Nuked Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to bring you some exciting news from the world of technology. Today, we’re diving into the latest update from Tesla’s app, and trust me, it’s a game-changer for all you iPhone users out there.
So, here’s the scoop – Tesla’s app just got a major update to version 4.24.0, and it brings with it a nifty feature that many of us have been waiting for. Now, you can use Apple Shortcuts automations with Siri, without having to rely on third-party apps like Tessie.
Now, you might be wondering what this means for you as a Tesla owner. Well, let me break it down for you. With this new update, you can access your vehicle controls and climate settings directly from the Apple Shortcuts app. All you have to do is summon Siri and say the name of your automation.
Now, I’ll admit, it’s not as seamless as having Siri fully integrated into the Tesla app. To trigger your Shortcuts automations, you’ll need to remember the names you’ve given them and repeat them exactly as they are. But hey, it’s a small price to pay for the convenience of using Siri, right?
But wait, there’s more! The release notes may not do justice to the full capabilities of this feature. According to reports, you can use Shortcuts to control various modes like Dog Mode or Bioweapon Defense Mode. You can also perform actions like closing all windows, adjusting media volume, opening your frunk (that’s Tesla-speak for front trunk), or setting a charge limit – all with just your voice!
So, if you’ve set up automations in the Shortcuts app, you’re in for a treat. Need to activate Bioweapon Defense Mode? Just ask Siri. Want to set a specific temperature in your car? Siri’s got your back. The possibilities are endless!
Here’s a handy list of all the commands you can try, courtesy of Not a Tesla App:
- Bioweapon Defense Mode
- Camp Mode
- Defrost
- Dog Mode
- Precondition Vehicle
- Set Seat Heater (seat position and heat level)
- Set Temperature (choose climate temperature)

Who knows what other exciting features Tesla has in store for us in the future? Until then, keep enjoying the wonders of technology and stay tuned for more updates!
Cheers,
Nuked
