Ratings and reviews

Sometimes my other apps won't share locations with the Tesla app... until I briefly open it, but otherwise the app is amazing. You can monitor the cameras, schedule charging around peak rates, automate your air conditioning, vent windows, etc. It's also easy to transfer ownership of your car upon selling or adding additional drivers.

Twice now, I have been in a pinch and needed to charge, and the app doesn't work. I've restarted my phone, I've updated the app, I've reinstalled the app, nothing. Screen shows add product in left corner at start up, that's it. Sure would be frickin nice if you could do a card swipe transaction. Fortunately there's an EA near me. It's 350kw, not sure why I don't just start there.

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.
