Ask Genie · Voice
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.
“Hey Siri, wake my Genie” · from anywhere on your iPhone · learns how you talk · any US Tesla · part of Pro Voice, 15 days on us when you connect
Waking Genie while driving
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 only answers when you’re sitting in it.
The next level
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
FSD (Supervised) · the road
What Tesla built
What the car still can’t do
Driver-specific, from the first drive.
Every decision costs something. Tezlo counts.
The part of ownership Tesla doesn’t offer.
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.
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.
“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.
“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.
“Take me home!”
Learns where you park most and sends home straight to the car’s nav - no address needed.
“Drive me to Nordstrom’s.”
Resolves the place and pushes it to your Tesla’s navigation in one tap-free step.
“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.
“Return to where we started.”
Remembers where the trip began and routes you right back to 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
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.
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.
Say it to Siri. Genie opens, greets you by name and listens.
Reroutes on the spot, in your words.
Home, the gym, your next meeting, and any spot you name.
Chargers picked by what is next door.
Trunk, windows, seats and charging, from wherever you are.
One sentence, several steps, done in order.
A text with your live arrival time, from the Tezlo number.
The why from your own car’s data.
The how from Tesla’s owner’s manual for your model - then it offers to do it.
Genie remembers how you want it to behave.
Your own phrase for a request, learned once and understood whenever you say it that way.
The quick answers, without reaching for your phone.
Simple ways to let the Tezlo Genie know you’re done talking.
And when it matters, Genie keeps you safe - it won’t reroute onto anything unsafe, and points you to help in an emergency.
Better together
Tezlo is the only app with a learning voice assistant for Tesla owners: Genie. It runs from your phone, works with your Tesla wherever you are, and uses your car’s live data in every decision. Your car’s own voice is great inside the car, and only inside the car; Genie adds what it can’t reach.
| What you say | Tesla’s voiceGrok and the built-in commands | Genieon your phone, hands-free |
|---|---|---|
| Where it answers | Inside the car, on cars that have Grok. | On your iPhone, wherever you are: the kitchen before you leave, the office lot, the mount while you drive. |
| Waking it hands-free | “Hey Grok”, inside the car. | “Hey Siri, wake my Genie” from the mount: “Hi Rob, how can I help you?” and it listens. |
| Car control by voice | Most in-car commands, from inside the car. | Lock, climate, seats, windows, trunk, charging, Sentry, charge limit and departure time - from wherever you are, in your own words. |
| Several things in one breath | Yes. | Up to four steps in one sentence, done in order. Saying no to one step never cancels the rest. |
| Numbers it wasn’t sure it heard | Acts on what it heard. | A charge limit, a temperature or a time it wasn’t sure of is read back to you before anything happens. |
| When it double-checks | Fixed for every command. | Learns what you want confirmed and what you’d rather it just do. Unlocking and turning Sentry off always ask. |
| Undo | No. | Say “undo” and it reverses - a command, a whole multi-step plan, even something you just taught it. |
| Remembers you | Through your xAI account. | Your places (“the office”), your own phrases (“home James”), your usual settings, your standing rules and your car’s nickname - learned from how you drive and how you talk. |
| Speaks up first | Waits to be asked. | Tells you when it matters: low charge, a cold morning, traffic ahead, a charger stop worth adding, a soft tire. Learns when you’d rather it stay quiet. |
| “Why” answers | General knowledge. | The why from your own car’s data - why your range dropped, what last night’s charge cost at your rate, what that warning means, what Sentry saw - and the how from Tesla’s owner’s manual for your model. |
| Weather | Not by voice. | The forecast at your destination when you send one, and headwind and rain in your range answer. |
| Calendar and texts | Location reminders. | “Take me to my next meeting” from your calendar, and an ETA text to a contact - read back to you and sent only when you say yes. |
| When it doesn’t catch it | Asks you to repeat. | One helpful retry that tells you what you can say, then a real answer. |
| Local shops and services | Not by voice. | Trusted local shops and services for your car, found by voice - a charger with a great coffee spot next door. |
| Safety | Built into the car. | A safety check runs before anything else: an emergency gets you to help, an unsafe request is declined, and driving is always the car’s job. |
