Create a Shortcut

Creating a Shortcut in iOS allows you to do several powerful things, including:

• Creating your own custom voice commands. For example, "Hey Siri, get the car ready".
• Combining multiple actions into one. For example, you can have a single Shortcut that starts the climate, sets the interior temperature and heats up the steering wheel.
• Automating your Tesla using scheduling triggers. For example, every weekday at 7AM you can start the climate and start charging the vehicle to 100%.
• Adding controls directly to your home screen.
• Controlling your Tesla by tapping the back of your iPhone.

How to create a Shortcut

1. Open the Shortcuts app and tap + in the top right corner. For Apple Watch, make sure you create the Shortcut in the Apple Watch shortcuts folder.
2. Tap Add Action > Apps > Tessie > Start Climate (or any command you want.)
3. Tap the name of the shortcut at the top of the screen and then tap Rename.
4. Enter any phrase you like, like "Get the car ready".

You're done! You can now say "Hey Siri, get the car ready" on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and HomePod.
