Austin, October 22: Elon Musk's Tesla is reportedly working on a smartwatch app that helps customers integrate their EVs and get details. Tesla recently introduced the FSD (Full Self-Driving) mode on Cybertruck and said it would be available in the EV pickup truck. Elon Musk's EV firm recently unveiled its autonomous or self-driving Robotaxis during the "We, Robot" event along with the upgraded Tesla Optimus humanoid robot.

Amid these upgrades, a report from Teslarati surfaced, saying that  Tesla would also introduce a dedicated app compatible with smartwatches, bringing the long-awaited feature. The report said the information about the upcoming Tesla app for smartwatches was obtained from coding. Elon Musk's EV firm had paused integrating its cars to the smartwatches for a considerable period. Tesla customers have requested EV integration with their smartwatches for years. Tesla Cybertruck Becomes Third Best-Selling EV in United States With More 2.3x Sales Than Rivals, Elon Musk Praises.

Tesla Working on New Features and Tech Upgrades After Rolling Out FSD for Cybertrucks 

Tesla operated its mobile application on the iOS platform and Android-based smartphones. However, the priority was the iPhone users. In the future, the electric vehicle manufacturer is said to move towards a dedicated smartwatch app that would allow users to check the required details directly from their wrists. 

Besides this development, a user on X (@Tesla_App_iOS) posted that Tesla had also been working on the Reverse ASS (Actually Smart Summon), which would likely offer details about where the electric car was parked and other updates while it would look for parking. The company is also said to be working on an iOS SDK updated to use the iOS 18 framework. Tesla Actually Smart Summon: EV Owner Shares How ASS Feature Works Using Tesla App, Car Automatically Drives Itself Towards Him (Watch Video).

Tesla Cybertruck was not eligible for the FSD until the company rolled out this feature for the car, which would be available until the end of 2024. Sawyer Merritt, a supporter and investor of Elon Musk's Tesla company, said that the customers could transfer FSD for free to "new Model S/3/X/Y or Cybertruck if you take delivery by December 31, 2024."
