## What is Nikola for Tesla?

Keep your cars safe and reach Tesla enlightenment with Nikola.
 
Nikola is a guardian for your Tesla or Teslas, proactively helping you keep your EV or EV Fleet healthy and giving you access to essential data that is not available from Tesla.
 
• See your vehicle health at a glance; receive alerts when your Tesla has dangerously low battery, the car is unlocked, or a door or window is left open.
• Protect your car with enhanced monitoring and safety features including time-based Autolock, Speed Alerts, & Sentry Persistence. Nikola will keep an eye on your car for you.
• Easily complete expense reports and taxes with a data export of your drives and charges.
• Catch joyriding valets with Nikola’s suspicious activity alerts in Valet Mode — we’ve caught them before!
• Quickly check your battery level with the Nikola Apple Watch complication.
• Review important aspects of every drive, including efficiency, energy consumption, and top and average speed.
• Unlock with no hands using Siri!
• Effortlessly open the trunk, frunk, start climate, and more from Nikola for Apple Watch.
• Compare your performance to other Tesla drivers with Nikola Fleet Stats.
• Learn more about your charging patterns at home and at superchargers, with data and graphs of your charge cycles including duration, energy added, and variations in power.
• Understand your driving and charging habits with beautiful, easy-to-read graphs of weekly data.
 
 
Privacy:
 
• Nikola does not store your Tesla account password. The Nikola App on your Apple Device communicates directly with Tesla to obtain an authentication token, and saves the token to process vehicle data. The Nikola servers do not see or store your password. Privacy voodoo.
• Pause logging of driving and charging metrics at any time to go under the radar. 
• Nikola doesn’t need to be open on your phone for metrics to be logged to the app.
• Nikola works wherever in the world you drive your Tesla.
 
Note: Nikola requires a subscription, paid from your App Store Account. Nikola offers an automatic one-week free trial before payment. The Nikola subscription will automatically renew and charge your account $9.99 at the end of the trial, and each month after that. You can cancel your free trial or subscription at any time by going to your iTunes Account Settings at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
 
Nikola was made by Tesla enthusiasts and is not endorsed by Tesla, Inc in any way.

### 3/5 — Seems cool but expensive

*2023-08-20*

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.

### 5/5 — Apple Watch key

*2023-02-03, version 2.10.1*

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

### 1/5 — Don’t install it

*2022-12-14, version 2.10.1*

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.

### 5/5 — My Nicola app

*2022-11-01, version 2.10*

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

### 1/5 — Green energy propaganda

*2022-08-19, version 2.9*

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.

### 3/5 — Not enough

*2022-06-22, version 2.8*

So before I got my own Tesla I thought this app was super cool and has so much features, now after I received finally my Tesla and downloaded the Tesla app first, it literally has 80-90% of all those features except for the Apple Watch companion app and the Siri commands, and it’s completely free, + has 3D dynamic car model which is interactive with every command you do, unlike the picture like models in this app. So I personally thinks $80 subscription for watch and Siri commands isn’t really justifying the price because re adding features that already the Tesla app has but with different UI doesn’t make them new features

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-06-11, version 2.8*

Lots of useful features and the devs are super responsive to suggestions too. :-)

### 1/5 — I feel robbed

*2022-02-24, version 2.7.3*

First let me say that I did not want this app. I was trying the free trial. I had down loaded it once but I caught COVID so cancelled. 

Well now I got stuck paying the full price for a YEAR. And it does less than my regular FREE Tesla app and watch app that was $12 a year. 

I tried getting a refund but was told to come to you and I have been avoided for past few days. 

Anyways not a game-changing app. One page that does wayyyyyy less. 

Am I missing something?

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2022-01-27, version 2.7.3*

I have tried multiple apps for my  Tesla this is my favorite.  If I have questions they email me back within an hour. Program is perfect

### 4/5 — Confusing interface

*2022-01-15, version 2.7.3*

I gave it 4 stars for effort. I m a firm believer in originality. What i meant by that is.  This app would have been great if it can mirror the old tesla app but added more options. As of the way it is right now. The inferface need works. Its all over the place and options are not group together as in a way that a 3yrs old can follow. I dont know how to explain it. But what drove me away from this app is. All options cluster together and not clearly define and group like the old tesla app.
