- Lock or unlock from afar
- Locate your vehicle with directions or track its movement
- Send an address from your favorite apps to start navigation in your car
- Allow your passengers to quickly control media
- Flash lights or honk the horn to find your vehicle when parked
- Vent or close the panoramic roof
- Summon your vehicle out of your garage or a tight parking space (for vehicles with Autopilot)
- Update your vehicle software from wherever you are
- Engage with Powerwall: monitor how much energy is stored from solar, used by your home, or exported to the grid
- Download your solar production and battery usage data

Note: Powerwall features in this app require Powerwall 2

Ratings and reviews

Tesla needs to give users complete control over notifications. I really really really do not need a notification every time my phone is connected or disconnected from the car. There are some granular controls around notifications in the app but unfortunately this obvious one is not one of those controls. I only want a notification if something absolutely needs my attention and that doesn't even come close to fulfilling the criteria.

App provides basic functionality you'd expect for a modern car, but is too slow to startup, load screens, and download data (regarding car status). Fails to text properly in Service appointment messaging, responding at a snail's pace as if each letter input triggers a heavy calculation. Also does not provide integration with Garmin smart watches (eg to open frunk or precondition). Another problem: cannot toggle Sentry mode back off: opens camera view instead.

I just tried contacting support from the email address provided right here, and it says this email address is no longer monitored. I'm tired of getting false notification saying my doors are unlocked especially when I'm sitting in the car while it's charging. This is never happened before fix it. I wouldn't mind if it was just once and gone, but I swipe it away and it pops back up a few seconds later. Someone will read this and actually do something about it for once, but I doubt it.
