Legal security? Theoretically Tesla can go after Apple for permitting 3rd parties access to Tesla’s APIs. AFAIK, API access to Tesla’s cars has been reverse-engineered and isn’t something Tesla publishes themselves so there could me DMCA issues, too. Not trying to state what is actually legal or not but rather Maybe Apple is trying to play it real safe.

I guess on top of that Tesla could stop supporting the API any day, creating a bad user experience.

That literally applies to something like 90% of apps.
