Tesla app on Apple Watch

I have the Watch for Tesla app on my Apple Watch and use it occasionally.
Yesterday morning, my phone battery died while I was at the gym. (I know I should always carry the key card).
I didn't try the watch app. I know it can unlock the car - but can I DRIVE the car in that scenario (dead phone and no keycard) ??
Yes, you can use Watch for Tesla app to unlock and drive the Y, provided your Apple Watch has cellular and not just the GPS-only model. I have an Apple Watch 7 with LTE and have used the Watch for Tesla app regularly to drive the Y when I’m without my phone and keycard. Works great, as does “Siri, open trunk” when my hands are full. Remote start enables driving.

Yes STATS works great. I like the Tesla Battery Level showing as a Complication ( Top Left- 49% ) . You can change it to Rated Range, Est. Range, or Battery Level. All the other features like unlock doors and Start Car (drive) work fine with my Apple watch 7 with LTE. Kind-A-CooL 😁
