from an app like from an iPhone or Android device w/the Tesla app installed.

Now that you mention it, that looks more like an arrow from a navigation/location. I think that looks like a small smart phone rectangle w/a Location icon in the middle. Either way, still supports my response above. I still believe that's what this is.

No problem. I had remembered seeing it in there. I look through there periodically, since Tesla updates it without saying much of anything, so even if you looked online, if you went to a saved link, maybe it was an older version that didnt have it.

When this first appeared i read about it and was puzzled why it came on every so often when i drove the car.
In the beginning i thought it was my wife checking to see when i would be home, but some of the times it did it, she was in the car with me.
Found out, the Tesla integration in Home Assistant actually "pings" the car and this is seem by the car as an access of the GPS location (Which it offcourse is in practice..)

It means the wife is pinging the car to see where you are because when you get home . . . "we need to talk"

I was so proud of myself downloading the manual to all our devices so I could just look things up while in the car (back then I didn't have data on my phone, I do now, another expense I had to add thanks to owning a tesla.) Then I learned that all that time spent reading the manual before getting the car was practically wasted. The obscure stuff that I barely remember has changed over the past 3 years.

Here if "we" are going to talk, it's really mostly my wife doing the talking and me thinking that she is insane.
