Tesla’s official website hints at officially supporting third-party apps and services

On June 29th, Tesla added a new option to its website’s personal settings, allowing users to manage third-party applications. This means that Tesla may soon launch officially supported third-party applications, allowing users to securely and conveniently allow other services to access their vehicle information.

Currently, some third-party applications such as TeslaFi can help Tesla owners track their vehicle usage, but these applications require full access to all vehicle data. With official support for third-party applications, Tesla can provide more detailed control and only share specific vehicle information. This can increase security and improve the availability and functionality of third-party applications.

Support for third-party applications may bring other possibilities, such as Apple Maps’ EVrouting feature, which can analyze a vehicle’s route and battery power in real-time, enabling users to plan their trips more efficiently.

However, there are still many questions that need to be answered regarding Tesla’s support for third-party applications. For example, can any company add support? Will developers need to pay fees for a developer account like with Apple? Will there be API fees or restrictions?

We have noticed that users currently cannot add third-party applications, but they can check which services have access permission on the Tesla website, indicating that this feature may be coming soon. Undoubtedly, this feature can significantly enhance the interaction between Tesla owners, their vehicles, and third-party services.
