- 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

The app is great and I love all the data it provides on my M3! However, the app doesn't use the UWB (Ultra Wide Band) radios on Android phones that have the capability. I get why this is hard to do on Android, but you're Tesla for God sake. I just want to be able to use the amazing features you all are creating, so please enable UWB on phones that are capable of using it.

I'm sending them a feature request for the App notifications. It tells me about extreme weather events, but doesn't notify me about the most important thing - when the powerwall is down. I just noticed that someone turned off the outside power switch. It's been off for over a month and I was running my AC during the heatwave like an idiot thinking I was on solar. The powerwall crashed and needed to be replaced a couple of months before. I didn't notice that for a couple of weeks. Notify me!

As of v.4.37.5 (on Android), app now requires my phone location to be turned on in order to view the car's location. WHY?? It has always worked just fine without this in the past (although with an annoying nag to turn on Location each and every time). By choice I have Location services turned off when I don't need them. Please revert to not requiring phone Location!
