Hmm, maybe it's only certain accounts that are locked. I also cannot log into My Tesla right now.

Try it via a different network connection i.e. cellular vs. wifi or at Starbucks, just to see if it's your account or your IP address that's blocked. I had access blocked to my home IP a while ago.
I will when I get a chance later this afternoon. My wife said her phone app (for the same car) stopped responding a couple weeks ago.

Did someone change the password? The token is cached by the mobile app and it takes quite a while to expire so it can be weeks before you encounter problems connecting.

I was driving down the freeway in Oregon the other day (I live in Washington) and it was suddenly very, very hot in the car. Next thing I know the vent opens. I was going 65, so it's pretty loud when the vent suddenly opens up. "What the hell?" I thought. I looked at the temp and it was set to 77! "Aha," I said to myself. A quick call to my son (age 14) confirmed that he was using the app to track me and have a little fun!

There is a disappointment. Things like climate control should not respond to remote control while the vehicle is in motion.

Precisely--people shouldn't be futzing with the app when the vehicle is in motion. I agree with @N4HHE, the functionality of the app should be different depending on whether the vehicle is off or on.
Agreed. And the owner does not have to share his/her password with anyone. That is the best solution. If the driver/owner of the car does not want anyone adjusting settings while the owner/driver is operating the vehicle, do not share the app via the password.
Also, the driver ultimately can turn off the app functionality when operating the car.
I've with Michigan on this one. They current implementation is fine.
Humans being foolish shouldn't be "prevented"; I don't need my car nannified. Next will be "You really shouldn't ever go above the posted speed limit, so we'll just govern that 'for' you."

Just chiming in ... Yes, app implementation is fine the way it is.
If your kid or anyone else is accessing the app because you "let" them have access, that's your decision (problem).
No request for nannyism here.

Oh, but maybe the 14 year old kid needs a nanny!
After I replaced my first MS, I still had connectivity to my old car and I thought about messing with the new owner by beeping the horn, venting the pano, etc. I didn't do it only because I was afraid I'd cause an accident.
Even thought I'd contacted ownership experience immediately upon selling, it took several months before they removed my app access. Once that was a good thing - the new owner had NOT registered the car with ownership experience and then left it plugged in at a service center. The staff could not figure out whose car it was so they called me (based upon the vin). I was able to open the car and they found the registration with his contact info. Kinda weird.

Is the mobile app connection down for anyone? Can't get through the iPhone app - it seems to think the car's asleep when it's not (it's charging here at work) - nor through VisibleTesla...
