Can I use Uber app on Tesla Model 3?

Tesla drivers can now connect their vehicles to the Uber app. The new feature allows Uber to schedule rides based on the driver's remaining battery.



In 2026, you can use the Uber app in conjunction with your Tesla Model 3, but not as a native app directly on the car's central touchscreen. Instead, Uber has introduced a highly integrated "Send to Tesla" feature for drivers. When you receive a ride request on your smartphone (which is usually mounted for better visibility), the Uber Driver app can automatically send the passenger's pickup or drop-off location directly to the Tesla Navigation system. This allows you to use the car's massive 15-inch screen for high-definition routing and "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) visualization while managing the ride details on your phone. For riders, the integration allows you to "Sync with Tesla" to share your arrival time or control the car's climate and music if the driver permits it. While there is no "Uber" button in the Tesla app drawer, this seamless "handoff" between the smartphone and the car's computer makes the Tesla Model 3 the most popular vehicle for professional rideshare drivers in 2026.
