Huawei phones are very aggressive when it comes to killing apps and disabling features to extend battery life. It's probably killing the Tesla app's background processes needed for the Model 3 to authenticate.
Not really asking about phone safety in this thread but thanks for the heads up I guess. I am not overly concerned Paranoia will destroy us: Why Huawei and other Chinese tech is not spying on Americans | ZDNet
Don't want to change the topic of this thread but if you are worried about phones manufactured in china spying on you wouldn't this preclude using phones from Apple, Samsung, LG and everyone else who manufacture their equipment in China? Isn't your telecom provider vacuuming all your meta data already? What about google? Facebook? Apple? They don't snoop on what you do on your phone?
Also, you can readily purchase Huawei phones in my home country (Norway) from all their large telecom operators so I doubt the threat is of that much concern.
I'll disable all power saving for the app and see how it works. Battery is already lasting several days worth of use so hopefully that won't be an issue. Thanks for the suggestion.

Huawei's phones are not really a security or privacy issue. Nor are their PCs. It's the network infrastructure that's a national security concern.
