Ask Genie · Voice

Tesla created FSD. Tezlo takes it to the next level!

Tesla’s pitch: “Your Tesla Can Handle It.” It can - FSD (Supervised) handles the road. Tezlo handles everything else: a voice assistant that learns you, saves you money, and plugs you into the Tesla owners and trusted shops around you. Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, and just say it.

Waking Genie while driving

Say “Hey Siri, wake my Genie.” Hands stay on the wheel.

Phone in the mount, eyes on the road. Say it to Siri and your Genie appears: “Hi Rob, how can I help you?” Then just talk: “take me home”, “get me out of this traffic jam”, “text Carey my ETA”. No tapping, no hunting for the app. Face ID from the mount unlocks the phone for you.

And because Genie lives on your iPhone, it is everywhere you are. Warm the car from the kitchen, check it’s locked from the office, send tonight’s restaurant to the car before you walk out. The car’s own voice takes car commands only when you’re sitting in it.

  • “Hey Siri, wake my Genie” - the Genie greets you by name (“Hi Rob, how can I help you?”) and listens. The phone has to be unlocked; Face ID from the mount does that without a touch.
  • From anywhere: the mount, the kitchen, the office lot. Not just inside the car.

Your home, by voice

“Open the garage.” “Run Movie Night.” Genie runs your Apple Home too.

Lights, locks, the garage, the thermostat, your scenes: anything in your Apple Home, from the mount on the way in or from the kitchen. Say “turn on the porch light”, “set the house to 70”, “is the garage closed?”, or run a scene by name. Hue rooms work too: “turn on the office” plays the room’s own scene, and “save these lights as Movie Night” turns the lights as they are into a new scene.

With Coming Home on, Genie tells you “Tezzie is 8 minutes from home” and your Home scene is ready when you walk in. Pro, and off until you turn it on in Profile.

  • A garage, a door or an alarm always asks first: “Open the garage?” Only “yes” or “open it” opens it. “Is it already open?” is a question, and Genie treats it as one.
  • Apple lets apps run your home only while they are on screen, so Genie does this with Tezlo open. By Siri, Genie opens Tezlo first and then runs it; a locked phone is asked to open Tezlo.
  • Away from home you need a home hub (a HomePod, an Apple TV or HomeView), and the garage needs an opener that works with Apple Home.
  • Your accessory, room and scene names stay on your iPhone. Tezlo keeps only whether a home command ran.

The next level

FSD drives the road. Who drives the rest of your day?

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is the most remarkable thing in the car. It is also where the car’s attention ends. Everything around the drive is still on you.

Tezlo · the rest of your day

  1. “Head home”your places
  2. “What’s my next meeting?”your calendar
  3. “Let Mom know I’m on my way”sent from the Tezlo number
  4. “A charger with a taco place next door”chargers, your way
  5. “What did that charge cost?”answered from your data
  6. “Saturday Get Away”owners near you

FSD (Supervised) · the road

What Tesla built

The car handles the drive.

  • FSD (Supervised) navigates the trip while you supervise, so a long weekend on the road is easier than it has ever been.
  • Tesla says an FSD drive uses less energy than the same miles driven by hand (Tesla Impact Report 2025), so it goes farther on a charge.
  • Trip Planner routes you through Superchargers, and the car’s own voice runs the cabin.
  • Tezlo shows you how much of every drive was on FSD, in your history, so you can see it earn its keep.

What the car still can’t do

Talk to it like it knows you.

  • It doesn’t know your places. “Let’s go home”, “take me to work instead”, “go to Mom’s house”: Genie does.
  • It doesn’t learn you. Genie learns your words, when you want to be asked, and when you’d rather it stayed quiet.
  • It can’t reach your day. Genie reads your calendar, texts your ETA, and tells you why your range dropped.
  • It picks a charger. Genie picks the charger with a yoga studio, a dog park, or a taco place next door.

Learns you, not “the user”

Driver-specific, from the first drive.

  • Your places, taught by voice or learned by arrival. Your phrases: “home James” means take me home, because you said so.
  • Your usual settings: the charge limit, the cabin temperature.
  • Your rules: “always ask before unlocking”, “never wake the car after 10 pm”.
  • When to confirm and when to just do it, learned from how you answer.

Saves you money

Every decision costs something. Tezlo counts.

  • Never wakes your car just to check on it: it reads its own live data first.
  • Prices your home charging at your peak and off-peak rates, and tells you what a charge cost.
  • Chargers picked for the stop, so the time you spend charging is time you enjoy.
  • Local shops pay only when they earn your call or booking, never to be listed, so the picks are honest.

A community, not a service center

The part of ownership Tesla doesn’t offer.

  • Get Aways: plan a drive with other owners, invite friends, share the photos.
  • Stories and local activities from Tesla owners near you.
  • Trusted local shops for PPF, tint, tires, detailing and charger installs, by voice.
  • Tezlo Ambassadors: owners who bring shops in and earn from it.

Tesla’s headline quoted from Tesla’s FSD email of September 7, 2026. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires the driver to remain attentive and ready to take over at any time; Tezlo never drives your car. Tezlo is not affiliated with Tesla, Inc.

Just say it.

Real things you can say while you drive - no menus, no perfect phrasing. Genie gets the intent. Genie by voice is part of Pro Voice; connect your Tesla and the first 15 days are on us.

Reroute

“Get me out of this traffic jam!”

Finds a faster way around the backup, routes you onto it, then snaps you back to your destination once you’re past it. Spots ten minutes of delay before you do, and asks first.

Charging

“Find somewhere to eat while my car charges.”

Picks a charger with a good spot within a short walk - so the stop is time you actually enjoy.

Navigate

“Take me home!”

Learns where you park most and sends home straight to the car’s nav - no address needed.

Send to Tesla

“Drive me to Nordstrom’s.”

Resolves the place and pushes it to your Tesla’s navigation in one tap-free step.

Range

“Can I make it home on this charge?”

Reads your battery, the route, and the headwind or rain on the way, to answer straight - with the percentage you’ll arrive with.

Reverse

“Return to where we started.”

Remembers where the trip began and routes you right back to it.

Teach it

“When I say “home James”, take me home.”

Learns your own phrase for a request and does it from then on, in your words. Corrected a mishearing? Say “learn that as a colloquialism” and it learns that too.

Learns you

It gets smarter every time you talk to it.

Most apps make you learn their commands. Genie does the opposite. It uses reinforcement learning - the kind of AI that improves from feedback - to learn how you tell your car what to do. Every time you confirm or wave off a suggestion, it gets better: it understands your phrasings faster and asks fewer questions the more you drive.

  • Fully hands-free - built for driving, not scrolling. “Hey Siri, wake my Genie” and you’re talking.
  • Learns your words - fewer taps and questions the more you drive. Teach it outright: “when I say home James, take me home”, and it does, in your words.
  • Safe by design - unlocking and turning Sentry off always ask first, and a number it wasn’t sure it heard is read back before anything happens.

A whole vocabulary, not a few commands.

Genie learns the hundreds of ways drivers actually talk, and reaches past the car’s built-in voice: your calendar, your contacts, your own places, and why your car did what it did. Say it your way.

Wake it from the mount

Say it to Siri. Genie opens, greets you by name and listens.

  • "Hey Siri, wake my Genie."
  • "Hey Siri, summon my Genie."

Meet your Genie

The first two sessions open with a welcome: your name, the car’s nickname, a tour of the commands, things to try.

  • "Start here, Genie."
  • "Give me the tour, Genie."
  • "What can I say?"
  • "Goodbye, Genie."

Beat the traffic

Reroutes on the spot, in your words.

  • "Get me out of this traffic jam."
  • "Is there a faster way?"
  • "Get me off the freeway."
  • "There’s construction ahead, go around it."

Your places

Home, the gym, and any spot you name, straight to the car nav.

  • "Let’s go home."
  • "Drive me to the gym."
  • "Take me to the office."
  • "Remember this spot as the office."
  • "Take me to the Safeway we usually go to."

Your week

Seven days of your calendar, read aloud. Next and back walk it; yes sends the meeting to the car nav, no keeps walking.

  • "What’s my next meeting?"
  • "What do I have on Saturday?"
  • "What’s my third meeting on Saturday?"
  • "Next." - and the one after it is read
  • "Take me to the UCLA meeting."

Your trips, told

A past Get Away becomes a Story: the composer opens filled in from the trip, and you tap Post.

  • "Read me my Get Aways."
  • "The one before that."
  • "Post this trip as a story."
  • "Show me the photos of my Tahoe trip."
  • "What’s my Get Away this weekend?"

Charging, your way

Chargers picked by what is next door.

  • "Get me coffee near the fastest charger."
  • "Find a fast charger on the way to Tahoe."
  • "I’m running low - where can I charge?"
  • "Find a charger with a dog park next to it."
  • "Find an Electrify America."
  • "Find a charger, not EVgo."

Control the car

Trunk, windows, seats and charging, from wherever you are.

  • "Pop the trunk."
  • "Vent the windows."
  • "Warm the back seats."
  • "Charge to 80."
  • "Leave at 7:30 tomorrow, cabin warm."

Say it all at once

One sentence, several steps, done in order.

  • "Turn on the AC and take me home."
  • "Set it to 68 and unlock the car."
  • "Pop the trunk and vent the windows."
  • "Undo." - and the whole thing reverses, even something you just taught it

Let people know

A text with your live arrival time, from the Tezlo number.

  • "Text Carey my ETA."
  • "Tell Greg I’m on the way."
  • "Send Rob my ETA, and let him know I’m bringing a bottle of wine."
  • "What’s my ETA?"

The weather, where you are

Right now, the rest of today, tonight or tomorrow, and at your destination once one is set.

  • "What’s the weather today?"
  • "Is it going to rain?"
  • "Do I need a jacket?"
  • "What’s the weather when I get there?"

Ask why

The why from your own car’s data.

  • "Why is my range dropping?"
  • "What did that charge cost?"
  • "What does that chime mean?"
  • "Was anyone near my car last night?"

Ask how

The how from Tesla’s owner’s manual for your model - then it offers to do it.

  • "How do I turn on dog mode?"
  • "How does camp mode work?"
  • "How do I pair my phone as a key?"
  • "What is chill mode?"

Set your rules

Genie remembers how you want it to behave.

  • "Always ask before unlocking."
  • "Never wake the car after 10 pm."
  • "Stop suggesting chargers."
  • "Call my Model Y the truck."

Teach it your words

Your own phrase for a request, learned once and understood whenever you say it that way.

  • "When I say home James, take me home."
  • "If I say let’s roll, start the climate."
  • "Learn that as a colloquialism." - right after you correct what it heard
  • "Forget that phrase."
  • "That was wrong." - rates the answer it just gave, so it learns

Just ask

The quick answers, without reaching for your phone.

  • "What’ll I arrive with?"
  • "Am I going to be late?"
  • "Is my car plugged in?"
  • "Can I run the AC and still make it home?"

Your home

Genie runs your Apple Home from the mount or the kitchen. A garage, a door or an alarm always asks you first.

  • "Turn on the porch light."
  • "Turn off all the lights."
  • "Is the garage closed?"
  • "Open the garage." - and it asks, "Open the garage?"
  • "Lock the front door."
  • "Set the house to 70."
  • "Turn it back on."
Coming in Tezlo 1.2

Your scenes

Any Apple Home scene by name, a room’s own scene, and a new scene saved from the lights as they are now.

  • "Run Good Night."
  • "Turn on the office."
  • "Bring back Movie Night."
  • "Save these lights as Movie Night."
  • "Save the office lights as Focus."
Coming in Tezlo 1.2

Coming Home

A heads-up minutes before your Tesla gets home, and your Home scene ready when you walk in. Pro, and off until you turn it on.

  • "Tell the house I’m on my way."
  • "Turn on Coming Home."
  • "Tell me 10 minutes before I get home."
  • "Use Movie Night for Coming Home."
Coming in Tezlo 1.2

Your week, answered

A yes or no from your calendar, and an event added after you say yes.

  • "Am I free Saturday at 4?"
  • "Am I free tomorrow afternoon?"
  • "Add dinner with Greg Saturday at 7."
  • "Put the dentist on my calendar Tuesday at 2."
Coming in Tezlo 1.2

Your trip, as a document

Notes kept on the Get Away itself, after a yes. Only you see them, never your guests.

  • "Add the confirmation number ABC123 to my Tahoe trip."
  • "Add the cabin address to Saturday’s Get Away."
  • "Put the door code on my beach trip."
Coming in Tezlo 1.2

Your family

Every family Tesla on one map, and who is in which car. Nobody’s phone shows until they turn sharing on.

  • "Show me all my cars."
  • "Where is Carey’s car?"
  • "Is Carey driving?"
  • "Where is Carey?" - and if Carey isn’t sharing, Genie offers to ask
Coming in Tezlo 1.2

Your morning

A standing rule for the drive to work: the cabin at your temperature before you leave.

  • "Always warm up the car for my morning drive."
  • "Make sure my car is at my perfect temperature for my morning drive."
  • "Cancel my morning routine."

Dismiss the Genie

Simple ways to let the Tezlo Genie know you’re done talking.

  • "Goodbye."
  • "That’s all."
  • "Thanks Genie, that’s it."
  • "Cool, bye."
  • "I’m done."
  • "Have a great day."
  • "Back to Genie." - and the full listener returns after it opened a screen

And when it matters, Genie keeps you safe - it won’t reroute onto anything unsafe, and points you to help in an emergency.

Genie and Grok

How Genie improves your Tesla voice experience.

Grok lives in the car. Genie lives on your iPhone, and goes where you go. Grok can’t warm your car while you finish breakfast, or send your 9am meeting’s address to the car from your desk. Genie can.

And Genie is built to learn you: your places, your rules, your own words, with your car’s live data in every answer. Grok stays in the car. Genie goes with you.
