Tesla is reportedly working with Apple on a project that will let drivers charge its Model S vehicles with their iPhones.

Leaked images of the update published by 9to5Mac don't provide exact details on how the system will work, but it is indicated that the feature will be released when Apple unveils its new iOS 8 system in late fall, according to SiliconBeat.

Rumors about a Tesla-Apple collaboration began last year when Elon Musk, CEO of the electric car maker, visited the tech giant at the time. While that rumor has been debunked, the new reported partnership may be what the meeting was about.

Tesla is allegedly scheduled to release the full update for its vehicles in early September, and is also set to release a Tesla Android app "in a few weeks," PC Magazine reported.

The automaker wrote on a forum poster that the car has a good chance of being stolen due to the app's lack of security.

"Once an attacker has your username and password which again is very easy to compromise, (even a simple spam phishing email could dup anyone into logging into tesla online (a fake dup site) which would compromise your credentials), then they can use the app to #1) locate your car using the GPS feature, #2 unlock the car via the unlock feature, and now #3 start your car and drive off," the poster added.
