The Tesla Model S is a new sports sedan that features an all-wheel drive system as well as the ability to go from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds.

Apple Watch will be able to control Tesla cars remotely

Owners of Tesla's high-tech electric cars will be able to control various aspects of their vehicles remotely using the Apple Watch and companion app. The app allows navigation and control via multiple screens to monitor the Tesla's battery life and remaining range, track the car's location, lock and unlock the doors, sound the horn, operate the lights, open and close the sunroof and adjust passenger and driver temperatures. While still in beta, the app should be ready to give Tesla owners Bond-like control of their cars by the time Apple Watch ships in April.
