Dec 2023 App Has Major Issues

Update to review. I’m reading from 2 to 4 stars. It’s working again fairly consistently. Still some random login requests after you are already logged in. Original review: Spent the $20 for the full app, the key doesn’t work. I’ve reached out to tech support several weeks ago, no response. I have the Ultra first gen watch, it will unlock the car, sometimes, but more than once I’ve been standing at the car for over 5 minutes trying to get the app to unlock the car. Extremely frustrating standing at the side of the car and it won’t unlock. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but as of early December 2023, this as doesn’t work well enough to buy it. My car goes through the pairing process, but something isn’t work, as it never allows me to use my watch as the key to actually drive the vehicle. I’ve had the app open on my watch as I walk up to the car, it only unlocks if you hit the button on the watch, it doesn’t unlock like the app on the phone does, and certainly not automatically. I wish this would work, this is a great solution for working out in the gym, and not wanting to bring everything in the gym, or going for a jog, etc. total bummer this doesn’t work, and I hate writing bad reviews, but hopefully it saves someone else from wasting their money.

Cellular Support Missing?

This app is great and adds lots of features needed. The official Tesla app should do all this but at least someone stepped up. Problem is this completely requires your phone nearby to work. While typically not a problem there are times I can’t take my phone with me for whatever reason. So if I put my phone into airplane mode and lock it in the car I can’t use the watch app to unlock the car to get back in even though I have a cellular watch with active subscription. This seemingly small detail is a pretty significant oversight. Even if something happened and my phone was lost, stollen or just had the battery die. The watch app should be able to work on it’s own.

Adds more remote accessibility than noted

I don’t rate apps… This app can be what Tesla uses to see what people would want to see on the actual Tesla app. It’s not just an app for your watch. It’s an actual app on your phone that has configurations that’s not on the free app. A TON of features. I allows “Siri Shortcuts” to control your car with Siri. Edit those shortcuts. I can say “hey Siri, raise the roof” and the doors will unlock from any location. Essentially I could be in Belize partying and my doors unlock back in the states. U can also set it up so when the doors unlock it automatically places it into remote driving. If you have an Apple Watch with cellular data you can use it by itself to get in and go with a personal phrase like “would you look at the time.” Note. Not recommend to leave your key behind but 🤌🏿 camonnn🤌🏿 Remote driving is only good if you start driving within a min or two. At this you can be as witty or professional or presidential as you want. Suddenly and frantically run to your Tesla dragging partner by the wrist say “hey siri, I need my gun” trunk/frunk opens. If timed correctly, proceed to take out box of chocolates or engagement ring and people you’ll have a Valentine’s Day to tell your step kids about or not. It’s up to you. 🤧

Works well but needs more short cuts and perhaps better documentation.

I downloaded the app to you specifically on my watch which I find very useful. I needed a few issues that I’m not certain about. I don’t need to be worried about phantom drain if I’m not having updates constantly but I’m not sure what some of the settings mean. I’m a senior former programmer but my memory is not as good as it used to be. I do like the idea of being able to use home link from the app on my phone but I would like to be able to use it in a shortcut so I can call it either from my watch or from my phone. The only other question I have is in your statement were you describe your shortcuts you say that if we want more shortcuts we should contact you or notify you. How do we do that? I am working with a beta for this app which included shortcuts that I wanted to have it was sent to me within 24 hours of my request. The service provider was excellent. I increase the score of my review. I have been using this app for at least a year. I find it phenomenal. I love being able to use my watch to open my trunk and close the windows or vent the windows etc. Makes life a lot easier.

Love this App!! Worth It! The voice command with Siri works!!!

It’s very easy to install this app. When I installed it on my iPhone, it’s automatically installed on my iWatch 6.0. I login to my Tesla account on my iPhone and it synchronized to my iWatch automatically. To activate the remote control, I only need to put the Tesla account password on my iWatch and iPhone once. Now I can unlock my car with my watch. When I go to the garage I forget to bring my phone sometimes and I couldn’t unlock the door. I had to go back in the house to grab my phone. I don’t have to do that anymore as long as I have my watch on me. I love this!! The price of this App is very reasonable compared to Stats for $50. This App is definitely worth it!! To use Siri on both my iPhone and iWatch, it’s very simple!! I only need to go to open this App from my iPhone > settings and select Siri Shortcuts then select “Add to Siri” for the commands I want that are listed. I can customize the Siri command instead of using the default.

Great app but the developer is going to a subscription based plan going forward.

Great app but the developer is going to subscription based plan going forward… Where is that going to leave everybody that paid ($10) for the app to begin with. The reason behind it is that Tesla is now is opening their API formally to developers. In the past developers had to reverse engineer the Tesla API. Going forward for the developers to use the new API, they will have to use the new official Tesla API and have to subscribe and pay for it, which makes sense as they sell their apps and make money from it. My suggestion would be that people that paid for the app like myself should be able to get at least the amount of features that we have already at this point without having to subscribe… making a subscription going forward for new users of the app… I know it seems easier for developer to just charge everybody so they can make more money but it’s not fair and I really hope that his developer does the right thing…

Worth the price, 95% perfect

I used to use the Tesla app and Tesla Remote in tandem. It was clunky, awkward and they never seemed to update correctly. I hated how slow Tesla Remote and the official app was to connect. It would take forever sometimes. Not to mention the UI of Tesla Remote was truly horrific. Zero labels, all icons, impossible to navigate. This app is amazing. The watch app is responsive, it updates its info as often as you want, and the UI is clean and simple. It’s not perfect, but so much better. Now I use this primarily with the official app for updating my car. A few things I would like to see: 1. Have an option for labeled icons on the iPhone app / Watch app. Some icons are not super obvious, no clue what the lightning bolt next to the temp is. 2. Let me change the temp to Fahrenheit. Sorry, I’m a dumb American. Celsius is cool, but I have to mentally convert it when I glance. If I can change it, it’s not clear how I can do so. 3. Make the settings easier to understand and work with. I’d just like to see better use of the iPhone’s screen to really understand what I’m changing. Possibly some tips when I hit the title of each toggle? Especially the advanced options. 4. Have the phone and watch sync their settings. Not really important, but would be nice. Love the app, hope to see some cool updates soon!

Open frunk by talking to Apple Watch!

After finally breaking down and getting an Apple Watch, I began to wonder if I could use my watch with a voice command to open my Model 3 frunk, so I wouldn’t have to pull my iPhone out of my pocket, tap on the Tesla app, tap the frunk button, then tap “Yes.” My research led me to this Watch for Tesla app, and I’m thrilled with the result! The hardest part about setting up was enabling iPhone shortcuts, which is an iOS issue, not an issue with this app. I also had to change the shortcut name to “Open Front Trunk” because when I said “open frunk,” the watch kept asking which contact named Frank would I like to open! Software developer Kim Hansen replies to email questions extremely quickly, and says a shortcut for turning on heated seats is under development. I highly recommend this app. What a great price too!

Worked fine until it didn’t

This watch appear worked 80% of the time for the first 1.5 years. Now it doesn’t connect to my Tesla at all. Just stopped working one day. Decided to retire, I guess. I tried reconnecting, re-installing…app appears to be most up to date. The thing is that it never worked reliably enough that I could feel comfortable leaving my phone and keycard behind. So while it is an awesome idea and the number of functions it offers is truly impressive, and I really like the design visually, it has always been sort of a game and never a true tool that added functionality to my life. Still, props to the designer and I hope he can continue to work out the kinks. (PS anything more than $1/month subscription fee is asking too much. Our society is over-saturated with subscriptions and there is too much competition out there to charge more)

Love It!

I bought this app for 2 reasons: 1) I can use my watch as a stand alone Bluetooth key! If my phone is dead or I just want to leave it behind, it's no big deal. Just be sure to pair your watch using the app on the watch, not the companion app on the iPhone (although you can pair that one separately if you want to use the feature I'm going to list next). 2) I can "pop" individual doors open, not just the driver door like other apps. Need to give someone access to the passenger side back seat maybe their hands are full)? No problem, just pop the door open using your watch app! Those 2 features alone are worth the $20 price tag. Just remember, the watch app must be running and in the foreground to use these features.

I bought the app but have not been able to login despite multiple attempts. Essentially useless so far. Will change review and update rating if I can get any sort of support, which seems nonexistent at this point. [Update] I received a response from the developer who sounded quite upset and pointed out that I could try the Twitter account link and “maybe someone will be more willing to help you”. However, he did not offer any help himself or any troubleshooting ideas, just a short rant... App still does not work. Maybe he will read this update and offer some actual help or refund. Will post another update if I hear back from developer. [Update 2] Please note that I posted my review after trying the “support channels” mentioned be developer. I am clearly not the only person experiencing thus issue. I tried all suggestions I could find on the “issue tracker”, line rebooting the watch. So far, nothing worked. An “issue tracker” is not the same as support from the developer or the team. How can I contact someone directly? I read the positive reviews and believe this would be a great app, if I could log in! I hope that this time, instead of complaining about an honest negative review, the developer provides me with a solution. At this point I am not really interested in a refund. I would prefer to have a functional app.

Another toy but having fun

This app shows everything you need to know BUT my charged miles are off by about 18 miles from all of of everything else it shows less than I have according to the tesla App and the cars display hope it fixes itself maybe with a app update just have to wait and see. Checked to see if something is turned off in setup but I don’t see anything that would not allow it to send the right signal

Great app, works very well!

I learned about this app online and got it for my watch the day I got my model 3. I like the convenience of not having to pull my phone out to check the Tesla app for things like checking the charging status, venting my windows or unlocking my car for others if I'm not close by. I've been very happy with it. I like how I was able to add a short cut on my watch face to quickly access it. The icon is a circle with the charge percentage number in the center which you can set to update at different time intervals. The controls order on the watch updated so now you get 2 rows.👍🏽

Good functionality but buggy

A big use case for me is turning the climate on as I’m getting ready to leave so the car is prepped when I get there. In older versions you could click on the climate icon in the watch and in the background it would wake up the car and enable climate just as if you had used the tesla app. Newer versions lost this, if you lower your wrist after sending a command the app closes and never sends the command. You have to hold your arm up and wait the 15-30 seconds for the car to wake up and do the operation. This all applies to another common use case: you’re coming out of a store and want to open the gate while walking to the car. Not a huge deal but it also stopped working unless you hold the watch up and stare at it for however long it takes to make the api call to the car via the 300 baud att cellular network they use. The tesla app itself ironically got this right recently: now I just open it and click on climate and it queues the request even if I put the phone down. It was great on the watch, hoping they read their GitHub bug reports at some point and fix this.

Only works sporadically w Apple Watch

This app would be great if it worked seamlessly with Apple Watch. Unfortunately, it only works 1 time out of 5. I got it primarily for hands-free opening of the trunk which rarely ever works. I’ve read that if you always are refreshing the app on the phone and keep it open then it works better but even when I’ve done that it barely works half the time. And frankly, if you’ve got to keep going into the app it’s just as simple to go into the actual Tesla app. So if you’re into constantly managing the app so it works when you want it to then this is for you but if you’re just looking for a convenient way to add some hands-free functionality to your Tesla then it’s just not worth it.

Cool app

The app is very cool. No doubt. If you face with any issue then make sure your iPhone and Apple watch are on the latest OS version. BTW I Saw the silly review below from Herlen, I really do not understand weird people who can not even ask help from a proper channel but drive tesla. How come you lower the average rating of this app? You are misleading people by being cheap. For sure you would not prefer a refund for the app as there is no other app in the market which does the job. You better return your Tesla and tell them that you don't deserve it. I wish Apple’s review policy was allowing me to use the words you deserve.

Love the App

Im glad I purchased this app. It’s very nice; it’s packed with a lot of features. It will be nice to have set charging limits automatically by location. Which is very helpful That way I don’t have to change my charging limit every time I get to my charging location, for example, I charge up to 90% at my job but when I get home I charge to only to 50% So if there is an option that change it automatically when when you get from point A to point B I think that will be awesome to have Thanks very much

Has many issues

I purchased this app a while back and at that point it worked fine but as of 2024 I’m having issues because I have multiple Teslas and I can’t select the vehicle I want. it shows up with the first vehicle and I can see the second vehicle, but I can’t select the second vehicle, plus th me vehicle picture is wrong or non existent. I wish I could only select to see the one vehicle rather than seeing all. As of right now I can no longer use my second vehicle with the app because of lack of being able to select it without an image which in return makes this app useless to me. I have since removed it and no longer use it

Gotten worse

This used to be a great App with excellent tech support. Now everything had gone down hill. The commands sent by the watch is VERY UNRELIABLE. For example, I have the “open frunk” added to the face of the watch. When I tap on that, sometimes the app asks for confirmation. When I confirm to open, it does nothing. Well… it is fine if it did nothing. An hour later when I go out to the car, I see the frunk is open (once in pouring rain). Another time I issued the command to open the trunk using the watch app with the same results. It is scary. Someone could steal the contents if this app is opening the frunk/trunk randomly like this. I sent emails to Kim with no response. I prefer safety over convenience. I no longer recommend this app.

Great app and EXCELLENT support!

This is a fantastic app! Was discouraged at first because it wouldn’t accept my login credentials. I reached out to the developer on Twitter and she got back to me very quickly with details on how to use the token method of login. Took me a while but finally all worked out and the App is great. So glad not to have to remember to take my phone with me to the garage to unlock MY as required now until I get an updated software version from Tesla that allows me to exclude my home from the Lock when exiting function! Great app and great developer support.

Plug-in reminder to soon

I really do love this app. I like that you can use the app as a key. I like the plugin reminder feature as well, except it happens before I can get out of the car. When I arrive home, I wait for the garage door to open, I pull into the garage and before I can put my car in park I get the plug I get the plugin reminder. I would prefer to get a reminder 5 minutes after I park if I forget to plugin. I’m debating whether or not to just turn it off. As it is now, it’s annoying.

Downloaded a while ago but doesn’t show up

Updated Issue was user error. Apple support was able to fix and developer responded very quickly and explained it needed to installed from the watch. App shows up on watch and works great! 5 stars. I purchased this app when it was first released. The App Store shows purchased but it never showed up on my home screen. I can’t delete and reinstall or even repurchase. Would love to use it. Also no easy way to contact developer which is why I’m leaving comment. Hoping for some help.

Missing Listed Features

Update: Developer reached out within a day with instructions on how to activate keyless driving. Great response. He is also working through the location issue. Super happy and endorse the app. Especially at this price. *****. Original Review: The main reason I purchased the app was to use keyless drive. However, that feature option, as well as location, do not appear “Show Controls” as displayed in the examples above. It’s a slick app that works otherwise, but has minimal utility without the keyless function.

Love the widget, complications, and Siri Shortcuts!

This app has been great! Works well from the iPhone and from Apple Watch. I mainly got this app for the compatibility with Siri Shortcuts, widgets, and watch complications (where you can even make some specific actions as the complication). The developer is extremely responsive, open to new suggestions, and seems to truly want to make his customers happy. I’ve tried a few other apps, and this one fits my needs well. Thanks for a great app and your continued work to make it better all the time!

Most convenient watch app!!!

I downloaded this app while it was in its infancy. It has continuously gotten better and more convenient. I LOVE how I can add controls to my watch face and have the most important features available to me immediately. I use the Siri Shortcuts and it works perfectly. I just traded my 2020 for a 2022 model and I didn’t have to do anything to update the watch app. It switches seamlessly with the Tesla app. This is definitely a must have for Tesla owners. I highly recommend it!!

Fantastic App

We just got our new Tesla 3. I was looking forward to having a watch app that would allow me to control the car without my iPhone. This is a fantastic app. It works exactly as advertised. Today I turned off my iPhone and was able to control the car with the watch app alone. The only change I would make is on the first screen, instead of allowing you to open the front trunk, I would put the rear trunk on the first page. I highly recommend this application.

Massive Battery Drain

I bought this app and installed it on my watch, Iphone, IPad and MacBookPro. Initially everything seemed to be fine. It worked as it should, although the process for reorganizing action icons is clunky and very slow to respond. But then, I noticed that the battery on my watch was draining very quickly - about 2 or 3 times the usual rate. The battery on my iPhone was also draining very fast - about 1.5 times the usual rate. The error logs in the app revealed that it was making multiple failed attempts to establish bluetooth connections, although it seemed to be working properly. I contacted the seller's tech support but have had no response after 3 days.

Best app for Runners that want to leave phone behind

I never leave a review but this app is worth writing one!! I am an avid runner and I run without my cell phone also my apple watch is not cellular. This is such an awesome app for $20 compared to all the other ridiculously over priced apps or accessories. I disable my phone Bluetooth and leave my phone in the car then go for my run and return with out any concern!! This app is awesome! Kuddos to the developer!

Nice app great developer support

Had app a few months now. Works, then doesn’t work with car updates etc. Recently app lost Bluetooth connection with watch. Developer constantly works to fix app once Tesla comes out with a software update that causes watch app to stop. Seems that if app stops working properly after software update, a fix will arrive shortly. Just need to be patient. Otherwise, great functionality.

Super app! Highly recommended

I have tried almost all the top level control app’s trying to find one that will let me control the key controls from my Watch. I can confidently recommend this app as the best app I have found for solid control of my Tesla ( a 2016 S 90D ) It combines a great interface with a full selection of the controls you use the most. The ability to tweak the UI is nice as most app’s don’t allow it. I am looking forward to using it and to future enhancements.

Disappointed

UI is nice. But unfortunately, most of the time it doesn’t work, car (Tesla y 2024) doesn’t respond, on watch, same and frequent the wrong thing happens, like “open trunk” actually open frunk… and so on. Also I have notice it probably negatively interfering with Tesla app as it becomes unresponsive sometimes and works perfectly if this app is removed. I usually never pay for app unless I try it, this one was the painful exception. I will not use now and check back in few month to see if developers improved it

What I've Been Waiting For!

Ever since I got my Tesla last year, I've been wanting to be able to go on drives without lugging my phone around. This app is exactly what I was looking for! I can pair my Apple Watch directly to my Tesla as a key and I can turn off background updates on all the apps (iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch) to save battery. REALLY cool to see my Tesla from my Mac and control it if I want to. So great that the API key is local only. Thank you!

Great App/Super support

This little app does everything you’d expect to control your Tesla (even multiple Teslas); easy and intuitive. Support from the developer is easily accessed and clear. There have been several updates over a few months, each adding functionality and ease of operation. Makes the Tesla a complete tech experience. The only real requirement is that both the Apple Watch and the car have connectivity (WiFi or cellular) for full function.

Great app with minor issues

I love the stock Tesla app but having this app for my watch is awesome. The only negative I’ve seen so far is it will not save the time intervals to wake the car nor will it save the start and stop awake time limits. **update** After dev response with the step I was missing I was able to set my times. Again, this app is amazing. Using my watch and/or Siri to lock the car, pop the trunk, etc has become very handy.

Plz auto refresh Lock Screen widget on iPhone

Just bought this app, as much as I appreciate all its features, I strongly request the developer (s) to find a way to auto refresh the Lock Screen widget info when you turn on iPhone. What’s the point of seeing info on it and it tells you it’s from over x hours ago? Specially when crucial info like current charging status is needed. Thank you for taking this into consideration.

Best app available for Tesla owners to have.

I love the lock/unlock feature for Apple Watch. I’m often going to my car with my phone in my back pocket and the car will not recognize and unlock. With the app I simply click the unlock option I’ve made a complication on watch. One of many features... don’t hesitate just get it. If that wasn’t enough in summer months I use the watch complication to start the AC or vent windows!

Tesla lover’s best watch app

Wow! Just Wow! If you love your Tesla & you're an Apple Watch person, you're going to LOVE this app. Best value of an app I've ever bought. Comes with both phone & watch apps, and both contain everything in Tesla's basic phone app but adds lots more. Especially Siri shortcut integration. Instantly see both your percentage & miles with a glance at the watch complication. Unlock your car without having your phone. So much more. WHAT A GREAT APP!!!

Open the Trunk

Installing the App too several attempts but I was able to eventually get it installed. I hope I am only billed for one download. I bought the app for one reason — Open the Trunk. I pull out my phone for one reason — Open the Trunk. With this app, I hope to Open the Trunk from my watch. Is there a way to make it so that opening the Trunk is a primary function instead of Open the Frunk? I have noticed if I leave Open the Trunk visible, it works. This is great! Is it possible to have Siri “Open the Trunk?” Update: After two years of owning a model 3, your feedback helped me to discover the way to manually open the trunk. I guess I have been too focused on having the app do everything. Is there a way to have Siri open the trunk so that I am able to open the trunk “hands free?”

Bluetooth sometimes doesn’t work

Bluetooth doesn’t always connect when I walk up to the car. I’m in a garage with no signal and need Bluetooth to open charge port etc. sometimes it doesn’t work. Also there are two controls for charge port. One is unlock the other is open. These should be combined to one button depending on the state of the charge part as the rep command buttons don’t always show the right one.

It Works!

Since I have a large iPhone, the last thing I want to do is carry around my iPhone when I have a perfectly capable watch that should be able to operate and run my Tesla. This app works perfectly with my Apple Watch. I can leave the phone home and act like I have my iPhone with me. Just need to set up the watch as a key and all of us with Apple Watches know, we need to reboot the watch now and then when it just refuses to call/do anything (not too often these days) and it works perfectly! Been using this app for quite a while now, figured it was time to say thanks because I’ve been using this a lot - successfully - without problems. Very happy user here. Highly recommend!

Well made app

I’ve used this application for some time with my Bluetooth Apple Watch SE. I think functionality would be best if you had the SIM card version if the watch. As my phone during work will have spotty connection issues due to hopping between wifi and data. Overall enjoying the app, the Siri commands make it even better.

It’s OK, buggy app

App is decent, for the most part works and has some features that the Tesla app really should offer natively. It’s also pretty buggy and has a very amateur feel to it. Have yet to find a way to really contact support and get some of these issues sorted out. The website is their “support” and it is very light, has a few FAQ and that’s it. Overall it’s a wash, not sure I’d buy it again but decent enough that I’m not going to go through the hassle of a return / refund.

I love the functionality

This is an awesome app. Although I have a few requests for additional Siri actions. I own a refreshed Model X. It would be awesome if I could open the drivers door, the passengers door, the rear driver door (Falcon Wing Door) or the rear passenger door (Falcon Wing Door) with my voice. Also it took me a while to figure out how to find the Siri shortcuts. Perhaps you could add the link to the app main page.

Awesome but be careful to not accidentally unlock your car

I use the watch face complication and multiple times I’ve accidentally clicked it while while living my day to day and then hit the big unlock button without realizing it. Hopefully the developer can add a prompt and a notification when the car is unlocked so you don’t leave it open by mistake. Awesome app otherwise, great job!

2 years ago, CubsWS2016

Eh it’s ok

Graphics, UX and UI of both the iPhone app and watch are non optimal. And yea technically you can use your Apple Watch and use it as a Bluetooth key to unlock your Tesla but I find I need to have the app up and running in the foreground for it to work but that extra step is not ideal for me. It’s a nice feature if you’re in an emergency or in a pinch but the extra step of loading the app is a buzz kill. I don’t know maybe I don’t have my settings configured correctly. Will keep my Tessie subscription because of the better graphics and UX/UI.

Screen

So, as of last week, my screen on the Apple watch went from showing my to now showing “Watch For Tesla” with this ========. How can I get my car to show back up on the watch? For whatever reason, when I position my wrist to look down at my watch, the pic of my car goes away and a sign that says “Watch For Tesla” shows up with “=========“.

Exactly what I wanted

Trying to open the fronk after shopping with your hands full was annoying using the Tesla phone app. Had to fish out your phone, open Tesla app and hit fronk and wait. With this app on my watch and a short cut on the watch screen. I just touch the symbol and boom, the fronk opens. Only that feature makes this app worth its while.

Great app

This app works well on my series 5 watch with LTE. No phone needed for it to work. I use it when I am in the water and have left my phone locked in the Tesla. Afterwards I can unlock the car and retrieve the phone. It works over cellular/WiFi so be sure you have good cell service (or WiFi) where you lock your car. Setup was easy. I used my Tesla account credentials. Great app and just what I wanted.

Convenience you need.

You can use it if you forget your phone. I use it daily to open the charging port and trunks. So much other functionality too but for a flat $20 fee, your watch becomes a key and controls your car. All the other subscription apps are gimmicky and don’t work as well.

Massive battery drain

It used to work great but something changed. I’m still able to use it as a key for my Tesla but I can’t remotely start the climate, unlock it, lock it, etc. More importantly it causes massive battery drain on my Apple Watch. Normally my watch burns through about 33% of its battery every 24 hours. With this app installed it burns through close to 50%. That means 30% of my power consumption is from this app alone.

Description

Convenience on the wrist - Watch app for Tesla is the ideal companion in day to day life with your Tesla vehicle. These are just a few of the day to day conveniences this app will help achieve: - Pair your watch as a proper vehicle key, just like your phone! Works under all conditions, including in underground parking garages or in the middle of a desert! - Forgot to plug in? Get a notification if vehicle is in a pre-configured location and not plugged in - all done directly on the watch, no external servers required, keeping your privacy! - Add the graphic corner complication to your watch face and enjoy the convenience of having easy access to state of charge, charging indicator, time remaining if charging, sentry mode active indicator and indicator if any windows, doors or trunks are open. All from one complication, that also will launch the app when tapped. - During and after charge, a panel will show how much energy was added. Convenient if you schedule your charge during the night - wake up each morning and easily check how much energy was added to the battery. - If you have multiple vehicles on your account, tap the vehicle name to quickly and easily switch between them. - You can queue up commands by tapping on buttons, then put your wrist down and the commands will execute in the background when the vehicle is successfully woken up. - When you tap the unlock vehicle button, the charge port will also unlock if a charging cable is attached. That's convenience right there! - Want to reduce phantom drain? Background updates can be configured to longer intervals between updates or to only update if car is already awake or can be disabled entirely for absolutely zero impact on phantom drain. - A warning panel will show up if any doors, windows or trunks are left open. Conveniently, you can tap the panel to close any open windows. - Need to access the frunk? Just do it from your wrist - no fiddling with your phone. - Sitting comfy in the couch, but just remembered you have a road-trip in the morning? Set the charge limit to 100% - or any value really - and start charging, right from the convenience of your wrist! - Leaving the office after a long hot day? Activate the HVAC when you're on your way, and enjoy a nice cool vehicle. - When charging, tap the time remaining label to switch to show time of expected completion - no more head calculus! - Need to run a quick errand, but you don't have your phone? Unlock your vehicle from your wrist, then activate remote start and off you go. Just please be mindful that this feature requires internet connectivity on both watch and vehicle - so don't drive into the desert and leave your vehicle, or you'll get stuck there! A note about security and privacy: This app uses the Tesla Fleet API for authentication. Your account credentials are never stored in the app, but are used only once to obtain an authentication token and refresh token directly from the Tesla Fleet API servers. Tokens will be revoked if you change your Tesla account password. As part of the Tesla Fleet API, it is required that parts of the authentication flow and vehicle commands execution pass through non-Tesla controlled infrastructure. In this case an in-flight encrypted ACCESS token with a lifespan of 8 hours will be transmitted and stored ONLY WHILE COMMAND IS EXECUTING. No logs og analytics are ever kept or performed on this traffic. The source code for this application will at all times be made available to any security researcher for a voluntary security and safety audit. Disclaimer: This app is not endorsed by Tesla Inc.
