About

FleetCtrl

Read full description

Your Tesla, live. Not a snapshot from the last time an app woke the car up: a stream, straight from your car, the whole time. FleetCtrl was built by a Tesla owner for the rest of us, around one idea: you already love this car. Here's more of it. ENHANCED SENTRY MODE Sentry Mode records. FleetCtrl can make the car react. Switch on Enhanced Sentry and the moment your Tesla notices a Sentry event, the lights flash and the car sounds off, within seconds, while a time-sensitive alert reaches your phone. The sound is your choice: the horn, or the car's own lock chime, which means whatever custom lock sound you've given your Tesla now stands guard over it. Pick lights, sound or both, set how many times the lights flash, and set quiet hours so the car keeps the peace overnight. It's optional. Leave it off and you still get the alert. CHARGING, ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity follows every charging session from plug-in to charged, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Battery, charge limit, power, amps and rate, with a range bar that fills as the charge goes in. Time remaining and the estimated completion time, so at a glance you always know when the car is ready to go. ALERTS THAT ARRIVE WHEN IT MATTERS A Sentry event, battery running low, the cabin getting hot, a software update waiting and which version of FSD it brings: each one lands the moment the car reports it. Every alert is toggleable, so you're in control of what matters to you. NEVER LOSE A SONG, WITH MUSIC HISTORY That track that came on somewhere on the freeway, the one you meant to look up and never did. FleetCtrl keeps a music history of what your Tesla has played, artwork and all. Scroll back to it, tap it, and it opens instantly and starts playing in the same app on your phone, whether that's Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music. LIVE TELEMETRY Everything the car reports, in real time. Battery and range, charging, speed and gear, cabin and outside temperature, self-driving, media, doors, locks, windows, tyre pressures and Sentry. The home screen shows the state of the car this second, and the live feed shows every reading the moment it arrives. CONTROLS THAT FEEL INSTANT Start with climate. A 24-hour chart shows cabin and outside temperature side by side. Set a temperature, start the climate, and watch the chart respond in real time. The right control is always within reach and the state of each one is clear at a glance, so you can see what's locked, open or on before you touch anything. Every control responds the moment you tap it and shows the car's real response. PERFORMANCE PROFILER How much horsepower is your Tesla really making? Your car never says. FleetCtrl works it out, live, from the torque and RPM of every motor. Start a session, drive, and see your peak horsepower, g-force, top speed and motor temperatures. Sessions are ranked, so your best run is always on the board and the next one has something to beat. SELF-DRIVING, BY THE NUMBERS How much of your driving does your Tesla do for you? FleetCtrl keeps score. Every day's distance, split into self-driven and human-driven, with the percentage charted day by day: a bar for how far you went, a line for how much of it the car handled. Watch the share climb as you trust it more, and see the running total of how far FSD has driven you. PRIVACY, PROPERLY FleetCtrl never collects your car's location and never asks for your phone's. Your telemetry runs the app for you, and that's all it does. GETTING STARTED Sign in, connect your Tesla account, and pair your Tesla with a tap of Approve in the Tesla app. Under a minute, all from your phone, revocable anytime. Full access is a monthly subscription, free for the first week, cancel any time in the app or your Apple Account settings. It's what keeps FleetCtrl independent and improving.

FleetCtrl holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TezLab has 5.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
