Tesla has confirmed the highly-requested addition of an Apple Watch app in the upcoming 2024 Holiday Update, responding to years of owner requests. This new feature will allow users to control various functions of their Tesla vehicles directly from their wrist, including battery status and cabin climate settings, enhancing convenience for Tesla owners who rely on smart technology.
"People have been asking for a watch app for years," noted Dillon Loomis, emphasizing the growing need for a native Tesla app due to the increasing capabilities of smartwatches. That need for a reliable application for controlling Tesla functions without depending on third-party developers was a recurring theme among users' requests, indicating a robust demand for direct integration.
The release of the Apple Watch app represents Tesla's commitment to listening to customer feedback and implementing features that align with owner needs. As confirmed by the company, this app allows Tesla drivers to monitor their car's battery level, control the cabin climate, and perform tasks such as opening the frunk, all from their smartwatch, showcasing a significant step in enhancing user experience.
Tesla's source code had hinted at a smartwatch app's development since late October, suggesting that the company has been actively working on this feature. While initially uncertain about the platform it would launch on, Tesla has now revealed that Apple Watch will be the primary support system for the app, marking a concrete evolution in Tesla’s integration with wearable technology.
