The\u00a0Tesla Energy<\/a>\u00a0App offers detailed information to drivers about their vehicles\u2019 energy use, and now the automaker has made the feature available on mobile. Tesla\u2019s new mobile app update includes the same Energy App that\u2019s available in its cars, as added in a recent update.<\/p>\n

Tesla<\/a>\u2019s mobile app version 4.16.1 brought with it a new feature that lets select drivers test vehicle range and overall energy use, as detailed in a report from\u00a0Not a Tesla App<\/em><\/a>. The feature is similar to the Energy App that appears in\u00a0Tesla\u2019s vehicles<\/a>\u00a0with last year\u2019s 2022.36 software update, giving users access to more comprehensive information about how their cars run.<\/p>\n

The app’s main feature is the Vehicle Range tab, which breaks down how energy was used in the most recent trip. Additionally, the category lets drivers look at energy consumed while vehicles are in Park. The app breaks down a vehicle\u2019s energy use into the categories Driving, Climate, Elevation, Battery Conditioning and Everything Else.<\/p>\n

Although the mobile app is very similar to the car\u2019s Energy App, Tesla did vouch for removing a few things from the interface on smartphones for a simpler look and feel. The Trip feature, for example, lets users only view the overall expected range, though the in-vehicle app lets drivers switch between the rated range and the projected range.<\/p>\n

The data shown on the app reflects various environmental and road factors, including the temperature, wind speed and direction, overall driving speed and road elevation. Users can also use the app to request service, view video guides, owner\u2019s manuals and more.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Currently, the feature is only available in certain areas, with the first documented update coming from Richard Lopes of Portugal-based EV rental service Watts on Wheels. Not a Tesla App points out that the updated mobile app uses a server-side configuration, allowing Tesla to roll the feature out at any time. Still, Tesla may still be polishing up the app and could still push out fixes before a wider release.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the mobile version of the app is available to owners of legacy Model S units, although these cars don\u2019t include the in-vehicle Energy App. This could suggest that Tesla plans to launch the Energy App in legacy vehicles with future updates, or at least let users use the mobile app in their cars.<\/p>\n

The ability to see detailed energy consumption for vehicles serves to benefit owners, letting them plan better for future trips, see what features consume the most energy and avoid activities that use a lot of energy. In the long run, it should make a major difference for drivers looking to maximize efficiency once it finally rolls out to a wider audience.<\/p>\n
