- Heat or cool your car before driving – even if it's in a garage
- 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

I'll start with the only downside, that I can't see sentry clips from my phone. I have the plan to see them but I get the eternal spinning circle. That flaw only knocks it down one star though. I've found the rest very convenient and reliable: scheduled pre-conditioning, walk-away lock (the unlock on approach is a bit more spotty), remote start, charging stats and scheduling, real-time location. Overall I'm very impressed with the app.

For accounts with more than one Tesla, separate supercharging payment methods are needed for each vehicle. It would be useful to have the option to override the payment method when supercharging if you need to separate business and personal expenses. Other than adding more payment options, the Tesla app and continual improvements are great!

The app doesn't maintain a proper connection to the car. When I attempt to open the doors it doesn't recognize my phone. I have to turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on for it to detect my phone. I have looked at location settings, I see that the option for the permission "Allow Always" doesn't exist. It still doesn't work and I complained about this here for months. OnePlus 12 on Android 15. I have reinstalled the app etc. Still not working.
