5.1.2
2024-02-13
Fixed an issue where vehicles on an older vehicle (such as firmware version 2022 and older) could not see their vehicle on the map.
5.0.2
2023-12-10
Fixed an issue where the vehicle's location was not displaying after updating to the newest vehicle firmware.
5.0.1
2023-09-07
More accurate reading for the estimated total usable kWh capacity of your vehicle's battery.
5.0.0
2023-08-20
Added the ability to set charging amps via the app and through shortcuts or Siri. You can now change what amps you want the car to be charging at.Added the ability make a loud fart noise through the sound system or the boombox if it's supported. You can find the fart button by pressing the Remote logo on the top of the app. Or you can add it as an action to your shortcut or Siri.
4.9.0
2023-04-29
Vastly improved connection speed with Tesla's servers. Watch app now refreshes twice as fast. The refresh rate for the iOS app can be changed in the settings if you wish to change it to something faster.
4.8.1
2022-05-20
Removed the prompt asking for user feedback as requested by one of the app reviewers. Fixed an issue that prevented a small number of users with an unusual vehicle configuration from logging into the app.
4.8.0
2022-04-23
Added two new shortcuts: Get open trunk status and get open frunk status. This will tell you if your rear trunk or front trunk (frunk) is opened or closed. This is useful for checking prior to activating the trunk via shortcuts. For example, if you want your shortcut to only open the trunk instead of closing it, then you should add an "if" condition to your Shortcut to check if the trunk is closed first. If it's already opened, then don't activate the trunk.
4.7.4
2022-04-13
Fixed the issue of the command menu on the Apple Watch not showing up after an app update or Apple Watch restart. Tweaked the "Get Sleep Status" shortcut action to have a shorter execution time to prevent it from timing out. Added a new action called "Get Sleep Status (5 sec timeout)" that will attempt to retry getting the sleep status for up to five seconds if it fails to get it. Fixed the status bar background not covering the whole top of the screen for newer devices.
4.7.3
2022-04-11
Fixed an issue where sometimes the Tesla server fails to give you the sleep status of your vehicle and the shortcut stops working. Now the shortcut will automatically retry to get the sleep status up to three more times. If it's still unable to get the sleep status, it will respond with "unknown" rather than give a failure message. If you're still having issues getting Shortcuts to work reliably, please see the instructions on how to create Shortcuts properly by pressing the Remote logo on the top of the app and scrolling to the bottom. There are two methods shown in the instructions, so try both and see which one works best for your device and vehicle.
4.7.2
2022-04-10
Significantly improved reliability of Siri / Shortcuts support to the point so that it should always work when you run it. If you're still having issues getting Shortcuts to work reliably, please see the instructions on how to create Shortcuts properly by pressing the Remote logo on the top of the app and scrolling to the bottom. There are two methods shown in the instructions, so try both and see which one works best for your device and vehicle.
4.7.1
2022-04-05
Made the summon on Shortcuts and Apple Watch more reliable by allowing a longer timeout period (from 30 seconds -> 120 seconds). Fixed issue of the vehicle name not displaying in the app after the latest firmware update. Fixed the issue of the command menu not showing up on the Apple Watch app when pressing and holding the screen (if it still doesn't show up for you, force-quit the Watch app by pressing the side button, and then swiping the app left and pressing the red X button). Improved reliability with the "Press & Forget" feature where you can press a command before the vehicle wakes up and the command will issue when it is finally awake.
4.7.0
2022-03-23
New Siri/Shortcut instructions so that your Shortcuts/Siri/Automation no longer time out on the iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. Improved Apple Watch graphics and improved login/token security.
4.6.2
2021-03-28
Improved UI graphics when charging. Apple Watch app now shows charging power and rate on the first screen when charging.
4.5.1
2020-12-05
Performance upgrades. Changed the color of the text fields that were hard to view in some iOS versions.
4.5.0
2020-11-21
Fixed the summon/autopark command. Added option to toggle precise stats on the watch complication.
4.4.5
2020-08-31
Added a new "Awaken until Awake (10 sec timeout)" shortcut action. This new shortcut action keeps trying to wake up your vehicle until it is no longer asleep for up to 10 seconds. In some cases, Siri will timeout within 15 seconds, and this short timeout prevents the shortcut from continuing before the vehicle is awake. In that case, add a few of these new shortcut actions at the beginning of your Shortcut. The average time for a vehicle to awaken is 60 seconds. So you want to add at least 6 of these. The "Get Scheduled Charge Status" shortcut now warns you if the charging plug is disconnected.
4.4.4
2020-02-07
Added new shortcut to get your scheduled charging information. Fixed a bug where the charge port wouldn't unlock on the Apple Watch even after pressing "Open Port".
4.4.3
2020-01-24
Quick bug fix to get the battery level (SoC) shortcut to work. Version 4.4.2 notes: You can now open/unlock the port on the Apple Watch even if the plug is plugged in. New Shortcuts added: There's a new "Wait until awake" Shortcut action that will repeatedly wake up your car until it is awake before it continues to the next action in your shortcut. You can now find out if the car is asleep, offline or online without waking up the car. You can now get the current charge limit, time left in charging, state of charge (SoC) in %, estimated/rated/ideal/typical range, charging attributes like amp, voltage, power, and charging speed. Shortcut changes: The shortcut that reports the inside temperature now only reports it in Fahrenheit. There's a separate shortcut if you want it in Celsius. The "Wake Up Tesla" action has been renamed to "Awaken the Tesla". It's recommended to put this at the beginning of your Shortcuts if Siri is too impatient to wait for your vehicle to wake up. Bugfixes: Made it easier to see the car names in the car selection screen for those using Dark Mode. The disable seat heater shortcut now reports the correct status message. The "get charge status" shortcut will now report the battery level correctly. The car's battery level in the app will now be taken from the usable_battery_level reading in the API instead of the battery_level reading. The usable battery level is the one reported in the car and is a better representation of how much battery you have left. It can sometimes be slightly lower than the battery_level, especially when the weather is very cold. The time to full charge will now be taken from the minutes_to_full_charge API reading instead of the time_to_full_charge API reading, because it is slightly more accurate.
4.4.1
2020-01-01
Added two new Shortcuts to try out (get the address at the car's location, and get the coordinates at the car's location). There's also improved reliability of all shortcuts to accommodate vehicles that take longer than usual to wake up. Change the "Wake Time" setting if your vehicle is taking longer or shorter to wake up than the default time of 30 seconds. Some shortcuts that may not have worked for you in the past might work now. Note: If your Shortcut is opening the app instead of executing it, it's because the shortcut changed enough that you need to re-add the action. The Summon and legacy HomeLink shortcuts are the only ones that should be opening the app. Bug fixes: Fixed bug where an error message pops up multiple times because the app automatically re-attempts the command on failure. Fixed bug where the typical/ideal range is displayed at a very high number. The API really is saying that it's 999 miles, but it's most likely just a placeholder number to say that it doesn't exist. Fixed bug where the new v10 HomeLink shortcut action still says (legacy) after you add it to your Shortcut.
4.4.0
2019-12-21
- Added new shortcuts so that you grab stats from your car to use in the Shortcuts app, such as its inside and outside temperature, odometer, charging time, lock status, range left, charge level, if the charging cable is disconnected, and etc.- The navigation shortcut has been updated so that you can send a video url to your car from your Apple device.
- The first page of the Apple Watch app will now show if the car is Online, Asleep, Waking, Offline, Unknown status, and when it's in Sentry mode and/or Valet mode
- There's a new shortcut for triggering the HomeLink that doesn't open the iPhone app first. If it doesn't work for you, it means that you're on an older car firmware, and you need to use the legacy version of HomeLink.
- Complications on the Apple Watch will now update more frequently in the background (you can disable this in the app's settings or even change it to just show a car graphic instead of the range)
- Complication on the Apple Watch now shows a more precise range
- Major bug fixed where the Apple Watch can potentially stop refreshing or hang if the vehicle encounters a poor internet connection
- Apple Watch now shows a more precise range on its first and second screen to match with the way the iPhone app displays it
- Fixed incorrect graphic for opened doors in right-hand drive vehicles
4.3.1
2019-10-14
Added new shortcuts/controls: Open/close windows, Max Defrost on/off, Speed Limit on/off
Opening and closing the window buttons can be found by pressing the car icon with the circle around it.
Complications now update based on how often you use the apps to avoid phantom drain when not using the apps
Opening the iPhone app now updates Apple Watch complications as well, so turn on Background App Refresh for the iPhone app if you want the complication to update more frequently
Minor graphics changes
Fixed a rare bug that caused the Apple Watch to freeze in watchOS 6.
4.3.0
2019-09-26
- Shortcuts for iOS 13 is now fully supported
- New Shortcuts added- Customizable shortcuts that you can edit in the Shortcuts app
- Support for Light and Dark mode
- Fixed a bug with the Seat Heater Shortcut
- Stop Summon button is now moved away from the Cancel button to prevent accidentally closing the menu
4.2.1
2019-06-26
Update 4.2.1 contains a bug fix thanks to Jussi on the Tesla forum thread for pointing out the differences between Rated/Typical range on non-U.S. vehicles. The first page on the Apple Watch now displays the Typical range if you choose the Energy or Typical Range display in your car. The complications also work correctly now for those using kilometers rather than miles. Version log 4.2.0: Watch Complications now displays your battery range and battery percentage left. Added the ability to change the amount of time to wait for your car to wake up before retrying the commands again if it failed. This adjusts the wait time for both the buttons in the app and the shortcuts. If you find that Siri fails too often due to the car still being asleep, extending the wait time by a few seconds could help. If you find that Siri takes too long to respond to your commands, then shortening the wait time by a few seconds could help. Keep in mind that if your car is not asleep, then usually the command would go right through without a need to wait. So don't adjust the wait time based on when the car is awake. Fixed an issue where if you never assigned a name for your Tesla, you couldn't see certain information such as charge time left or whether your car was asleep or not. Added a "Pwr" label next to the charging power display to describe what that number is.

2019-06-19
- Introducing new Queued Commands. Press a command even if your car is asleep and it'll do the command when your car is connected again within the next minute or so. Great if you just want to open the app, press a few commands and then close the app immediately after. This is a major improvement over the Tesla apps where you have to wait for the car to wake up first. No more waiting! This applies for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch app. If you have been having issues with commands not responding reliably in the past when you first open the app (probably because the car is still asleep), then this new major update should help fix that.- New Siri Shortcut: Send address to navigation. Now you can send an address to your car's navigation by simply telling Siri. Set up your shortcuts and destination addresses in the Remote settings. Great for adding to an existing Shortcut you created for your commutes so you have one less button to press when you're in the car.
- New Siri Shortcut: Seat heater. Remotely heat your car seat before you enter the car (if your car is capable of doing so).
- New Siri Shortcut: Steering wheel heater. Remotely heat steering wheel before you enter the car (if your car is capable of doing so).
- Changed the way the charge limit increments on the app. Now when it's between 70-85%, it changes by 5% instead of 10%. And if it's between 85-100%, it changes by 1%.
- Added a new setting for when you want to disable the iPhone interface from rotating when you rotate the device.
4.0.1
2019-05-09
- Fixed the "Unlock Port" button on the Apple Watch. Thanks to "Made in CA" on the Tesla forums for pointing out the bug. If anyone else has any feature or bug requests, come join our Tesla forum discussion on this app. You can get to the thread easily by tapping on the "Remote" logo on the top of the app, and then tapping the forum thread link found on the website that pops up.
- Added "remotes://sentryon" and "remotes://sentryoff" to the URL protocol to control Sentry Mode.
New in version 4.0
- New icon and app name. This app will no longer be called Remote S for Tesla, but just Remote for Tesla instead.
- Added Sentry Mode to the app and Siri Shortcuts
- Major changes to the iOS and WatchOS code for significant improvements to reliability and connectivity (especially to Model 3 and Apple Watch on LTE)
- Now the app will keep trying to wake up your currently selected Tesla if the first wake command failed
- Siri Shortcuts will now try to wake up your car and wait 2 seconds before issuing the command again if the command failed at the beginning. If it fails again, it'll try to wake up your car a third time and retry issuing the command a final time after a 30 seconds wait.
- The app now tells you if the server is connected or not, how old the cached data is (the time if it's under 24 hours and the date if otherwise), and whether your car is asleep, awake, or offline
- Added information next to the car name if it's in Valet Mode or Sentry Mode or both
- Added a current kWh and last added charge amount info for Model 3
- Added more accuracy to the miles to kilometer conversion for more accurate stats
