We use the GPS in the phone to trigger a bunch of things so running on the phone will give you the best experience. Unless your iPad has cell networking, though I haven't tried that at all...

I only tried to install it on my iPad because I could do that quicker than upgrading my iPhone to 9.3.5. I was able to get Teslab working on another cell phone with 9.3.5 loaded.
My iPad had been jailbroken but I removed the jailbreak when I upgraded to 9.3.5 (before installing Teslab). It is still showing it is incompatible. No big deal since I got it working on my cell phone.
Thanks for your response.

Good day all drivers!
Thanks for all the feedback, please keep it coming.
Many of you have updated to the most current beta version, for those of you who haven’t, please do, it’s amazing.
We’d love to see your speed and elevation charts, grab a screen shot and share on twitter @teslabapp. We want to see them and share with the entire community.
As for a few updates. We are going to be pushing out another nice community feature, soon you’ll be able to like an activity. Also, we are continuing to work on new and exciting sharing controls so you can choose how much you’d like to share per trip.
In the near term, we’re going to begin rolling out a lot more car controls as well so many many exciting things in the pipeline.
Please continue to share comments and suggestions on twitter and or in our forum.

I have 2 questions:
- Do I need to leave the app running all of the time to be able to get stats or does it access the Tesla server and update the statistics when I launch it?
- I have energy savings turned on and noticed that I have a much higher vampire drain than before I installed the app. I used to lose about 2 miles per and now I am losing about 9 miles a day with the app turned on all of the time. I just turned the app off and I will check vampire drain to see if leaving the app on all of the time is causing the higher vampire drain.

Are there any applications available to load in the onboard computer/OS (f.e. Mail, Reminders, etc.)?
Nope. At one time they were mutterings about an App Store but those plans were eventually scrapped.

What ever happened to EVE for Tesla? I liked their IFTTT connect implementation. Just looks like it hasn't been updated in a while.
Key for Tesla Key for Tesla on the App Store This app lets you open and start your car with just 1 tap. Also on apple watch and today extension.
Power for Tesla Power for Tesla on the App Store This app lets you see all kind of information about the battery or charging session.
Both apps were made by me.

Rawmean, does the app allow you to look at historical charging rates? Specifically, I would like to be able to see what km/h and KW rate of charge I have received over night.

Looking forward to trying this once you enable account creation as I don't use Facebook or Twitter.

I use this app a lot. It offers a very unique feature set (Geo-based alerts, i.e. home; work, to remember to plug in/charge!) and the developer is very responsive and open to ideas/input.
Highly recommended.
Thanks much. I'm adding new features to the app. If you are not a beta tester already and interested in getting these new features before release on the App Store, feel free to sign up here: quicktesla
BTW, Apple has asked me to change the name of the app so that it doesn't include "Tesla" in it. So, the name is going to change to something else in the next update.
Wow, are they doing this to ALL non-Tesla made Tesla related apps equally? There are so many!
The app (quicktesla) stores the following historical data and staples it in the app as charts:
- added miles for each charging session
- added kWh for each charging session
- cost for each charging session (user specifies cost per kwh)
- driving efficiency vs. odometer
You can sign up for beta testing and try the latest version of the app before buying it.
