Tesla's latest product is a $300 wireless phone charger
Tesla's Cybertruck-style Wireless Charging Platform starts shipping in February 2023
The best wireless chargers for Google, Samsung, and OnePlus phones are made by Anker, Belkin, iOttie, and other renowned accessory makers. Some wireless chargers even let you charge multiple devices at once, making them ideal for users looking to wirelessly charge their smartphone, earbuds, and other accessories simultaneously. Tesla, the company known for its electric cars and CEO Elon Musk, has announced the Tesla Wireless Charging Platform, a wireless charger inspired by the "angular design and metallic styling of Cybertruck."
Android Auto cars are available from a breadth of manufacturers, including General Motors, Ford, and Toyota, but one manufacturer notably doesn't support it — Tesla. Instead, the company uses a proprietary Linux-based operating system. But there are ways to use Android Auto in your Tesla if you really want to. TeslAA, which we've reported on a couple of months ago, basically lets you use Android Auto through your Tesla's browser. It's far from a perfect solution, and it comes with its own set of flaws, but it does work. Now, it's finally out of beta.
Android Auto is used by a lot of car manufacturers, and if they don't support that, chances are you can at least use Apple's CarPlay — except for Teslas. Tesla cars use their own operating system for their dashboard, one that's often compared against Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It's exclusive to Tesla cars, and while it has many advantages, sometimes you might want to use something else, but that's currently not natively supported. Fear not, though: thanks to a new hack, Tesla cars can now enjoy Android Auto. Or, at least, they sort of can.
Huge Tesla v4 app update brings all you futurists new controls for your increasingly electric existence
It's still slowly rolling out on the Play Store, but you can grab it on APK Mirror
Cars and home energy are two very different markets, unless you're rich enough to be a repeat customer of Tesla. If that's the case, you can manage your car (or cars) and your home's energy output from the same app. The combined Tesla management app is seeing a sizeable overhaul in its 4.0 release. While it isn't up on the Play Store for everyone yet, a few users are seeing it, and it's been posted to APK Mirror.
PUBG Mobile 1.5 makes you wish you had money for a Tesla (APK Download)
The latest patch for PUBG Mobile is now available
It's been two months, but it would appear that it's time once again to check out the latest patch for PUBG Mobile. Tomorrow marks the release for patch 1.5, and it brings with it a host of changes, including a new design for Erangel that revolves around futuristic tech, and so Tesla (the car company) has managed to sneak its way into this new high-tech theme, which is why a Tesla Gigafactory is part of the fresh redesign for Erangel. On top of this, players can expect new firearms, a new vehicle, as well as a change to the Royale Pass that will award players faster.
It's common for automakers to offer apps that pair with your car, but few of them are as integral to the driving experience as Tesla's app. That's usually a good thing, but it's a bit of a nuisance right now. Tesla's car app has vanished from the Play Store without warning. You can still get it if you know where to look, though.
One of the defining features of recent Tesla vehicles is the massive center touchscreen. It acts as the main control center for the car, with media controls, live camera feeds, maps, settings, and more. It also has a web browser, for some reason, which will soon be replaced with a version using Chromium — the open-source version of Google Chrome.
Tesla just released a massive update for its fleet of cars with improvements to the Autopilot functionality, new dashboard applications, and more. To use all the new features, you'll need the latest version of the Android app, which has just been pushed to the Play Store.
Tesla is still ramping up production for its affordable new Model 3, and the waiting list is already over a year long. But for the lucky few that manage to snag one, the Tesla Motors app for Android was just updated to add support for the new car.
Tesla has the perfect companion for your automotive technological marvel, allowing you to communicate with your vehicle at any time or place. If you happen to be one of the lucky owners of a Roadster, Model S, or X, be looking for this update — you're really going to want to. It brings a completely new design as well as fingerprint authentication for using keyless driving.
Welcome to the future, ladies and gents. Your jacket isn't dry, your pizza isn't freeze-dried, and your car can't fly, but if it comes from Tesla, it's still pretty cool. If you also happen to have an Android Wear device, you can pretend to be Michael Knight by talking to your car through your watch, thanks to the unofficial Tesla Command app for Wear. Unfortunately it won't talk back, unless you count honking the horn.
The Tesla line of electric vehicles are marvels of modern transportation technology, but they also come with a healthy does of consumer tech. Tesla's Model S comes with an advanced 17-inch touchscreen dashboard system running on Linux. When CEO Elon Musk was asked recently if app developers would get to play in the Tesla ecosystem, he had a surprising response. Apparently, the future of Tesla could include Android.
If you can afford a Tesla electric car (in addition to the car you drive when you have to go more than three hundred miles), odds are pretty good that you can afford a Google Glass Explorer unit, too. If you happen to have both, in addition to the envy of every working class geek on the Internet, a developer has just enabled you to combine your favorite technological excesses. GLASSTESLA mixes the functions of the official Tesla app with the always-on, ever-ready nature of Glass to make you and your car into an ultra-efficient crime-fighting duo. You don't actually have to fight crime. But you totally could.
Our demographics adviser tells us that there might just be five people on earth who are both regular Android Police readers and Model S owners. But if a quick scan of the office is a valid measure of interest, there's at least a few of you who are excited by the prospect of an official Tesla app, even if a longing glance is as close as we'll ever get to driving one. For you lucky devils who have an all-electric sedan sitting in your four-car garage, take a quick stroll over to the Play Store to get your companion app on.
