“Alexa, ask Chit Chat for a Tesla summary.”
Your Tesla, by voice
Your Tesla.
Ready when asked.
EV ChitChat is a focused voice experience for the useful moments: ask Alexa how charged your Tesla is, whether it's locked, and tell it to start the cabin climate, without opening an app.
Enable on AlexaQuestions are free. Commands are $2.99 a month with Plus.
“Alexa, ask Chit Chat to start climate.”
Owner-authorized by design
Simple to use.
Deliberate underneath.
Every connection begins with the vehicle owner and uses official Tesla and Alexa authorization flows.

Enable EV ChitChat, tap Link Account, and continue with Google. No codes to type.
Authorize Tesla

Just ask
“Alexa, ask Chit Chat for a Tesla summary.” Same opening for questions and commands.
What you can ask
Ask it anything.
Ask it to act.
Always start with “Alexa, ask Chit Chat,” for questions and commands alike. Every answer comes from one read of your Tesla. Nothing wakes the car, and nothing asks where it is. Questions are free. The five commands marked Plus need a subscription and the virtual key paired once.
Tesla summary
Charge, range, plug, lock, cabin temperature and climate in one breath. Warns only when a tire is low, a software update is waiting, the battery is low, or the cabin is extreme.

When will charging finish?
Time to your charge limit while charging.

Pricing
Free to ask.
Paid to act.
Reading the car stays free because it is the reason you show up. Commands carry real cost and real responsibility, so they sit behind EV ChitChat Plus. Amazon takes the payment; we never see your card.

Less dashboard.
More done.
Reliable before clever
A short list of questions that always work beats a long list that sometimes does.
Official authorization only
Tesla’s own sign-in and permission scopes. We never see your password.
No location or trip data
We never ask where the car is. Position, routes and history are not collected.
No avoidable vehicle wakes
One read, only when you ask. A sleeping car stays asleep.
Questions first.
Reliability always.
Every feature, reading the car or commanding it, ships only after it works consistently with a real owner-authorized vehicle.
