## What is Remote for Tesla?

Add Apple Watch & Siri/Shortcut support to your Tesla vehicle
- Very reliable Siri & Shortcuts support that works even if the car is asleep. Control and get your car stats on the watch or phone without opening the app. You can combine/schedule/automate commands based on triggers/conditions such as when you're driving, if your charging cable isn't plugged in, when you're sleeping, when you're about to go to work, when you're connected to certain Bluetooth or WiFi connections, when you tap a NFC tag, when your alarm goes off, or a certain time each day. Add Shortcuts as icons on your home screen or widgets for quick access to your car's stats or to control it.
- Fully functional Apple Watch app with vehicle stats complications
- Opens, connects, and issues commands faster than other Tesla apps
- Queued commands. You can close the app after issuing a few commands even if your car is asleep and it'll still do them.
- View your battery stats such as the current/total usable kWh of your car compared to the stated capacity, how much phantom drain your car currently has, and a history of your car's range vs its odometer/time.
- Display battery/power usage even when not charging
- No phantom drain or background usage. This app doesn't use your car's batteries when the app isn't in use.
- See the total miles/kWh added from the last charge session
- Estimated range is displayed (this estimates your battery range based on your past 30 miles of usage)
- Consolidated stats and commands into one screen for quicker access to information. View all three ranges (estimated, rated, ideal/typical, odometer) at the same time and up to the nearest 1/100th mi/km
- See and copy the raw vehicle data returned by Tesla's API servers
- Hold the app icon for quick commands from the Home Screen
- Use HomeLink or Summon your car when not near it and without continuous press needed (autopilot required). Activate keyless start prior to Summon to avoid needing a keyfob nearby.
- Avoid idle fees from Tesla by setting an in-app alarm that alerts you when charging reaches a certain kW or % level
- Camp/Dog Mode allows you to keep the HVAC on in the car even though there is no activity. Normally, the car will turn off HVAC after 30 minutes.
- View how many range miles are being used per hour
- Use the remotes:// URL schema with parameters to issues commands
- Max cool and Max heat buttons to quickly send multiple commands to your car to optimize cooling and heating
- No-Commands Mode lets you log in the app for your family/friends to monitor your Tesla's location without allowing them to control to your car
- Breadcrumb tracking allows you to see the path that the car has recently taken
- Trip statistics shows your current MPGe, kWh used, miles traveled, kWh per 100 miles, cost savings vs. a gas car, cost savings over the car's lifetime, and many more fun stats
- Save trip routes to different save slots and compare the distance, kWh used, cost, and more for each route
- In-app browser can detect commands from javascript so that you can create scheduled, queued or repeated commands
- Change passenger and driver temperature separately

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2026-07-31, version 5.3.0*

App stopped working with car  no way of conta ting suplier

### 2/5 — Gets but not Do

*2026-07-18, version 5.3.0*

This app is great for getting information for Shortcuts. 
However does not Do any commands.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2026-07-12, version 5.3.0*

Doesn’t unlock my car. Doesn’t turn on the AC just tells me what my phone tells me and less features. This app is a waste of money. Total disappointment. Don’t spend the money.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-06-20, version 5.3.0*

Useless as it’s read only and no commands have worked for a very long time.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-29, version 5.2.0*

I just purchased this app yesterday (5/28/2026).  This app does not seem to work as it does not seem to be linked to the Tesla app.  Unfortunately, support does not respond to my emails.  I would like my money back at this point.

### 4/5 — Gut funktioniert

*2026-05-24*

Viel besser als App von Tesla, aber es gibt paar Sachen zu verbessern

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-03-25*

I’m extremely disappointed in this application, I paid the full $25 for it and then connected successfully to my car. I can do read only functions like see stats of the car but anytime I issue a command to it like to honk the horn, flash the headlights or activate home link, which is why I bought it, nothing happens. I did a pretty deep investigation and found out that it’s because of the Tesla API change, but it looks like the author hasn’t updated this in a long time and it no longer works for pushing commands to the car, so it doesn’t work and they know it, but they’re still selling it for $25 and advertising that it still works for all the push commands

### 1/5 — Remote Start doesn’t work

*2025-10-15, version 5.2.0*

I bought this app so that way I would stop having to pay for a Tessie subscription to have the ability to do keyless driving with my older S. 

But this app doesn’t work. The Tessie app has no issue with remote start :(.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-09-27, version 5.2.0*

If you want stats that’s all it does. No help or anyone to contact for any assistance. Garbage!! not worth it!!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-08-26, version 5.2.0*

Crash. Does not work. Requesting refund like many others. Can’t believe Apple allows this trash in the store.
