EV Channels Review
This video provides a comprehensive guide on leveraging an Apple Watch to control a Tesla, focusing primarily on the "Shortcuts" app and the third-party "Tessie" app. The reviewer demonstrates how to set up custom shortcuts for actions like opening the trunk, which can be triggered via voice command or directly from the watch face. A significant portion is dedicated to the Tessie app, highlighting its ability to function as a key and control the vehicle even when the phone is off or out of range, albeit with a subscription fee. The reviewer also explores the utility of Apple Watch cellular service for Tesla control, ultimately concluding it's not cost-effective for this specific purpose, as the Tessie app offers similar functionality via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. While the reviewer praises the convenience and potential of using the watch as a key, they note limitations and the necessity of paid services for advanced features.
