Like I said, I had the Tesla Homelink module installed on my Model 3 as well...it works great, but it's too expensive IMO. With Tailwind it does the exact same thing as the Tesla Homelink module for less than a quarter of the price...it auto-opens based on your GPS location (you can set a custom distance). Tailwind also has an advantage in that you can check the open/close status of your garage door from the app...also you can control your garage door from anywhere (unlike the Tesla Homelink module, which requires your car to actually be in or around the garage in order to work).I had Homelink on my Model 3 last year, and I loved the features and how it worked, and I could easily and multiple garages into the car (like my mother-in-law's security gate to her complex, and my brother's garage when we needed to pick up the kids). Before that, having multiple garage door openers wasn't cutting it.
I just had Tesla mobile service install it for me earlier this past week (3 days after taking delivery of my Model Y), and works exactly the same and it's great to use again. It's convenient to have it auto open & close the smaller garage door that I park in.
I personally wouldn't want to use an app because there's just too much delay and effort involved to open your garage, especially when you're driving up to the house and turning into the driveway and making sure the neighborhood kids aren't running around nearby.
