New Tesla APP 4.x. Released for iOS and Android

[LionelHutz]

Has anybody else run into problems with HVAC controls using the new app? A few times now I’ve turned on AC 5-10 minutes before going to my car, set the temperature, and waited for the “blowing air graphic” to show up, then found my car is still hot AF inside and the AC is not running.

It just showed up on the IOS App Store an hour ago for me. I was finally able to download it.

Within the updates page in the App Store, try to swipe down to refresh the page. New updates for apps should show up after refreshing that page.

Thanks for the constructive suggestion. It didn't work for me, unfortunately. I'll just give it some more time.

Where did your found the full supercharging history on the Tesla apps ? Thanks for your answer.

I had already provided the detailed steps a few posts earlier in this thread.

Supercharging history is buried a few layers deep, but on the iOS app. I honestly found it just by poking around. Here's how to find it ...

From the main screen, click on your account profile icon in the far upper right corner (will show your profile pic if you've added one)
From profile screen, click on Account
From the Profile | Account screen, click on Charging
On the Profile | Account | Charging screen you should see options for Manage Payment and History
--- > Click on History

Delete and reinstall the Tesla app, but still don't see the Tesla app in the widget list.

Yeah I no longer see the widget I was used to using all the time to precondition my car quickly. Now I only see some stupid status 'widget'. I don't want/need to see a pic of my car and % that just opens the app. I want easy access to shortcut options again.

What widget allowed you to precondition your car?

What widget allowed you to precondition your car?

The Tesla app. The previous iOS app had a widget that displayed your cars status and had 3 buttons much like the design of the old app for the fan, keyless driving & lock/unlock shortcuts. I don't have an actual screenshot of my phone but found a screenshot someone took on reddit when they were having problems previously

Thinking it may have been pulled until it's fixed

For those not happy with the very small font size. It’s actually linked to the iPhone text size parameter, in “Settings > Display and Brightness > Text size” : there you can increase the font size. Not ideal, and makes for a too large font in iOS in other apps.

And why the frunk, instead of trunk, which I open about 100x as much.

Because you can open the trunk manually, but not the frunk.

Do this:

Open the App Store, search for the Tesla app, open the app page, you might see OPEN for a second or two, but then it should switch immediately over to UPDATE (then of course you can tap that and actually update).

It's way better if you have 2 teslas and it's way better "holding" commands while your car wakes up.

The command queuing works really well, we only have one Tesla, but I have been reading the multicar experience is way better.

Everything else seems like either just a UI change, or a step back in terms of breadth of functionality/information presentment.

There's several place (in the iOS App) where they didn't follow a pretty standard design pattern. Honestly, instead of trying to get too custom, they should just work on the underlying nuts~n~bolts, the backend services, and build things around a simple, information rich, standard UI.

Selecting the range to charge per mile is a little annoying. I liked it better when I could just toggle between trip and daily for charge. I don't really have a need to pick 211, 212, 213,214, etc. miles of range to charge to.

Switch to % problem solved

Switch to % problem solved

How do you switch it to % in the app? I just see Charge Limit in miles, I don't see an option to switch to %.

You do it in the car.

The app will report whatever units you have selected in your car. So this means you need to change the display in your car to display in percent and not miles.

I’m really enjoying the new app. Looks much more updated and connects to the Y a lot quicker!

Bingo!

I like the original better also. Better graphics especially on the power/energy products.

I agree on the Powerwall reporting. It was so slick in the earlier version. Now, I can't see what is going on as in the original version. Here is the ole vs. new comparison. Previously, I could easily and quickly see what was happening on a single pain, with data down below. The new version may have more data, but it is not nearly as clear as the earlier version. I can't believe someone at Tesla thought the new app is better!
