Apple Watch integration won’t work

Most of the features overlap with the Tesla app, but I thought having the watch integration could be useful in case my phone dies. Today I tried to leave my phone at my desk and access the car but the watch app did not get me access and I had to go back for my phone. I’m glad i figured out now that the watch didn’t give access as advertised.

We have thousands of users utilizing the Watch Key functions around the world with no reported issue. I'd be happy to help get your Watch Key working as well. Please email Support@Tessie.com so we can take a look.

Love this app

So this app does a lot of things that the regular Tesla app just doesn’t give you. I like to see stats. I want to see in detail stats of my driving, battery drain, “phantom drain” and see the fleet trends compared to me.

The coolest thing is that you can set this app up on your Apple Watch. So you can fully access your cars ability all from your watch. Many many many times I will check my watch to see if it’s the end of the day. And then boom, I can start my car. Pop the frunk makes it easy too!

Love this app. I recommend it to all!

Good

The App for Tesla owner

Thank You for the review!

Used to be good but

Have used and subscribed previously but after several updates on the app it is now getting annoying that you need to relogin and put your tesla credentials every now and then!

Tbh not worth it as the only difference from the official tesla app is the function to close your window in case you forgot to!

Battery health??? Only geek people needs this to be monitored on daily basis and nothing really significant data you will have on a yearly basis.

Tessie accounts, with ACTIVE subscriptions, do not require you to log into Tesla repeatedly. We have a few things Tesla doesn't offer. Drive, charge & battery tracking for starters. Battery Health is one of our most requested features, allowing users to get the most out of their investment and helping with possible resale.

Like a Black Box

This app logs all the data I could possibly need! I don’t need to remember to write things down, it’s all here! Makes keeping my logbook very easy, if someone asks “what time did you arrive”, I can just look it up, if I want to know how long a charge took, how long a drive took, when I’m next due for a tyre rotation… all of it!

Shame so expensive

Tried the app on a trial, lots of useful information and easy to use. Extremely expensive for what it is though and can’t justify the cost for an app.

Response from developer

I’ve introduced a new update with a $6.99 option that includes most peoples’ favorite core features. I hope you’ll give it a try - let me know what you think.

Hands down best customer service

New Tesla owner, I would delete the Tesla app if I could and only use Tessie. The app is amazing, but the customer service is why I’m writing this review.

Kiel was absolutely amazing in helping me figure out why my vehicle wasn’t syncing with the app. He was excellent at communicating the problem, and guaranteed he would fix it that day. Even as the day got late and into the evening, at 8:35est he emailed me to let me know the issue had been resolved.

Customer for life.

Thank You for the honest review! I was happy to help. :)

Not worth it

I subscribed to it mainly for the Apple Watch key ability in my 2023 Model Y. It’s a bit buggy and requires persistent attention to get it to work on my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my phone behind. It is NOT worth the continuous subscription for the unreliable convenience. I canceled. I would pay a one time fee just for the Apple Watch key access though with the hopes it would more reliably connect in the future.

Edit: Thanks for the response. It’s an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and my car is 2023 Model Y. I keep all my software at the most current (non-beta) version of everything in my digital life.

Response from developer

On Apple Watch Ultra 2, for battery conservation, Apple only allows a few background unlocks before you need to open the app on your watch. You can tap "Help" under Watch Key to learn how it works. You can always open the app on your watch to unlock your car. If that is not 1,000% reliable for you, something is wrong. Please email me at support@tessie.com.

Detailed app but expensive

This app compliments the Tesla cars, it works very similar to the official Tesla app and allows customisation and allows you to use your Apple Watch.

However, this is quite an expensive subscription for what it is, it doesn’t function any better than the official app so I struggled to see the point in paying for it. You can get some interesting data from it, but I don’t think people would use that for very long term. I cancelled the subscription once the free trial ended, yes there is a free trial so no risk, but I simply couldn’t justify it as the practical side of things the official Tesla app already does what you need, however many people do like what it does. Try it, you might like it, for me it wasn’t enough to justify the cost.

Better than the Tesla app

New Tesla owner here! I did a lot of research and when I found this app I must say I was scared of the price tag if you purchase our right but after a trail I saw the value. I recommend this app for any Tesla owner new and old. It’s way better than the Tesla app and gives me more details. The developers really did there thing with this app. I would like to see a future update specifically for Apple Watch but until then I will just add a widget to my watch. Even with that one item as a wish list thing it’s still 5 stars! I do plan on purchasing it in full at some point so I will continue to pay monthly as I know the value it provides. It can only get better with time but at that point I’m speechless bc it’s just that good!!
