UK Tesla App v4

[PatrickCH4313]

NO charging info like when the charging will begin when connected to the home charger.

Charge port is more easily accessible
location is more accurate (ish). It used to give the only road name near to my property but I don’t live on that road. Now it actually names my neighbour’s house as the location! To give the house name is impressive. Shame it’s the wrong one

So, in an effort to move the car onto my property, I backed out of the garage. New location named as next door but one the other way!
perhaps my house doesn’t exist.
since the app is now naming properties, does anyone know the what map source is being used?

The old widget allowed me to lock/unlock the car, open trunk and toggle the climate without opening the app. It looks like that ability has been removed now, unless I'm looking in the wrong place?

The v4 App is not being offered on iOS v12.5.4 (iPhone 6) - requires iOS 13.0 or later

I'm probably due a new phone this year as more and more app updates (some more than just cosmetic/new features) are no longer supporting this device

Release notes for v4 - looks to be some useful features

if you thinking of a new iPhone then probably worth waiting until mid September when the new 13 is expected to be announced. This will also reduce the cost of existing models if you don‘t need the latest features. The one exception to that is the iPhone SE which is an iPhone 8 with 2019 innards and came out in April last year, so it’s anyone’s guess when that will be upgraded. If you find the iPhone 6 size OK then that may be a shout as pretty much the same size and adds wireless charging which works well in the car if you have a Tesla that has that feature.

Mine is far less specific, now rather than the village where I live the cars is simple in the "Chiltern Hills" which sounds fantastically wistful.

I have spotted a (very) minor UI inconsistency on the Climate page for RHD cars. The steering wheel is on the 'right' side, but the screen display is still the LHD version:

Unacceptable, I'm going to return the car for a refund.

Says it's Apple Maps on mine, bottom left of the display when in the satellite map view.

Thanks, spotted it now.

Seems no longer an option for early or late software updates.

Small thing, but it’s nice to see the correct upholstery colour reflected in the app

The car graphics quite cool when the vehicles moving. The road speeds up/slows down as the car does,

There wasn't a widget available for the app until this update. You had to open the app in order to do all those things. The 'Tesla for Watch' app allowed widgets with those functionalities.

There was ... in the widget area side panel/drawer (not the new style that uses home screen space).

Question for anyone with solar and powerwalls:
my image shows two solar roofs and I do have two separate arrays.
is the 2 roof image normal or is my app being really clever?

Stupid question alert - does having a widget keep the car awake?

No, but if you click on the widget, the app opens and wakes up the car.

Tesla and the world's most powerful neural network computer cannot be wrong - I think you need to advise your neighbours that Elon has simply decided to grant you full rights to their properties...

 

[Silicon Desert]

Not sure if I'm fully awake yet but it seems like supercharger availability has been removed...

As others mentioned, on the location tab and harder to use. BUT, I use a separate app called "Supercharger map for Tesla" that does about the same thing.

You're kind of both right.

The widget was available for anyone who had it active at (I think) iOS 13, but was not available to activate after that. So if you had it then you kept it, but if you didn't then this is the first time you can have a widget.
