Access your vehicle controls and climate from the Apple Shortcuts app.

Editor's note: With official support for Apple Shortcuts, you can now control many aspects of your Tesla with Siri.

Simply say 'Hey, Siri' and one of the pre-created Tesla phrases, such as 'Lock Tesla,' to control your vehicle with your voice.

You can also create your own shortcuts to perform various actions, such as setting your vehicle to your desired temperature and starting the climate system. To set up your own shortcuts, open the Apple Shortcuts app.

In addition to Siri support, you can also set up automations for your vehicle, such as turning on your Tesla's climate system automatically at a specific time every day.

Cusutomations need to be set up through the Shortcuts app by navigating to the 'Automation' tab and clicking the plus sign at the top corner of the screen.

The full list of supported vehicle controls include:

• Bioweapon Defense Mode
• Camp Mode
• Defrost
• Dog Mode
• Precondition Vehicle
• Set Seat Heater (seat position and heat level)
• Set Temperature (choose climate temperature)
• Vent Windows
• Set Media Volume
• Emissions Test
• Close All Windows
• Flash Lights
• Honk Horn
• Lock/Unlock
• Open Frunk
• Open/Close Charge Port
• Open/Close Door (Model X)
• Open/Close Rear Trunk
• Sentry Mode
• Set Charge Limit
• Start/Stop Charging

You can now earn Tesla referral credits when referring customers take a test drive.

For each test drive, Tesla will add 100 credits to your account. Test drives, or demo drives, as Tesla refers to them can be scheduled directly on the Tesla site, and you can refer a friend through the Tesla app.

If the buyer decides to buy a Tesla, your referral code will automatically be applied to their order as well. You'll gain another 10,000 credits for a Model 3 or Model Y referral, or 20,000 credits for a Model S or Model X order.

If you have Tesla Insurance, the 'Cancel' policy button in the app is now more visible. The cancel button now appears to be available for more customers as well, however, it may be based on state.

The Tesla Electric promotion in the Schedule section of the app has now been removed. It appears this was added prematurely or accidentally shown to everyone instead of regions where Tesla Electric is available.

Tesla Electric is now featured in the Schedule section of the app. Tapping on the module will display more information about Tesla Electric, such as unlimited charging during 10pm - 6am for $25/month. You can check if you're eligible for Tesla Electric by adding your service address.

Note: Tesla Electric is currently available in parts of Texas.

It looks like Tesla is looking to improve phone key functionality by adding support for Ultra-Wideband. Ultra-Wideband uses very low energy for short-range communication. It can use less energy than Bluetooth, while providing higher precision location tracking. This could improve Tesla's phone key functionality and reliability.

A phone will need to support Ultra-Wideband to see these potential improvements. However, phones have included support for a number of years now, ranging back to the iPhone 11 and Samsung Galaxy S21.

References to Ultra-Wideband and Bluetooth Low Energy were found in this latest update from Tesla and point at possible future improvements, according to findings by @Tesla_App_iOS.

Your Tesla referral history is now available in its own tab. Tap the referral box on the top-right corner of the app then tap the History tab to view your referral history.

Previously you needed to tap the Earn tab and then tap History on the top right corner to view your history.

A link to manage third party apps has been added to the Security and Privacy section of the app.

A link to Manage Third Party Apps has been available on the web for about a month now, but given that it has now been added to the app, Tesla may be close to enabling this feature. There is currently no way to add or remove a third party service.

By letting you magage third party apps, customers will have an official and more privacy concise way to let third party services access their vehicle data. These third-party services leverage the Tesla API to access yoru vehicle's data and should not be confused with the apps in your vehicle and the rumored Tesla App Store.

Minor fixes and improvements.

Tesla has updated the name and description of "Passive Authentication" in the app to "Phone Key." This feature lets you enable or disable the auto locking/unlocking and starting of the vehicle when your phone is near by.

The updated name better describes the feature that can be used by owners who live in a location where their phone may be close enough to their vehicle that may allow someone to unlock or start their car. This feature can also be used if you plan to keep your phone locked in your vehicle, but want to prevent it from being able to unlock or start your vehicle.

Through server-side changes Tesla has updated the Energy graphs for Tesla solar.

The y-axis used to remain constant at 28 kW, making it easier to compare usage across various components. However, it also caused some graphs to be harder to read since they could appear much smaller on the screen if the usage was much less than the maximum y-value.

With this remote change, Tesla has updated the y-axis to once again be based on the maximum value in the graph, leading to bigger, easier to read graphs.

Tesla now also shows your Tesla vehicle in the Energy flow section at the bottom of the Energy section. This will display the amount of energy consumed by your vehicle, regardless if the source of the energy was from solar, Powerwall or the grid.

Refreshed Energy Graphs for Solar and Powerwall

Editor's Note: The updated energy graphs in the Energy section are now easier to read and understand.

They also feature an Energy Flow table at the bottom that displays how energy has been imported and exported for each system component.

The buttons to display or hide each component's graph have been moved to the bottom in the Energy Flow section.

The Impact section of the app remains unchanged in this update, however, it may only be a matter of time before that section is updated as well.
