Tesla is now providing more details on how your location is used in the Tesla app. When the app asks for a user’s location data, it now more clearly explain why it’s important and how it’s used.

This now states:

Tesla collects your location to enable Phone Key, Summon, Roadside Assistance, and finding nearby charging and service locations. If you allow location access all the time, Tesla also uses your location in the background, even when the app is closed or not in use, to notify you of Supercharger wait times when you arrive.

This Tesla app update adds support for tablets and foldable phones, including the iPad and iPhone Duo. On most screens, the app now spans the full width of the device with beautiful large visualizations.

The vehicle visualizations on larger devices are now almost identical to the ones inside the vehicle. They include an ambient background, vehicle reflections and the buttons to open the frunk/trunk, charge port and lock/unlock the vehicle move onto the visualization instead of being buttons in Quick Actions.

The Show PSI button now shows up under the visualization as well, instead of being in Controls.

While not all of the app panels take advantage of the larger device screen yet, most of the major ones do benefit from the larger screen, including Climate, Loation, Self Driving, Summon and Charging.

In the Tesla app, you can already share vehicles and Tesla Energy with other Tesla users, giving them access to your vehicles or Powerwall/solar settings.
