Tesla App Update Adds Over 20 Apple Shortcuts Actions

No worries, us electric drivers still appreciate last generation cars; you guys always give me a little boost when you want to try to outrun me at the light and I leave you in the dust 😂
Absolutely nothing, it’s the go-to complaint for anyone who wants to discount a car ahead of knowing anything substantial about it
Most of these Siri shortcuts could already be used if a third-party app (like Stats) were to be installed. Granted, the Stats app is expensive, so with this newest Tesla app update, a need in the Stats app is all but gone. Except one very useful thing: Tesla still has no Apple Watch app, while Stats does, which allows for the Apple watch to be used as a car key. I don't understand why a high-tech company like Tesla can't get their act together and put its app on the Apple Watch? This is such an important feature to be able to use your Tesla (open it and start it) when your Phone dies.
don't need carplay, you guys act like carplay is the best thing since sliced bread 😂
Pomp and circumstance? You mean annoying your neighbors while everyone around you on the road rolls their eyes?
Don’t think you know what pomp and circumstance means. Either way, precisely nobody is impressed with V8s anymore; it’s not 2004. A V8 motor is retro tech.

Wow - I am glad I live in a city with good air quality
I charge 240v at home, and I’ve driven Florida to Maine using Superchargers. Non Teslas have a **** time charging, but the Supercharger network isn’t “getting there”, it’s there.
Looking forward to leveraging some of these shortcuts. I previously had to use 3rd party app to generate these same shortcuts and its as pretty hit or miss. Some of them aren't that helpful but being able to cool down the car, defrost it, or open one of the trunks when your hands are full or you just don't want to sift through the Tesla app for the correct command is handy.
Necessary? No. Handy? Yes.

I own a Tesla. The UI is garbage.
Agreed and I don't even have a 240 installed at home. I just use a standard 12A plug. But I've driven from Cincy to DC, WV, Green Bay, and Florida and never felt any range anxiety.
A horse is more reliable than a Tesla! There better electric vehicles to choose from btw.
lol what? i charge my tesla through solar, can't get more green than that, and the tesla app maps out your entire trip with superchargers on route automatically, absolutely seamless experience.

Haha yeah, fancy name for AC.Bioweapon Defense Mode

Never say never. After introducing yoke steering, Musk said there would be no "traditional" steering wheel option but that changed early this year as Tesla now offers both yoke and regular steering.
Along the I-95 corridor, sure. Getting from Florida to Maine is not an issue.
There are a lot of people who don't live in the world you inhabit. It's a big country. In a majority of it, EV infrastructure sucks.
If an EV works for you, that's great. I'm glad you're happy with it. There are all kinds of arguments over the environmental impact of EVs (Mining rare earth metals, electrical generation, wear and tear on roads and tires due to EV weight) vs gas powered vehicles.
But it's not for everyone everywhere yet. Not by a long shot.
I think the vast majority of negative posts about Tesla (maybe life things in general) come from people who have never tried or experienced the things they enjoy being negative about.
Or maybe they‘re for whatever reason never going to be able to experience them, so it’s an auto neg from them.
This is great. I pretty much pay for a TeslaFi subscription exclusively for the connection to Alexa to ask "Alexa, get the car ready" and have it pre-condition the interior. Surprised it took this long to add this functionality.
Fellow Tesla owners: Don't bother engaging with weird FUD-loving anti-EV weirdoes in this thread. You're better off spending your time doing literally anything else than trying to educate people who get all of their information from email forwards and Facebook memes.

ok, which one is better? Where do you charge it?
What did you think when you drove the Plaid?
Are they? Who's going to design and update these apps? Because Instagram, as just one example, still doesn't have an app for the iPad, a 13-year-old device that sells in far larger numbers than Teslas ever will.
I just got back last night from a month-long Brooklyn to Colorado trip in our Model Y with my wife, baby and two cats. We also use the frunk for two duffel bags. Saves an incredible amount of space.
"Pomp and circumstance" is the perfect way to put it as internal combustion engines are for people who like their cars like marching bands: loud and slow.
