New in Nikola 2.10.2: • Rate of charge will correctly be shown in kilometers per hour when appropriate. • Addresses a stability issue. New in Nikola 2.10.1: More Siri Shortcut Actions at your disposal: • An action to let you know if sentry mode is on or off. • An action for knowing if there is currently a cable plugged in to the vehicle or not. • An action for checking the cabin (inside) temperature. • An action for checking the outside temperature. • An action for setting the charge limit. • An action for getting the currently set charge limit. • An action to let you know if the rear trunk is open. • An action to let you know if the front trunk is open. New in Nikola 2.10: New features: • iOS 16 enables new Lock Screen widgets for Nikola, so Nikola now has its own! Add your vehicle's state of charge to your Lock Screen. Supporting the rectangular layout, a circular, and an inline text status. Try them out for yourself! • If you are a fleet operator, or manage multiple vehicles, please get in touch with us and we can give you early access to more fleet-protection features. New in Nikola 2.1 to 2.9: • See all your Teslas on one map! (for those of you lucky enough to have multiple Teslas) • Customizable geofence alerts, when a vehicle leave or arrives at a location or within a radius. • Remote Start added to Controls screen, Widget, and Siri Shortcuts. • All new climate controls. • Charge Port button on the Widget and Apple Watch are now smarter. • Added Unlock Charge Port, Start Charging, and Stop Charging vehicle commands through Shortcuts. • Added an 'is the car charging' status through Shortcuts. • Speed Alerts: Receive speed alerts if your vehicle is going faster than you'd like. • Sentry Persistence: Keep Sentry mode on.

Our most highly requested feature has arrived. • HomeLink controls in the app, widget, and in Siri shortcuts! • Graph for DC fast charging (including supercharging). Apparently there are a bunch of non-Tesla DC fast chargers in Australia! • The fastest and most reliable car controls in the west! Nikola will accept controls immediately and work on your behalf to get them to your car, even if it has a poor connection or is in a "sleeping" state. • Get a free month of Nikola when you refer a friend, see referral link in-app. • New detailed climate controls, including the ability to set temperature and seat heaters. • Added ability to smartly unlock the charge port by stopping a charge and then unlocking, which should be especially useful for non-USA Tesla owners. • Apple Watch Controls will now ask for confirmation, as appropriate. • iOS Widget: See your battery level and unlock your car from your home screen with the Nikola Widget. • Smarter confirmation steps when sending car commands. • Customize Widget appearance by selecting which vehicle to show or by selecting light or dark appearances. • Trunk / frunk widget controls are now available. • Vent and close windows from within Nikola. • For cars with a sunroof, vent and close sunroof from within Nikola. • Window and sunroof controls in the widget. • Improved charge port lock handling. • Vastly reduced "logouts" that caused some users to have to periodically log back in. • Made Login seamless by adding the new Tesla login system and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA). • Weekly average MPGe graph. • Dozens of other enhancements, security improvements, and bug fixes. Thank you to the beta testers who made recent upgrades to Nikola possible. I look forward to building future versions of Nikola with your help!

Seems cool but expensive

I do like a lot of its features that this app presents but I’m truly not a fan of this subscription model. $10/mo or $80/year for an APP is beginning to get out of hand. Our lives are becoming a long list of forgotten subscriptions where it seems that $10 is the base line. I personally do not drive as much and don’t live in a high income area where $10/m or $80/y is looked at as cheese burger money. I’ll wait till this drops down to something that makes sense before trying it again.

Apple Watch key

The best convenient and easy way to manage your Tesla with Apple Watch!

Don’t install it

The app after asking me to log in, immediately was asking for a subscription and I could not even try the app. This is absolutely awful because now they have the log ins of my Tesla account unnecessarily and I couldn’t even see the app.

This type of app shouldn’t be allow in the App Store.

My Nicola app

I use the app on my iPhone. I wonder if it can be programmed to respond faster. The open the charge port is slow.

Green energy propaganda

This is a political app, it’s just more carbon footprint lies. Tired of the rich who fly private jets and have 10,000 plus square footage home telling us regular people to do our part and cut back because the ice caps will melt and kill us all as they buy up all the beach front real estate. Don’t download don’t play into these lies, it’s all a scam to take more wealth from the 99% and transfer to the top 1%. Great rest is not a theory it’s happening and they are robbing us blind.
