We recently saw the new Tesla app for the Apple Watch from Developers Eleks Labs, and now the company has made a version of their app for Google’s Android Wear platform.
According to Eleks Labs, they were approached by Google to make a Tesla app for Google’s Android Wear platform. Have a look at the video below.
When our Apple Watch Tesla App spreaded out, we were asked by Google, some Tesla drivers, and lots of other folks to perform something similar with Android Wear.
And so we did. In this article, we’ll share our impressions from creating the same app for a different platform, talk about the possibilities and limitations of Android Wear for creating consumer apps, and basically compare Apple Watch and Android Wear in neat details.
Development Process and Challenges
Creating an app for a different platform always comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. For Eleks Labs, the transition from Apple Watch to Android Wear was no different. The development team had to adapt to the unique features and limitations of the Android Wear platform. One of the primary challenges was ensuring that the app’s user interface was intuitive and user-friendly on a variety of Android Wear devices, which come in different shapes and sizes.
Moreover, the team had to consider the different hardware capabilities of Android Wear devices compared to the Apple Watch. For instance, some Android Wear devices have more advanced sensors, while others might have better battery life. These variations required the developers to create a flexible app that could perform optimally across all devices.
Features and Functionality
The Tesla app for Android Wear offers a range of features designed to enhance the Tesla driving experience. Users can remotely control various aspects of their Tesla vehicle directly from their smartwatch. Some of the key functionalities include:
– Remote Start and Stop: Users can start or stop their Tesla vehicle remotely, which is particularly useful in extreme weather conditions.
– Climate Control: The app allows users to adjust the climate settings of their car, ensuring a comfortable temperature before they even step inside.
– Battery Monitoring: Users can keep an eye on their vehicle’s battery status, including charge level and estimated range.
– Location Tracking: The app provides real-time location tracking, making it easier to find the car in crowded parking lots.
These features are designed to provide Tesla owners with a seamless and convenient way to interact with their vehicle, enhancing the overall driving experience.
