An Apple Watch app has been unveiled by Tesla, and it is anticipated to launch by the following week.
Activating climate control, opening the trunk or the frunk, displaying the battery level, and acting as a key are just a few of the features that the Tesla app for the Apple Watch will offer.
Other features that were identified are eight minor updates and eight major updates that Tesla released along with the app. These include setting a preferred battery level for when you get to your location, creating personalized Cybertruck wraps and license plates, and watching Dashcam and Sentry Mode video straight from the Tesla smartphone app and saving them to your phone for editing or sharing.
Tesla revealed its holiday update over the air, which included a ton of new features and enhancements. The most significant update may be an Apple Watch app that allows you to operate several Tesla functions with your watch. For example, an Apple Watch can be used as a key, to unlock the frunk, to set a temperature, and to see the battery level of the car.
The ability to trick your pals by making a whoopie cushion fart sound anytime they sit in the passenger seat, however, is arguably the most significant Tesla improvement.
Many people will probably find the upgraded Apple Watch beneficial, but the “fart on contact” feature will also probably be used occasionally. Any seat can be configured to “fart on contact,” meaning that when someone sits on it, a fart sound will be played. In addition to having “fart on demand” and “fart on turn signal” settings, this digital whoopee cushion is Tesla’s third fart function.
Tesla also has unveiled a number of other new features. All the information is in a post on X. A new cross-traffic alert while in reverse, the option to select a preferred battery level when you reach your destination, and Cybertruck’s “Santa Mode” that transforms your car’s avatar into a sleigh are some of the noteworthy additions.
