Essential or Useful apps to have

[sando]

Preparing for my Model 3 delivery in less than a week and was wondering, what are some essential or useful apps to have?

So far I've installed Tesla and a better route planner, but are there others worth downloading or signing-up for right away? I have looked into Plugshare and ChargePoint apps, but there are tons of similar apps out there. So wondering, what are all of you using to help with your Tesla ownership?

I don't have a Tesla yet, but with my Volt I found Plugshare and ChargePoint to be very useful. You might also want to look at the Flo app.

Second Plugshare and ChargePoint, very useful.

The Tesla app, Plugshare and Tesla Remote are the ones that I would recommend. Tesla Remote may only be for iOS.

I wouldn't bother with the charging apps, other than Plugshare, unless you know that you will be going to smaller places and needing them to charge. If you just travel on the 400 series of highways it is unlikely you will need them. And it is getting less likely with every new Supercharger that opens.

Well, I downloaded "circuit électrique" recently.
It is in the playstore now.

Here’s my list. You can ignore Slack, I have that to talk with my local EV group.

With a recent update of Google Map you can select to have the map show various charging options. You can select by type of charger you can use such as Tesla and J1772. There is a screen that will show distance to the chargers.
