There's plenty of online buzz about Tesla making a smartphone. But is any of that true? Here's a closer look at the fabled 'Tesla Phone.'
Tesla is well known for its electric cars and solar energy solutions — but when is the fabled Tesla Phone releasing? Smartphones aren't anything new in 2022. From the iPhone, Galaxy S lineup, Google Pixels, etc., the smartphone market has had years to grow and mature. But that doesn't mean folks aren't still looking for something fresh and exciting.
For its part, Tesla has primarily focused on the automotive industry. The company sells four cars today, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. It's also working on the Cybertruck, Roadster, and Semi for future releases. Combined with Tesla's Solar Roof and solar panels, it's safe to say the company has its hands full with a pretty varied product portfolio.
Tesla has released a new update to its mobile app, adding a new customization feature, better widgets, and more.
Over the last few months, Tesla has been putting a renewed focus on its mobile app – starting with a refresh this summer.
As we previously reported, Tesla is looking to onboard more people through the app by having it at the center of the Supercharger experience for non-Tesla EV owners and solar customers.
But as usual, the automaker is also improving the experience for Tesla owners. Last month, Tesla pushed a big new update that added widgets for iOS users and live remote Sentry Mode view.
Now Tesla has come out with a few more improvements to its mobile app.
The automaker wrote in the release notes:
Customize quick controls on vehicle homepage with a long press
Adjust Cabin Overheat Protection
Widget improvements
Sentry Mode Live Camera Access on supported cars in select countries *Vehicle software version 2021.40.5+ required.
The most significant update is the ability to customize your quick controls.
Here’s how it looks:
You can set any of these options to appear on the main page for a one-click access.
Widgets have also been improved with the update, especially if you have a multi-vehicle account:
The live remote view is still not available to everyone in every market, and you need the latest vehicle software for the feature.
