Thank you. So the app disconnects when it's out of bluetooth range but it can connect through WIFI or cell. Why doesn't it simply stay connected in either WIFI or cell? I get that it disconnects once outside of bluetooth range but I don't get how it's able to reconnect simply by opening the app...

Hello. I have never quite understood what 'disconnected' means on the mobile app. I thought it meant 'disconnected from bluetooth' but when I click on the app it then connects to the car so that can't be right. What does 'disconnected' actually mean? Why does it disconnect at all? Is it to save...

Hello, Just got a smart watch for my birthday and took it out without my phone but of course couldn't get into the Tesla or indeed do anything with it. Wondering if anyone uses a smart watch with a Tesla app and if so which app to recommend. Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

I I wouldn't be able to afford the car in the first place if I had a habit of burning money on things I had absolutely no use for. I'd rather buy more beer.

Makes sense, thank you

This looks really interesting, thank you for sharing, I'm going to give it a crack. PS I thought the map on the tesla was a google map, no?

Scrap that, I just reread Spsheridan's helpful answer and it's all there. I wonder why Sentry Mode needs Premium connectivity?

OK thank you for your thoughts on this. It does beg the question, what's the point of Premium Connectivity? Is all I'm getting a map overlay telling me about a traffic jam I'm headed straight for? And spotify? Can someone with PC give me the benefits? Also, if you have unlimited data then I'm...

Thank you for all these helpful answers. I'm still a bit confused. So live traffic visualisation only comes with premium connectivity right? And live traffic visualisation is different to navigation? Does live traffic visualisation affect navigation? Ie if live traffic visualisation shows red...

So you're saying the screen gives me up to date traffic info although I'm not on Premium? I'm not sure I'm getting that service because the routes I get since I came off Premium always seem to default to 'shortest' rather than what might be right for the traffic. I've been on motorways that have...

You're absolutely right, thank you. I guess I just need to decide whether premium connectivity is worth it for built in real time traffic data or if I just keep using waze on my phone and forego the on screen bit. Thank you for your helpful reply

I think I'm doing exactly what you do. I was hoping to somehow get it integrated into the screen but not sure it's possible. Thanks for the reply

Hello, I have a tesla model three. I don't pay for WiFi but I have just discovered I can set my phone up as a mobile hotspot and connect the car. Exciting! I would love to know what the best way to navigate is with online traffic updates. Currently I just use Waze on my phone and ignore the map...

I think this might have solved the problem. Changing the sentry mode setting in the car rather than on the app seems to be the way forward. On the app it's not permanent but it seems like it is if you change it in the car. Thank you.

Hello, I'm experiencing about 30 miles per night rundown of battery. I can only think it's sentry mode. But when I switch off sentry mode, it always comes back on again and I have no idea why? Does anybody else have this problem? Any help gratefully received.
