This Tesla app update adds support for tablets and foldable phones, including the iPad and iPhone Duo. On most screens, the app now spans the full width of the device with beautiful large visualizations.

The vehicle visualizations on larger devices are now almost identical to the ones inside the vehicle. They include an ambient background, vehicle reflections and the buttons to open the frunk/trunk, charge port and lock/unlock the vehicle move onto the visualization instead of being buttons in Quick Actions.

The Show PSI button now shows up under the visualization as well, instead of being in Controls.

While not all of the app panels take advantage of the larger device screen yet, most of the major ones do benefit from the larger screen, including Climate, Loation, Self Driving, Summon and Charging.

In the Tesla app, you can already share vehicles and Tesla Energy with other Tesla users, giving them access to your vehicles or Powerwall/solar settings.

However, Tesla appears to be expanding this by letting you share your Wall Connector with other users as well.

This update states “After joining, you can charge with this Wall Connector and manage its charging settings. You can leave any time. The owner can view charging activity related to you, such as charge history.”

This upcoming feature will let users share their Wall Connector with up to five users, instead of having to share their whole Tesla Energy site, which includes the home’s address and controls of their Powerwall and solar panels.
