Watchla has transitioned to Bluetooth-only vehicle communication. + minor bug fixes & changes

Watchla has transitioned to Bluetooth-only vehicle communication.

Added new alternate home view and overhauled the main screen in the watch app. Available for subscribed users now and legacy users soon. Due to higher than expected Tesla API costs we have transitioned to a subscription based model in order to enable Watchla to be sustainable. All subscriptions offer a free trial period. At this time, legacy users (those that purchased Watchla as a one-time purchase to download) will continue to have access to Watchla without a subscription. Also: fixed a critical bug where in v4.3 some legacy users were misidentified.

Watchla will now prioritize preserving sleep status for Legacy Model S & X vehicles during background complication & widget updates

We are happy to report that as a result of significant data streaming upgrades, going forward, Watchla will not wake your vehicle unless necessary or initiated by you. This will allow your vehicle to sleep when it needs to while still displaying the most relevant and important data about your vehicle. This update also includes significant infrastructure changes that make Watchla better and more closely align with Tesla's new developer infrastructure. We also fixed a bug that was introduced in the last update they may cause commands to execute more slowly in certain circumstances. You should see wicked fast command execution when in Bluetooth range (Bluetooth compatibility required). Enjoy! :)

Watchla can now: - Send Siri Shortcut commands over Bluetooth - Receive vehicle data over Bluetooth When the Watchla Apple Watch app is nearby your vehicle, it will exclusively use Bluetooth. This makes retrieving vehicle data significantly faster and eliminates reliance on internet connectivity to near 0 when near the vehicle, providing for a great offline watch experience. This is the second part in our multi-part V4 update. More to come :) PS: in case you missed our last update, you can also now send all commands over Bluetooth from the watch app.

Significant Bluetooth update: All commands can now be sent via Bluetooth Additionally: - Upgraded Watch Key - Significantly expanded & improved offline watch experience - Improved Watch Key setup - Improved Bluetooth connection reliability & start-up times - Improved Bluetooth error handling Last but not least, the following vehicle data can now be instantly retrieved over Bluetooth: - lock state - sleep state - door closure state - charge port closure state - trunk state - frunk state And going further, Watchla can now infer many other states after Bluetooth command execution. More to come, very soon!

- Overhauled vehicle image sourcing - Widget/complication changes - Fixed a bug related to the Open Left Front Door and Open Right Front Door complications

- Upgrades to complications, widgets and background updates. This update builds on the infrastructure upgrades that were implemented in the last update. - Vehicle image changes - Minor bug fixes, efficiency changes and API related changes

- Significant infrastructure upgrades to support Watchla communicating with the vehicle directly. We are applying these changes first to complications, widgets and background updates. More to come :)
