You can install our site as a web app on your iOS device by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari. Please see this thread for more details on this.

Thanks for that, and yes, it was pretty stupid of me. I didn't realize that I needed to have app access enabled in the car.If you can't figure it out, you should consider deleting it.
It's worth the money. It also has an Apple Watch app if you have one of those. It allows you to change some things that the tesla app doesn't allow. It provides more details about car charging and range than the tesla app. Can you live without it? Of course. It is handy though.Thanks, vdiv, but given the in-app purchases it seems expensive. I will however keep it in mind.
As others have already mentioned, the official Tesla iOS app is handy for remotely turning on climate control - e.g. on a hot day as you walk back to your car parked a few blocks away. The other thing that it does is provide notifications on your iPhone for charging status (charge start/interrupted/complete) and also when there's a software updated available for your car. (but you cannot start a software update remotely from the app). If you have the official app and turn on calendar sync, if you have an appointment in your calendar with an address in the event's location field, that location shows up in your Tesla's calendar and you can tap on it to load that address into the car nav system.No, this isn't a question about the 1970's song, but rather a question about the usefulness of the "Tesla" app that I just downloaded to my iPhone.

Turn on the a/c before I walk out to a scaldingly hot car after parking somewhere outside. Turn on the heat before walking out to a freezing cold car in the winter. Use that feature almost every single day. Check the state of charge.No, this isn't a question about the 1970's song, but rather a question about the usefulness of the "Tesla" app that I just downloaded to my iPhone.

And how can you do that with the App? Mine just work for stop charging...Start charging remotely when I need a 100% charge before a trip. I charge to 90% routinely overnight and if I need 100% I start that when I wake up and it's done just before I leave. Not just from home, that's an even better trick when plugged in at a hotel.
Set your charge limit to 90%, wake up, about an hour before leaving (or 2 hours, depending on your charging power), set charge limit to 100% and start charging. This would minimize the time your battery sits at 100% to avoid degradation due to 100% charge level. Based on what I know, charging to 100% isn't too bad for your battery, but having it sit at 100% (especially on a hot day) is bad. I don't hesitate to do it for a a couple hours, but avoid it sitting it at 100% for half day or longer.And how can you do that with the App? Mine just work for stop charging...
