    iPhone X and Bluetooth connectivity issues

    I just took delivery of a new Model S last week but have been having all sorts of issues connecting my iPhone X with Bluetooth. The phone will pair but the bluetooth connectivity keeps dropping every 10-15 seconds and I can't load any of my contacts or calendar. Forgetting the device doesn't...

    Official type c installation

    I saw Tesla finally came out with an official type c charger for the s/x! I got one and installed it easy peasy! Made a video for everyone, as if you do need to change the charger port in your console do to getting a new phone, it'll help as each one install the same!

    Longer Lightning Connectors for dock?

    I'm having a heck of a time trying to get our iPhones to fully seat on the lightning chargers in the 3's phone dock. We have cases on the phones, but they're not particularly large (I have a Mous case). The connectors are too short by just a millimeter or two. Has anyone else found a...

    Phone and iPod simultaneously?

    I have an iPhone. I also have an iPod. Both are capable of bluetooth connection. When I connect the iPod, the car seems to think it is a phone so won't use my iPhone. Is there a way to connect both simultaneously so I can use the phone and also play the music on the iPod? I know I can put...

    iPhone Spontaneously Plays Podcasts -- Help

    I have a Model X on a several day loaner for a project while I wait for mine too arrive. (So very nice of Tesla to do me this kindness.) I've paired my iPhone to the car to listen to music and podcasts. It turns out that, as I walk towards the car, they connect and my phone, and thus the car...

    Vendor Tesla Plus for iOS

    Hi everyone! Recently I launched a project I have been putting loads of time and love into. "Tesla Plus" is an iOS-app. An alternative to the official Tesla app, and the other 3rd party apps out there. It features a UI that looks much more like the UI in the car, and has additional unique...

    Loss of recent calls function after 8.1

    Hi all, I usually access my recent calls (iphone) from the right scroll wheel. After the latest update in both my cars (ap1 and ap2), when I click on the recent calls, nothing shows up. The rest of the phone functionality still works though. I have tried resetting both screens but it still...

    Some iPhone Contacts Not Loading

    It doesn't look like anyone has raised this issue in last year or two. Has anyone experienced a problem of the car only downloading some contacts from an iPhone? Mine only transfers the contacts with last names from A through the beginning of N. I had read somewhere that the car is capped at...

    Contact list is suddenly blank-fixes?

    Have had my S for almost 4 1/2 years and one of the few things that's never been a problem before was the phone contact list updating from my phone. For the past few weeks, however, it has been totally blank. No past calls, recent calls, or full contact list at all. My calendar updates...

    With 8.0, now my MX wakes my iPhone 6S often

    Got my 8.0 update on Friday, every since then my MX wakes my iPhone 6S (iOS 10.0.2) over Bluetooth and starts playing music (on my phone). When my iPhone is not in range, it goes down the list of registered phones and starts playing music on those phones. I have even shut down the Apple Music...

    TeslaTracks App

    Hi All, I, along with a few other engineerings have been building a really great application called TeslaTracks. It's a lot like FItBit but for your car. You get in, start driving and the application begins monitoring everything about the car as you drive along your trip. You can invite your...

    iPhone Integration, or lack thereof....messaging notification bluetooth

    So have the 90D X for 5 days and notice that Bluetooth connects just fine to my iphone 6. I keep the phone dongled to charge cable out of routine. So a new message (blue imessage or green/other) comes in and I feel the phone vibrate, but no noise through car stereo for notification. Short of...

    Playing music from iPhone

    from what I read in the formus, the Model X won't read my iPhone music from the USB cable, but only through bluetooth. I'm okay with it as long as i can scroll through my songs through the steering wheel buttons or the main console. Can anyone confirm? or do i have to use my iPhone screen to...

    EV Watch for Tesla, watchOS 2.0 app

    Hi All, Just released a new Apple Watch app. The difference with existing Tesla watch apps is that it doesn't try to shrink the official Tesla App, but extends it by taking advantage of the Watch format: Complication support - monitor your charge state as easily as checking the time Use the...

    "Charger Locations" iPhone and Apple Watch app

    I've been wanting a simple app for my iPhone (and iPad) that just contains a map with a circle with 250 mile radius and shows all of the superchargers within driving range. I couldn't find one that simple, so I wrote one. It's called "Charger Locations" on the Apple App Store. Green pins are...

    Mobile App - What changes are you expecting?

    Curious what changes will be coming to the mobile app. 1) Will be there a separate 'Model X' app? 2) What features are you expecting? I'm thinking that there will be a separate app what allows you to open/close the Falcon wing doors. What at else might be included?

    I'm finding something interesting when trying to START CHARGING from the iPhone App. Here is the scenario: The car is 30 RM below the DAILY LIMIT and I want to charge it to heat the battery. It's real cold. 10 degrees. So, the battery is real cold too. When I press the START CHARGING button on...

    Pickup and Hiccups - Anyone else had these issues?

    I just got my new Model S85 on 9/11/14 (two weeks late due to the factory shut down) and there still seem to be issues with the quality control. I drove the car 18 miles and it started sounding like I had run over a 10-gallon plastic jug and it was bouncing under the car. I pulled off the...

    Hoewel er de topic Belgium and the Netherlands: Public Charging infrastructure is, leek het mij toch zinvol een aparte topic aan te maken waarin we app’s en site's zoveel mogelijk overzichtelijk bij elkaar kunnen zetten om laadpunten te zoeken. Mijn ervaring is namelijk dat er best wel wat...

    Speaker Static from iPhone--Any Solutions?

    My iPhone causes static/scratchy noise in the front left speaker when the iPhone is sending/receiving large amounts of data. The noise is pronounced when the iPhone is in the cubby below the touchscreen, but minimized or eliminated when I am holding the iPhone. The noise occurs even when the...

    USB audio for iPhone?

    When you connect an iPhone via USB, I understand that it charges, but does it connect to play audio? Or does that only work through Bluetooth? Based on what I've heard in other cars, I would prefer to listen through the USB, since it typically sounds slightly better and is less susceptible to...
