Ratings and reviews

Initial experience was excellent - was able to customize charging times based on carbon intensity or price, and schedule departure so car was ready when I left for work. However after a recent update, the scheduled departure feature no longer works correctly, and turns on climate control every day (regardless of what is selected in the app). What an incredible waste of energy! The only solution was to turn off the scheduled departure feature entirely. Very frustrating!

Cool when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. App stopped reporting when the car charged and cost of the charge, and stopped setting the car to charge off-peak. Those are the two main reasons I installed it, so now it's useless. I tried deleting the Tesla and adding it again but it didn't work. The app is a black box that doesn't tell you what's happening when things aren't working. It took way too long to update my electricity rates (SCE rates are wrong for everyone).

Downloaded this to see if it would give me a more accurate depiction on the cost of my charging habits and how much I'm saving compared to an ICE vehicle. Unfortunately, it was only accurate for my first 2 charges. According to an email I exchanged with them prior to this, they can see my charging numbers are accurate on their side, but for some reason don't pull over to my (user) end. May try again in the future if that can be fixed.
