Issues with web interface. Appears to work normally except that my Drives, Charges and Idles are not available (e.g. "No drives found Try changing your date range or filters" but changing these makes no difference). Activity, Battery info and Health are showing OK. Restarted browser and updated to latest version. Also logged out and back in to Tessie on web.

Just pushed out a dashboard upgrade to (ideally) make history data load fast and reliably across different browsers and settings.

 

[James@Tessie]

Huge update out today for iPhone and Apple Watch, including Phone Key, Watch Key and a lot more new stuff.

Android release pending Google's review process.

 

[Mobile3228]

Could you be a little more specific ?

Fantastic update. Just bought Watchla last week, so now kicking myself. Oh well!

 

[DBV1]

So will the new update start the Tesla now too as long as you have cellular Apple Watch? Thanks for all the updates!

It could always start the car over cellular if you pressed the start button. Now it will start it automatically over Bluetooth, no cellular needed, assuming your car/watch support it.

This is awesome! I have it installed (I have the TestFlight version) on my phone and watch - is there anything I need to do to use my watch via Bluetooth, eg, do I need to add a new key in my car first?

Yep, open the watch app and tap Watch Key.

So I already had my phone set up as a key, obviously, and now I've set it up again as another key through Tessie. What's the difference there exactly (forgive me, I've only had the car a few weeks)? I assumed the phone key used bluetooth already to unlock the car (rather than rely on an internet connection)?

It's the same, with the addition of allowing you to unlatch all doors and control the car over Bluetooth via Shortcuts and lock screen widgets.

I was also wondering this. Assumed it was so people didn’t have to use the Tesla app at all if they wanted? Not sure why someone wouldn’t have the main Tesla app though unless I’m missing something. LOVE the watch key addition though!

It's the same functionality with the addition of allowing you to control all doors, and control the car over Bluetooth via lock screen widgets and automate it via Shortcuts. There's a breakdown here of what it adds for each platform.

This is the first iteration of Bluetooth integration, and while I'm quite happy with it, I've also got a few ideas for some other pretty neat things we can do with it in the future.

Sorry, to be clear is the Tessie app on Android Wear (Pixel Watch) support Internet, Bluetooth, and NFC then?

It supports internet and Bluetooth. It does not do anything with NFC.

Dang, was hoping to yank both other Watch Apps. Hopefully one day

Bluetooth can be flaky sometimes, having the consistency of NFC helps, which I use on my Pixel Phone quite a bit, especially to manually locking my car

Interesting. I'll look into this.

Awesome! This is why I love the app!

Another suggestion, obviously this is the first Bluetooth Support, having Door Eject (Model3/Y) would be cool. Don't think that's possible for the Phone App, since pretty sure it needs Bluetooth connected, but should work for Watch app since there's no Tesla app, at least for Android?
