Tesla Supercharging info now shows up as Live Activity on iPhone

Tesla has updated its iPhone app with support for Live Activities.

The 关键字2latest iteration of the company's iOS app, with the version number 4.45.0, will show Supercharging info as a Live Activity on the iPhone, provided it runs iOS 17.2 or later.

When you plug into a Tesla Supercharging station, a Live Activity will show up on your iPhone's lock screen with details about your charging session. This includes how much time you have left until charging is done, estimated cost of the session, charging power, speed, and added mileage.

The feature is nifty as it lets you see where your Supercharging session is at with just a quick a glance at your phone. If you have an iPhone with a Dynamic Island (that's iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max or later), you'll also get a simple overview of your charging session there, with both a visual and textual representation of how much time it'll take until the charging is complete.

Superchargers will charge you an idle fee if you leave your car plugged in too long, so this could actually save you a few bucks if you're the forgetful type.

Unfortunately, the feature currently ends with Supercharging; there's no support for charging at home or at third-party charging.

According to Not A Tesla App, though, the Live Activity could one day support Supercharger queue status, as well as roadside assistance status.
