Summary

  • Tesla’s latest app update for iOS devices enables users to see their vehicle’s Supercharging progress via the phone’s lock screen.
  • Taking advantage of Apple’s Live Activities feature, the update gives real-time charging updates, including time left, current charge, speed, estimated cost and how much energy has been added.
  • The Supercharger Live Activities feature is currently only available when using the company’s public Supercharger stations, not home charging or non-Supercharger stalls.
  • The new feature is available on the Tesla iOS app (version 4.45.0) and was introduced alongside a new ‘Child Left Alone’ function on some models, which alerts owners if they’ve left a child in the car.
  • This new safety feature is currently only available on some new Model 3 EVs in Europe, but Tesla expects to roll it out to other models and regions ‘later’.
