Instead of scanning QR codes and entering passwords like before, users can open the locks with one click through the latest app.
Tesla’s app for China was updated today to make it easier for users to unlock charging spaces at Superchargers.
After updating the app to the latest version 4.3, users can select an unused charger number on the app’s charging map when arriving at a Supercharger station and open the lock with one click.
Previously, users had to scan the QR code next to the Supercharger with apps including WeChat at the Supercharger station and enter a code obtained from the vehicle map to unlock the ground lock.
The Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) app’s changelog shows that users in some countries and regions can access the Sentry mode camera in real-time, though this is not yet available in China.
