At every Supercharger stop, I found myself checking my car's stats on my phone while sitting in front of a beautiful 15-inch screen showing a blank browser page. That felt backwards.
There are great Tesla apps for your phone. I wanted one that lives where you actually drive. So I built it: designed on the road, coded during charging stops (each one a 25-minute sprint), shipped from a hotel room. Thirty days from idea to the App Store.
It's called iCar the Tesla dashboard that lives on the car's own screen (https://geticar.com). Trips drawn on a map, real charging costs, and a couple of controls the Tesla app doesn't offer. I'll save the details for tomorrow.
We go live here in about 8 hours, and there's a little something for the PH community in the listing.
Every Tesla app lives on your phone. iCar lives on the car's own screen: open geticar.com/app in the Tesla browser, scan a QR code, and the blank page becomes a dashboard. Shortcuts as large tiles, weather and a live map, trips drawn with their speed curve, charges with real Supercharger costs, badges - and controls the Tesla app doesn't offer: a charge limit that follows the location (80% at home, 100% at work) and Sentry Mode that arms itself when you park. Free core, premium 14 days free.
