Phone App: iPhone/Android app

Same issue here. Car is reporting at least 6-7•C more than real temperature. No matter inside my garage or outside for long time. Even today the AC started blowing cold air... during winter time. Pretty sure some temp sensors are defective.

Interesting experiment: I plugged into the ChargePoint charger at my office this morning, and it quickly got the charge up to 241 miles (the usual Standard charge on my car). Over the course of the day (10.5 hours), that slid to 224 miles. Preparing to head home, I just kicked on the Climate and shifted the charger over to Max Range.

Key point: the ChargePoint connection was still live and let the charging rate ramp up, even after sitting at zero for 9 hours.

iPhone app draining iPhone battery when left open?

Got the iPhone app running this morning, used it for a couple minutes and went about my day. I noticed my iPhone's battery was draining out much quicker than normal. I think the app might be running in the background and draining the battery, anyone else notice this? I had to manually quit the app to stop it...

Go to the map while the car is moving and it will show the speedometer.

I'm hoping valet mode is in the next release.

What the %$#@&^*?

Anyone try to get the app on an iPad? The description says iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, but I sure as heck can't get it on the iPad.

Trying clicking 'iPhone Apps' (not iPad Apps). It is an iPhone App that can scale 2x (ugly) to display portrait-only on an iPad.

(Urgh: refresh failure on tapatalk. Mods: you can remove this post, as the question has been answered already.)

I bought 3 Model S's from Tesla (long story). I wonder what happens when you have 4...

I either met you recently in Hong Kong, at the test drive event here, or there is more than one person who has bought 3 Model S.

I noticed (and reported) similar behavior on the Android beta app some weeks ago. But it isn't all the time. On the android device, it seems to be related to GPS, maps, or failing to allow the phone to sleep. But it's inconsistent enough to be hard to pin down. In fact it was some weeks before I concluded it was actually the app doing it.

The app says the interior temp of my car is 76 degrees. It's been sitting outside in 45 degree weather for 6.5 hours with climate control off...don't think that function is working!

I have found that the interior temp is only shown when "Climate" is "On." What you're referring to, I think, is the temperature setting.

All you have to do is kick it into a "Range" charge, then after it has started knock it back to "Rated" and it will continue to 240 miles.

thanks, too bad this thread and probably yours got moved to a single thread, which in a few weeks will be a hundred pages long and impossible to tell whats what... this place so over moderated it's killing the usability of the forum...

Wow Mitch, you were only doing 9mph on the freeway? Surprised you didn't get run over.

Yes, we'll your not driving in Boston, that's what the "expressway" looks in the morning and evening...
5 minutes later you can be going 60mph, it's just what the traffic does...

Car is outside. Interior cabin says 7 degrees c. I started the cabin heat and setting was at 24 degrees c. I can increase the temperature using the up arrow but I cannot decrease it with the down arrow. Anyone else see this?

This seems to be reproduced by a few people. Patp did some tests and found that if the car is set to fahrenheit, the down arrow works but if it is in Celsius, it doesn't. Would maybe explain why they would not have caught this bug (testing mainly in fahrenheit?). I did the experiment and reproduced it also. Works in F, not in C.

Great catch patp!

Yes. Actually it's a bug when car is in Celcius. Only does it on iOS. It's been reported to Tesla.

I downloaded the app this afternoon. My car is now charging and the app says it is charging at 7 mph, 244v, 16amps. It says the rated range is 183 miles. This seems strange to me as it is plugged into a NEMA 14-50, 50amp outlet. I know the charge rate slows down as it gets closer to fill charge, but 183 rated
Miles doesn't seem like it's that lose. I have the charge setting on standard, not max. Does the reported info on charging rate and amp draw seem right?

Anyone else with 19" wheels notice that the iPhone app displays 21" wheels instead? The car itself shows the 19" wheels on the instrument cluster and the 17" screen, but not the iPhone app.

I'm just trying to think outside of the box, but couldn't you use Bluestacks and a macro recorder to do the timed charging? This one let's you schedule when your macro runs, but I've never used it. Surely there are many others that might be cheaper.

not right if you are really at 240+ V

mine shows it correctly (when I'm charging)
