I TRIED ONLY USING THE TESLA APPLE WATCH APP FOR 24 HOURS

EV Channels Review

In this 24-hour experiment, the creator tested the new Tesla Apple Watch app, aiming to ditch their phone entirely. The primary findings revolve around the app's functionality as a key fob, successfully handling tasks like unlocking/locking the car, opening the trunk, and controlling climate. However, the reviewer highlights significant limitations: the app is basic, lacking advanced features like Sentry mode viewing, and requires a cellular connection for remote operation, incurring an activation fee. Battery drain on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 was noted, dropping significantly during workout use but still lasting the full day. While the experience offered a refreshing break from phone distraction, the creator ultimately found the phone indispensable for the full Tesla app experience, concluding that the watch app is a good step but not a complete replacement.
