Pebble watch app for Tesla owners

Pebsla

Check your car, warm or cool the cabin, open the trunk or frunk, flash the lights, and find your Tesla from Pebble's physical buttons.

Why it feels useful

Small car tasks should not require pulling out your phone.

Pebsla puts the Tesla actions you reach for most on your wrist. It is made for parking lots, cold mornings, quick checks and moments when the phone is buried in a bag.

What the app does

The most common car actions, designed around four buttons.

%

Status

Battery, range, charging, charge limit, cabin and outside temperature, locks, climate, and data age.

A/C

Climate

Turn climate on or off and set the cabin temperature. The watch supports Celsius and Fahrenheit.

GO

Open and lock

Frunk, trunk, windows, unlock, and lock. Risky actions have a confirmation screen on the watch.

N

Find the car

Flash, honk, and heading to the car when vehicle location and phone GPS are available.

Real screens

Large glanceable status. Simple action menu.

Pebsla keeps the watch UI plain and fast: one status screen for the car and one familiar Pebble list for actions.

Designed for owner control

You decide what Pebsla may access, and you can revoke it later.

1

Sign in with Tesla

You sign in on Tesla pages. Pebsla never asks for a Tesla password.

2

Choose your car

Pebsla connects only to the vehicle you approve for this watch.

3

Approve the key

Tesla asks you to approve the virtual key before Pebsla can control the car.

4

Apply watch token

After Tesla login, the callback saves the watch connection to Pebble settings.

Onboarding

Start once, then use it from the watch.

Setup takes a few minutes because Tesla needs to confirm account access and vehicle control. After that, daily use happens from Pebble.

  1. Install Pebsla Install Pebsla: Go check it out in the App Store! Then open Pebsla settings on the phone.
  2. Sign in with Tesla Login happens on Tesla pages. When the callback appears, tap Save to Pebble to save the watch connection.
  3. Pair Virtual Key Open the Tesla Virtual Key link from Pebsla settings and approve the key for the car.

How credits work

Commands use 10 credits. Manual refresh uses 5 credits. If a refresh needs to wake the car, Pebsla asks before using another 5 credits.

Credits make cost predictable while still letting Pebsla avoid unnecessary wakeups where possible. Purchased credits are valid for 1 year.

Security

No Tesla password. Easy to revoke.

Login happens on Tesla pages. Pebsla stores encrypted authorization tokens and gives the watch its own private connection token.

To stop access, remove Pebsla in your Tesla account and remove the Pebsla virtual key from the car. You can also contact support to delete local Pebsla data.

FAQ

Questions that come up right away.

Does status always wake the car?

Usually no. Pebsla shows the last known status first. Manual refresh may wake the car, and that is limited to avoid surprises.

Does Pebsla work without the phone?

Not in this version. The watch uses the paired phone's internet connection.

What happens after the included credits are used?

Manual refreshes and commands need credits. Trial starts with 100 included credits on the connected vehicle, valid for 7 days. Purchased credits are valid for 1 year from the date they are added.

Is Pebsla an official Tesla app?

No. Pebsla is an independent app. It uses Tesla authorization and virtual key flows.
