Yup. And a lot easier to slip into your pocket, considering the ludicrous size of today's tablets-masquerading-as-mobile-phones. >From what I've read, you can own and drive Teslas and other EVs without using a smartphone, though you might lose some features. (In some EVs, some of the features may still be available from the car touchscreens.)
