I was reviewing my Location Services settings on my iphone and I noticed the Tesla App was set to allow access to location "always" so I set it to "While using" becaue I couldn't figure out why it would always need to know my location...
As far as I can tell, I haven't lost any functionality. Walk-up/away unlock/lock works perfectly etc.
I did notice that when set to "always" it does set up a geofence (as indicated by the "hollow" navigation symbol).
So a few questions:
- Does anyone know if there is a reason to leave it set to 'always' vs 'while using'? Don't tell me it's so when I open the app it shows me where I am relative to the car ... because that falls under "while using"
- When set to always.... Is there some action the app takes when you are "near" your car (and geofence near is something like a 100m or more, so it's not that near).
