Anyone else come across this issue? I can't use commands on the Watch for Tesla app any more because of this. With Tesla ending their current API this is going to crop up with any third party app from now on.

There was a Tesla app update today and I got my hopes up but this didn't fix it. Hopefully 'soon'!

Yep, affects me too. I got this message when following the update instructions from ev.energy to enable the wall charger to talk to the Tesla. For a week or so, I got an error from Octopus app but that error has now gone and the car seems to be charging alright again. Looking in the Tesla app, under Security and Privacy, it's telling me that my account can manage third party apps.
The latest version of the Tesla app (4.29.5 on iOS) has now fixed this. You can add a virtual key but you need the keycard so presumably need to be in the car. I'm still in bed so not tried it yet!
