- Retrieving vehicle data is now much more efficient and quicker.
- Watchla has a adopted an even stricter wake-as-last-resort policy ensuring that your vehicle is awaken as least as possible.
- Tesla owners with Tesla China accounts will see a pause in service for the new Tesla API. We are working with Tesla's developer program to address this as quickly as possible. For those Tesla China account holders affected, Watchla recommends staying on the old API until further notice from Watchla.

Lastly, thank you to the Watchla community for your patience and support during this transition period. Many updates over the following weeks to come. Please follow @WatchlaApp on X (formally Twitter) for the fastest, most timely updates.
