Quick Way To Open Trunk From App

[Gasaraki]

So I found this by accident. I was asking people before in other threads to see if there was a way to move trunk unlock button from within the Controls section of the app to the main page or exchange it with the frunk button. Nope no way, the buttons are locked.

So on Android phones, if you swipe down on the Tesla notification that's always in your notification tray, you'll see 3 quick buttons. One of them is the open trunk button!

I never seen this mentioned in all the tips video i've watched and on this forum. I figured i'll share.

I'm kind of surprised if people didn't knew that

I actually disabled the persistent notification specifically because I've accidentally opened the trunk!

 

[Avid]

Yeah, I found it by accident, about a year into ownership.

The easiest way and don't have to press a single button. I have the Stats App so I just say "Hey Siri open the trunk".

iOS has a Control Center, you swipe to the left and you can put some widgets there. I have the Tesla app, Stats and EV Watch there. As you can see, Stats has a Trunk unlock button:

Thanks! I always just pressed the "v"/Caron/upside down Caret. Now I know I can do a "drag down", it's a little subtle. If swipe too fast it doesn't work, if I linger too long before dragging down it also doesn't work. But if I don't think over think it's pretty slick.

Just tap the " v", yesterday I could do the drag and today I can't do it to save my life.

How do you add those apps to the iOS Control Center?
It seems that you can only add Apple apps/settings by default.
Thanks!

any android workarounds?

When I open Control Center on my iPhone X, Tesla is not an option to add.

Same here, I can't see how to add it.

I misspoke, it's not the Control Center, that's the thing you swipe down from the upper right corner. What I'm looking at is the widget place:
• you get to it by swiping left to right on your home screen.
• then scroll all the way down to the bottom, and click the "edit" button
• then add the widgets you want, and order them the way you want. As you can see, I put Tesla at the top, followed by Stats and EV Watch.

I couldn't remember what the widget place was called, and the first thing that came to mind was "Control Center", but that's something for system control shortcuts.

Would be great to get flexibility in the original Tesla App to set one's 3 main buttons. I'd use a trunk button a lot more than frank or fan. And as long as we're at it: I find the top right Loot button a waste of prime real estate.

Does the Stats app widget cause phantom drain?

Does the Stats app widget cause phantom drain?

Not that I can tell. Way back when it was first released, the developer had some kind of issue, but that was resolved over a year ago.

Just added the Tesla app Widget. Will this wake the Tesla every time I access Widgets?

It seems not. You need to touch the refresh icon in the Tesla widget to wake the car. Which in the xase of my iPhone X, doesn't work - I get the 'waking up' donut but it doesn't wake, making the widget pretty useless.

Not sure, but try to swipe down with two fingers. I seem to remember that this is necessary when there are too many notifications. Please confirm if it really works.
