So here's my honest take on DRIVE Electric for Tesla. I've tested a bunch of Tesla companion apps and this one's definitely one of the better ones. The core functionality works really well - it's fast, reliable, and integrates seamlessly with the car. I like that it gives you all the essential controls right on your wrist without having to pull out your phone. The watch face is a nice touch too. The main downside is the upcoming change to the Tesla API that will require a subscription for remote access, which is a bummer. But for basic Bluetooth/NFC controls, it's still a pretty useful app.

Been using DRIVE Electric for Tesla for a couple months now. It’s basically a smartwatch app that lets you control your Tesla from your wrist. Pretty solid app if you’re into Tesla and smart home tech.

Here’s what you do: you can lock/unlock the car, check the charge level, and even start/stop the climate control all from your watch. And there’s also a really cool feature where you can use your watch to open the car without your phone – just tap it on the door handle. And the app has a Tesla-themed watch face that looks super sleek.

Look, if you’re a Tesla owner who’s always forgetting their keys, you’ll probably really like this. It’s not perfect – the recent news about Tesla charging devs for API access is kind of a bummer – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to ditch the phone when running errands.
