Latest version (4.51.1) or earlier (?) has severely limited my ability to remotely set *charge limit and precondition cabin when vehicle has been asleep for a while. Takes several attempts and app closures only to learn, sometimes, that the command went through and just wasn’t reflected in the app. To top it off, instead of waiting until scheduled charge time, I often find that the car is actively charging (peak time) when I finally get the app to update.This app functions as my car key and does a great job. That said, it also does a great job of letting me manage my car’s charging* and other features which don’t require Bluetooth to be enabled however, every time I open the app without BT or turn off my BT antenna, the app sends an alert about that. I know. I made a conscious decision. Unfortunately, there is no way to disable specific alerts/notifications for this app so the choice is to put up with this and other nuisance alerts or disable all alerts including ones that could be critical (e.g., alarm triggered). Please, give users finite control over alerts and notifications or, at the very least, separate control for status messages vs charging/safety messages.

Update: Dropping this to two stars. All of the below still stands true. I have the lovely added benefit that whenever my car goes to sleep, the widget used to display “asleep”. Now it displays an error icon and says “please open app”. This has been an ongoing issue now for months.All in all the ability to cool/heat my vehicle, remotely open doors, honk the horn, and view where the vehicle is at at any time is amazing! Light years beyond my last car. That said, a few things I think would add a lot of benefit. 1) When setting a charge limit, let me see percentages on the lines. You guys recommend a specific percentage for extended battery life. Don’t make me guesstimate where that is. 2) allow me to either pick and choose or show more options on the widget. Currently, if I want to open the frunk I’m good; swipe right and tap widget button. If I want to open the trunk I have to open the app, tap controls, then open the trunk. Minor, but if I use the trunk far more than the frunk, it gets frustrating. 3) Allow me to view WiFi connection and signal strength from the app. I have a detached garage. I’m trying to find a better location for my router so that my car gets more than one bar of WiFi. Currently I have to move the router, walk to the car and get in, check it...rinse and repeat over and over. I may end up needing to get an extender, but the app would save me a lot of headache if it just exposed this data.

I don't know why it is so difficult for the app developers to keep the Phone Key working. It worked flawlessly from the time I bought my Tesla in June of 2018 until Feb of 2024. I requested a service visit and Tesla told me the issue is the app and not the car. Every other aspect of the Mobile App to Car works flawlessly. The calls and texts work without issue. Bluetooth audio works fine. The map always knows where the car is. The stupid phone key drops left and right - even when I am in the car and driving it. The "Phone Key Best Practices" are useless. The only thing that works is to close the app and re-open it. Every. Single. Time. How hard is it to have the app look at the map and if the phone and car are in the same place, reinitialize the phone key. Maybe a cronjob is needed to do this every 5 minutes. Worse yet, there is no way to communicate with the app developers to get the issue fixed. Why can I request a service through the app and even provide diagnostic info but I can't do anything to get bugs fixed? I am a Site Reliability Engineer and have raved about my car for years but the Phone Key is a true thorn in my side. I am more than happy to assist the developers if I could just get a hold of anyone who can actually do anything about it. I hate having to resort to a one star review but the app developers have left no other choices.

This is a review of the solar energy tracking part of this app. I don’t own a Tesla car. The app works, so I have to give it more than one star, but that’s about it. It has three major problems. First, while it has options for showing energy data on a year, month, week, or day period, when you select one of those options it brings you to the current day, week, etc. If you want to see data from 2 weeks ago, you have to view the current week, then hit the back arrow to go to the previous week, wait for it to get and display the data, and then hit the back arrow again. Repeat as necessary. Suppose I want to see the data for the summer equinox 2 years ago, I repeat these steps some 700 times?! Second, when it is displaying e.g. the days of the month, one would think that tapping on a particular day would bring up the data for that day. Nope, it does nothing. (Granted, tap and hold will show the total generated for that day, but if I want to see the day in detail, it’s back to selecting “by day” , and stepping back day by day.)Third, the algorithm for scaling the vertical axis is brain-dead. Here’s an example of the tic-marks chosen: baseline=0, 1st tic =182, second tic = 364, then 546, 728, and finally topping out 910! I mean really, you couldn’t have figured out to use 0, 200, 400, .. to 1000? The coders for the now-retired browser-based display could do it!
