About this app

The Tesla app puts owners in direct communication with their vehicles and Powerwalls anytime, anywhere. With this app, you can:

- Check charging progress in real time and start or stop charging
- 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

DO NOT UPDATE to this version!!! 1. No longer can see time left to reach charging limit. 2. App and car often not in sync - car shows as charging with a 75% limit, app shows a 65% limit, parked. Reloading doesn't help. 3. When in sync - the current charge level shows from the last time the car was seen (37 min ago), even when the car is charging - I have no idea how much % it is except estimating by looking at the slider

WARNING! You will need to purchase a new phone every year or so to keep up with the app versions. I refuse to do this! I am a system admin and there is no reason why an app cannot work on a device that is a few years old. I've also tried to contact the developer, no response as expected. You cannot file a Tesla insurance claim or access any documents without a claim number and you can only get a claim number using the app (that doesn't work anymore)!

I like the constant oversight and the ability to access most of the info that's on the car's main screen. I don't think I could have an EV without most of this capability. I was reminded to submit this review when the car's charging system saw a voltage drop and alerted me. That's the info you need to remain confident in the vehicle parked out of sight.
