Mobile App - Quick Actions

[BushtrimmmerJr]

Hi all

Just something useful I discovered today (although I may be late to it).

You can add five quick action buttons to the Tesla app instead of the usual four that you see (picture attached). I haven’t had chance to test it as the wife is out at the minute with the car.

You do this by following the steps at around the four minute mark on the video below.

Hopefully it’s useful.

Yeah it’s a nice little feature. Came with an app update at some point last year iirc.

Yes, I remember the faff I had adding the 5th icon last year. It certainly isn't an intuitive process.

To be honest there's only four shortcuts I'd want for fear of pressing them accidentally, wouldn't want to pop the front boot, door or even boot with a stray press.

Lock, climate, defrost and charge port seem safe enough for me, could squeeze sentry on I suppose if needed.

Those particular shortcuts (intentionally) don't work unless you are beside the car. I find that the front boot is a handy one to have on there when returning from the curry shop ...

Surely the fart icon
It's always amusing when pressed accidently - honestly; accidently!

I find it quicker & easier to use the home screen widget than the actual app when away from the house. At home I just use the Home Assistant integration because I tend to have the dashboard open already. In fact I rarely open the app at all (it just stays open in the background).

I'm not bold enough to trust it, unfortunately, as I'm one of those people with a phone that retains the bluetooth connection for quite some distance. For a curry takeaway, I was bought a hook that screws into the top of the inside of the boot - perfect to hang your takeaway on (providing you drive sensibly of course).

Good shout. Otherwise the fundamental flaw with the fart mode is that you have to enable it from within the car (e.g. for the steering wheel button), which takes away the element of surprise (unless there's a better way of enabling it).

A few days ago I managed a remote fart at my house mate from 12000 miles away. I was very impressed with myself!

Surely that’s a distance world record?
