Tesla revealed its application programming interface (API) pricing this week, which lays out the cost to third-party developers wanting to plug their software into Tesla\u2019s official in-vehicle software systems.<\/b><\/p>\n

Up until this point, <\/span>Tesla<\/span><\/a> has operated without an official API for third-party app developers, which has led to a healthy ecosystem of apps that have been designed, at a relatively low cost, to improve the Tesla ownership experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the most popular third party apps include TeslaFi, which keeps track of driving data and charging history in one handy app, as well as Tessie, which allows smartwatch controls for certain car functionality and has proven popular with fleet managers to track a number of vehicles and help manage costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

We remain hopeful for good outcomes regarding the Fleet API pricing announcements.<\/p>\n

We suspect that starting in January, all third-party services, loved by over a million vehicle owners a day, will see notable price increases to survive. We'll share more on this topic next week. https:\/\/t.co\/FOGMs5wo0v<\/a><\/p>\n
