You'll Soon Be Able to Natively Unlock Your Tesla with Your Apple Watch

Up until your phone dies and you're far from your charger, unlocking Tesla with your iPhone is kind of neat. You're stuck inside your Tesla and don't know what to do. Surprisingly, this may occur more often than you would think. It's interesting to note that, if Elon Musk has his ideas confirmed, Tesla customers may soon be able to lock and unlock their vehicles using an Apple Watch.

This happened when Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded, "Sure," to a user who asked on X whether Tesla could be operated with an Apple Watch.

We don't yet know precisely what Tesla has in store or when this functionality will be available. Honestly, until Musk replied to the X thread, we had no clue whether anything along these lines was being considered.

It is now far overdue for there to be a Tesla app for the Apple Watch. You can lock and unlock your Tesla using certain third-party Apple Watch applications, but native functionality is still lacking. Among the well-known applications that provide Tesla control on your Apple Watch are Tessie and Stats.

Owners of Tesla vehicles should be able to unlock their vehicles, remotely start them, precondition the interior, and more using the Tesla Apple Watch app, should it become available. These, however, are only presumptions and expectations. Musk provided no details on what would really transpire.

When your iPhone stops functioning, the article explains how to unlock the Tesla. We now have two things to anticipate. First, your Apple Watch has complete key support. The ability to just unlock and start your automobile over the internet comes in second. When you are not within Bluetooth range, you may already do it using the app.

"Full-fledged key support" would definitely be the best choice. We may anticipate complete phone key compatibility via Bluetooth and Ultra-wideband because the Apple Watch 6 and subsequent versions support ultra-wideband.

Another feature that Tesla customers have long wanted is support for live activities. They want the business to use this capability so that customers may see how well their vehicle is charging. Regretfully, there's no information on whether or not it will occur. In addition to adding support for Live Activities last month, Rivian is also developing a function that would use the Apple Watch as a key.
