- 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

The app does what it's designed to do, and it seems to be reliable. 5 stars for that. But, it's the GUI of the charge stats that is terrible. More control needed. Most people live with other people, who want you to pay for your KWH. The electricity company doesn't read the meter on the 1st of the month. You have to hold a day to get data from a day, and only while you hold it. Make that clickable. Make the calendar a searchable, like your bank does for transactions. Make the data exportable.

App keeps crashing and fails to communicate with the car, open the car, and start it. Brand new S25 Ultra. I even factory reset the phone and configured everything fresh. Still failing. Update 10/7/2025: app doesn't crash anymore, but now relentlessly chews through my battery. I'm talking an entire charge from 100% to 0% within hours. really disappointing because, ya' know, it's my car key.

Disconnects constantly, doesn't update the status, or the current battery level. It does show that it is charging but doesn't update the charging percentage. Shows it was last seen days ago, when I use the app to lock/unlock the car multiple times a day. All the controls work just fine with little to no delay, so that is good. That is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.
