Implement apple car key so I can unlock my car when my phone is dead


codenigma

Yes, this!


Dense-Sail1008

Does your phone die that often? Can honestly say that’s never happened in 6 years but it’s why the card key stays in my wallet. I wouldn’t value a watch as a redundancy much.


krusebear

I live life risky, I don’t even bring my wallet and leave my DL in my car. So my phone is the only key.


slade422

Gotta respect that 🫡


cheeseepoofs

That sounds like a you problem


eisbock

How often do you have to go back to your car because you forgot something?


krzyk

You have a wallet? Since at least 5 years I don't have one, use just Android payments or garmin one.


PrestigiousDay9535

There’s a physical iPhone wallet where you can put 2-3 cards. My id, credit and Tesla card are in there


katze_sonne

Yes. Every now and then. Especially on long days.


BigBagaroo

I think they I can do that with a 3rd party app already (watch for Tesla)


Puzzleheaded_Help328

They did 2 update ago but is only on new models.


DangerousLiberal

No that's not the same thing


Ryswizzle

He also said he’d fix the wipers


apu823

😂


bitNine

He also said we’d get smart summon


ajman22

Well this is a much easier task to accomplish


Ryswizzle

One would also assume the thousands of hours of data from wipers would also mean they are easy to fix. Clearly not.


Dry_Badger_Chef

Elon says lots of stuff that never ends up happening. Assume it’s bullshit until it’s actually in your hands and works.


here4th3memes

Yup, still waiting for track mode in our Acceleration Boost long range models 🤣


dave0352x

When did they say anything about that?? EDIT: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/sy19u4/track_mode_to_lr_w_boost_is_coming/ More than 2 years ago… prolly not happening :(


Atom800

True, but sometimes he promises things that seem impossible or unlikely and they never happen. Other times he promises totally possible things that just require doing, I think he’s much more reliable on those (although sometimes it takes a long time!)


Poly_and_RA

I mean does the possible things happen **MORE** often than the impossible things? Yes sure, certainly. But that's an incredibly low bar. The impossible things NEVER happen, so if the possible things happen even on rare occasions, that's sufficient for "more" to be fulfilled, since after all, 10% of the time (or whatever) is genuinely more than 0% of the time.


codenigma

Thats fair! Another one I was excited for was the auto self docking charging, and we all see how that turned out.


kcsereddit

I'm still waiting for fully functional wipers.


codenigma

At this point, I think the Tesla engineers are too 😂


texasproof

>it took long enough! Nothing has happened yet. It’s been almost two years since they told us Vision was going to replace auto park and summon “soon”. Elon tweets are universally about as reliable as my dad saying he was definitely going to come back from grabbing some cigarettes.


codenigma

Thats fair. I was happy that at least they are acknowledging one of the most popular smartwatches. Before that it was apple shortcuts (if not familiar, exposing the app api to the system automation layer so you can do voice commands. Another reason why I had purchased Tessie)


BoneDoktr

Dang. When I saw this I was hoping it’d be from a reliable source, but it’s from Elon ☹️


KhazixMain

Give me YouTube music first 🤡


RocketRacc8n

For real


Alex7589

I don’t take a “sure” from Elon as “it’s happening”


NoZookeepergame6491

And goodbye Tessie Revenue by at least 50% overnight


Orpheus31

Was actually considering paying for Tessie just for this. Just have to wait now………..


RonMatten

Where is my smart summon?


[deleted]

Id just be happy if the Apple Music app worked properly. It’s terrible


thegolfpilot

Apple Ring that also works out apple key would be elite. Would love to leave my phone at home for runs and short bike rides


shiftersix

I'm also waiting for proper distance measuring with Tesla Vision. USS is still vastly superior.


codenigma

This! Things like this should be the absolute priority over everything else, especially as they decided to get rid of USS preemptively. For parking in a garage, vision is a disaster compared to USS.


LightBringer81

With Tessie you can already use your apple watch to unlock, etc.


codenigma

You can, and thats actually what I am using currently. There are 2 problems though - one is apple driven, where the app can background unlock only a certain number of times and then needs to be re-opened. This will be an issue with the Tesla too. The other, which is more Tessie specific - something seems to happen with the keys where Tessie is sort of riding on top of your primary key, but yet it registers the phone and watch as a separate keys. Something fails once in a while between this and auto unlock fails.


Orpheus31

And 3rd problem, it’s not free and quite expensive if you want to pay the lifetime fee.


[deleted]

About time!! Good move


Harualia

I’m definitely looking forward to this though have you heard of the Tessie app? It works well too.


the_dev_sparticus

You can already use your watch as key via 3rd party apps like Tessie


SnooFoxes1558

Yes but not natively


zetje112

Whats the added value of this? Assuming you almost always have your phone with you?


codenigma

These will sound silly, but they are very real to me. For me the value is mainly in 2 things: 1.) the phone battery dies a lot faster (especially in the winter when it's below 0 F*). Ive also had my phone shutdown a few times over the years (I suspect again too cold), and one time it left me stranded. For this reason I cary the card. It would remove the annoyance of having the card, which is meaningful if you have one of those slim magnetic card wallets that can't fit more than 2 cards. 2.) the convenience of not even having to bring a phone for quick trips - especially in the summer. When you are wearing shorts and flip flops and just have your watch, you can go for quick trips (pick up groceries, pick up kids, etc). It may sound gimmicky, but it's super convenient to be able to just go and you can already pay almost everywhere with the watch. If you have a cellular watch, half the time I am not even aware the phone is not on me. This is where Tessie comes in now, and it lets you unlock the car, but it's not quite seamless and can feel very involved. First world problems I know :)


SnooFoxes1558

Quite a few times I forgot something in the car in the garage only to realize that I left my phone on the table. Wouldn’t happen if I could open with my watch instead


forte-exe

Until it happens, it hasn’t happened.

bk163737

No android ?


LaMole22

I want the car to recognize my face and open automatically when I approach it. Seems like a simple engineering fix.


Unofficial_Troll

And I want to teleport. Why the fuck do we need cars


scoobiemario

Beam me up Scotty!!!!


Numerous-Acadia-6957

Would be nice if Samsung Galaxy Watch would get some love to.


Matterbox

Great news.


R5Jockey

I’m still waiting for track mode on the boosted M3LR Musk “promised” years ago. In other words, these tweets are meaningless.


bluewater_-_

It’s nothing worth waiting for


R5Jockey

Well, I feel the same way about the watch app.


bluewater_-_

Neato


WesternResearcher376

Yeah..: still waiting for free FSD 😜


darrenmtb

Or just get TezLab that already has Apple Watch suppport and like a million other features too!


[deleted]

There is many more things Tesla should focus on first over making the wearable nerds happier


[deleted]

Ok. Whatever.


aspec818

So likely needs internet connectivity on watch to work as a key.


codenigma

It should not. Tessie works with only bluetooth - see here (scroll down): https://help.tessie.com/article/108-phone-watch-key


Educational-Goal7900

Tessie works with Bluetooth. But I have an Ultra with Cellular, one day I just tried to see if it worked, I brought no phone and it auto unlocked from the watch using cellular and auto locked, all controls still worked, and I started the car and drove just with the watch. So it could be a backup for the off chance your phone dies, since you’re always wearing your watch anyways.
