Tesla Adds Apple Shortcuts Support, Let's You Control Your Car with Siri

Tesla has announced that it is rolling out support for Apple Shortcuts, a feature that allows users to automate tasks on their iPhone and iPad. With this new feature, Tesla owners can use Siri to control their cars, such as locking and unlocking the doors, starting the car, and adjusting the climate control.

To use Apple Shortcuts with Tesla, users need to create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app. The shortcut can be as simple as saying "Hey Siri, start my Tesla" or it can be more complex, such as turning on the climate control and adjusting the seat settings.

Once the shortcut is created, users can activate it by saying "Hey Siri, run my Tesla shortcut." Tesla owners can also create widgets for their shortcuts, which can be placed on the home screen of their iPhone or iPad.

The addition of Apple Shortcuts is a welcome addition for Tesla owners. It makes it easier to control their cars with voice commands and it can also help to automate tasks.
