came across this app a little while back.
Absolutely excellent for me. Remarkably stable in v1.4, some crashes but Tesla browser does that anyway.
I can't recommend Teslaa highly enough.
I dont use it all the time, but as Tesla dont show the "green google road clear" lines any more (bloody annoying- yet another useful feature removed) it is all too easy to get caught in a road closed scenario - where at least Google would show no green lines as there was no traffic making you immediately suspicious something was up. If for your not insignificant monthly payment Tesla included a traffic incident reporting service, perhaps I would have a different view.
So I use it selectively when I am unfamiliar areas or need to have additional confidence in the roads ahead - Waze shows camera and incidents, or Google maps because they're just better than Tesla ones.
Also is useful if the kids have to message me on Whatsapp
Downsides:
the phone gets very hot on vpn I assume as there is a lot of data transferred (Pixel 6)
if you try to press the mic button to talk a message - I get the car try to dial a mobile nr ending in xxx174 - not sure what that is about and havent had time to look into it, but frantically ahd to try to stop the car dialling whatever this number is.
If I'm honest I still prefer Teslawaze for the best maps but unfortunately that never is quite stable enough to be truly usable.
More of these apps the better.
Well done to the dev.
