The official app shows you what's happening when you open it. WattsonBot pushes the alerts — and the cost reports — straight to Telegram, automatically.
The Tesla app is great for what it does — lock, unlock, precondition, check state on demand. But it's fundamentally a pull interface: you open it, it tells you. It wasn't built to proactively flag the things you'd actually want to know about while you're not looking:
None of that means the Tesla app is bad — it's just not a notification system. WattsonBot is the layer that watches and tells you, in the chat app you already have open all day.
| Tesla App | WattsonBot | |
|---|---|---|
| How you find out | Open the app and check | Pushed to Telegram automatically |
| Charge interrupted | Not proactively flagged | Alert as soon as it stops before your limit |
| Tyre pressure | Dash warning once it's already low | Per-wheel alert at your configured threshold |
| Left unlocked | Check manually | Alert sent automatically |
| Sentry Mode | Toggle in-app, no confirmation ping | Confirmation alert when it turns on or off |
| Drive summaries | Trip log in-app, no push | Pushed after each drive: distance, efficiency, cost |
| Monthly cost report | Not available | Full report: km, kWh, sessions, cost by tariff |
| Where it lives | Separate app | The Telegram chat you already have open |
To be clear: WattsonBot is read-only. It can't lock, unlock, precondition, or drive the car — you still use the Tesla app for control. Think of WattsonBot as the notification layer bolted onto it, not a replacement.
WattsonBot connects to your Tesla with a read-only refresh token — the same kind of credential third-party dashboards like TeslaMate use. It runs in parallel to the Tesla app; nothing about your account or your car's control changes.

No. You still use the Tesla app to lock, unlock, precondition or control the car. WattsonBot adds the notification and reporting layer the app doesn't have.
The app tells you state when you open it. It doesn't proactively message you about a charge interrupted overnight, a slow tyre pressure drop, or send a monthly cost report — WattsonBot does, in Telegram.
No. The refresh token grants read-only access to vehicle data. WattsonBot cannot send commands to the car, and you can revoke the token at any time from your Tesla account.
No. You log in on Tesla's own page; WattsonBot only ever receives a revocable refresh token.
