NO subscription fees! No command limits. View stats about the car's battery health, trips, charging, and add Siri, Shortcuts, Widget & Watch support to your Tesla vehicle Add Apple Watch & Siri/Shortcut support to your Tesla vehicle - Very reliable Siri & Shortcuts support that works even if the car is asleep. Control and get your car stats on the watch or phone without opening the app. You can combine/schedule/automate commands based on triggers/conditions such as when you're driving, if your charging cable isn't plugged in, when you're sleeping, when you're about to go to work, when you're connected to certain Bluetooth or WiFi connections, when you tap a NFC tag, when your alarm goes off, or a certain time each day. Add Shortcuts as icons on your home screen or widgets for quick access to your car's stats or to control it. - Fully functional Apple Watch app with vehicle stats complications - Opens, connects, and issues commands faster than other Tesla apps - Queued commands. You can close the app after issuing a few commands even if your car is asleep and it'll still do them. - View your battery stats such as the current/total usable kWh of your car compared to the stated capacity, how much phantom drain your car currently has, and a history of your car's range vs its odometer/time. - Display battery/power usage even when not charging - No phantom drain or background usage. This app doesn't use your car's batteries when the app isn't in use. - See the total miles/kWh added from the last charge session - Estimated range is displayed (this estimates your battery range based on your past 30 miles of usage) - Consolidated stats and commands into one screen for quicker access to information. View all three ranges (estimated, rated, ideal/typical, odometer) at the same time and up to the nearest 1/100th mi/km - See and copy the raw vehicle data returned by Tesla's API servers - 3D Touch menu for quick commands from the Home Screen - Use HomeLink or Summon your car when not near it and without continuous press needed (autopilot required). Activate keyless start prior to Summon to avoid needing a keyfob nearby. - Avoid idle fees from Tesla by setting an in-app alarm that alerts you when charging reaches a certain kW or % level - Camp/Dog Mode allows you to keep the HVAC on in the car even though there is no activity. Normally, the car will turn off HVAC after 30 minutes. - View how many range miles are being used per hour - Use the remotes:// URL schema with parameters to issues commands - Max cool and Max heat buttons to quickly send multiple commands to your car to optimize cooling and heating - No-Commands Mode lets you log in the app for your family/friends to monitor your Tesla's location without allowing them to control to your car - Breadcrumb tracking allows you to see the path that the car has recently taken - Trip statistics shows your current MPGe, kWh used, miles traveled, kWh per 100 miles, cost savings vs. an internal combustion engine car, cost savings over the car's lifetime, and many more fun stats - Save trip routes to different save slots and compare the distance, kWh used, cost, and more for each route - In-app browser can detect commands from javascript so that you can create scheduled, queued or repeated commands - Ability to change passenger and driver temperature separately Privacy/Security notice: This app only communicates directly to Tesla's servers when sending login credentials and commands.

Wish it would work on untethered Apple Watch Series 3 LTE
05/27/2018

This app may not have the best user interface, but it functions well on my Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE, and on my iPhone X. However, the app does not work on my Apple Watch when the watch is using LTE, without the iPhone nearby. It would be nice if the app would work on the Apple Watch using LTE for the times when I don’t have my iPhone with me (e.g. at the gym). Presently, if I launch the app on my Apple Watch while on LTE, the app UI looks like it is connected to my car because it shows charge percentage, HVAC settings, etc. But it really isn’t connected and any attempts to perform a function (e.g. turn on HVAC, honk horn, etc) are not carried out by the app. It would be better if the app displayed a message that it is not connected rather than appear that it is connected. I hope in the future the developer will add the ability to use the Apple Watch LTE when untethered from an iPhone, but for now it is a solid app on the Apple Watch if your iPhone is close by.

Remote S on the Apple Watch does show when the app is connected or not. If you look at the first screen, it tells you the time of the last updated data. If that time doesn't match with your current time, then it's not connected yet.Remote S is also coded to work untethered. Some users have reported that being on LTE is a bit slower to connect with Tesla's servers, so try to give it a bit more time to connect. Try connecting to a WiFi network on your watch with the iPhone turned off to confirm that your watch is capable of communicating with your vehicle without the iPhone. If that works and LTE does not, try restarting your Apple Watch device or trying another cell tower.

Update: User error. The app is actually great

Update:I stand corrected. I was simply wrong. After playing more with the Apple Watch app it does do everything I was hoping it would do. It is indispensable now and perfect. I can control nearly every function of my tesla from my watch so it saves a lot of time. No complaints. Previous update: Developer responded. Unfortunately upon pressing on the screen I am still not able to see more than 4 options per screen on my watch and of those only the first 4 options in the first screen are related to controls for things like charging. This makes it hard to add value as I need to pull my phone for nearly everything. Putting 2 stars. Also requested access to the developer forum so that I can bring concerns but still have not been granted access. If I get it and can get this resolved I will be happy to upgrade the stars. Want more features for your phone then great. Want more features for your Apple Watch then forget it. You get fewer than almost any other app. I purchased one for 2.99 that I have defaulted back to as this one does not even open up the charging port. Essentially it only has 4 controls.

Press harder on each screen to bring up more commands. There’s 6 different screens so you should see over 30 available commands in the Apple Watch app. Opening the charge port is one of the available commands.

Great with Apple Shortcuts app

This app does what you would expect from the official Tesla app.It provides support for the Apple Watch, which may not sound that exciting, however this combined with support for the Apple Shortcuts app means that you can write some useful shortcuts and then run them with Siri.For example, you can write shortcuts like:“Hey Siri, open my trunk”. Think of having your hands full in the parking lot and trying to open the trunk. Or…“Hey Siri, set charge limit to 80 percent”. Or to 100 percent for that big trip later. Better tell Siri now while you’re thinking about it. “Hey Siri, is my car locked”?“Hey Siri, lock my car”For the shortcuts to run, you will need to wait for the Tesla to wake up, if it isn’t already, so don’t expect to get to your car and ask Siri to open trunk and it will immediately occur. Instead do it as you are walking to the car. Or just run another shortcut to wake up your Tesla a short time before. Like “Hey Siri, what’s the temperature in my car”. These shortcuts are not included with this app, but writing your own is not that difficult if you’re into this kind of thing. If you had problems with this in the past, get Version 4.7.4 and try again.

Helpful app

It is a useful app. Compared to the design of the official Tesla app, which has several pages, this app puts everything on a single page. There are pros and cons to this (while things are readily accessible information end up quite small and a bit cluttered). But there is one feature alone that justifies this app in my view. This app calculates energy usage over the last 30 miles in order to predict range on current charge. My ‘real world’ prediction is only 72% of the Tesla default estimate. Whether this is due to very cold weather or due to the majority of my travel being at highway speeds, or to something else, this is incredibly valuable information to have for planning.
