As the first-ever batch of Tesla Semi trucks will be handed over to the corporate customer PepsiCo, the automaker has already updated its mobile app in advance to make room for the Semi.
As Tesla Semi will now join the “production vehicle lineup” of the Austin, TX-based electric automaker, it was inevitable it would be added to the Tesla mobile phone app.
Tesla has added 3D models of the exterior and interior of the Tesla Semi to its phone app to enable owners and users to manage their trucks.
One interesting part of having a Tesla vehicle is how the company’s OEM phone app gives you a level of control over your vehicle. For example, you can set the cabin temperature for cooling or heating before using the vehicle, one can monitor range and battery status, and one can even monitor the surroundings of your vehicle remotely, to name a few of the features.
