Hi guys, sorry for the delay!
Now my account is back up and running so here are some answers to the questions above.
Generic question. Does operating things like the heated seats change the display "bacon strips" if you pull up climate control? I like to keep the buttons in out of site areas so I can't see the button flashing to let me know what heat level the seats are set on...
Unfortunately we cannot control the state shown on the Main screen for some features. Hopefully with future Tesla updates we will find a way to do it. Our idea is to have at least the sate in our Dashboard for all overwrite functionalities. We recently added Wipers and Fan Speed, others will follow soon.
but I still need a way to make the car 50/50 front motor/rear motor, or ideally have lets say 25% increments for both and toggle between it
Front/Back motor ratio could be controlled only with TrackMode on. I believe there is no other way to do it or to trick the motor control module from the Commander.
Also, in the service menu you can disable battery heater on demand. If I can have that put on a button, this will also help me with the charging on 50kW DC chargers. As I always have to go to service menu to disable this stupid heater.
We will look into that. We have planned also a button for battery pre-heating in case of charging on non-Tesla superchargers which will be useful in EU.
Any chance of a reset button on the commander unit? I have to unplug mine and plug it back in most of the time when I get in the car in order to make it work... I would love to just be able to reach back and press a button on the unit to reset it.
Reset button is not needed. There was a bug in 2.5.2 which we fixed with 2.6.0+. Please, update to the latest and if the issue continues it might be related to a very rare hardware issue which needs a Commander replacement. Just reach
[email protected] and we will replace yours right away
This doesn't seem to work in Germany. As far as I see the button when pressed just "reconfirms" the set speed (it doesn't go up or down, maybe software bug?), but that doesn't change the nag. I think also moving the speed up and down doesn't clear the nag either, but have to test it.
Moving the speed Up/Down removes the Nag only in the USA. Tesla disable this feature for EU because of the regulations. Our button does nothing more than just emulating the scroll wheel button up/down because of this we have in the disclamer of the feature that you have to place the button on the steering wheel in order to be compliment with US regulations (only a button on the Steering wheel could dismiss the nag). Most probably we will disable or rename this feature for EU in order to avoid misunderstanding and wrong expectations.
@dimitar.ns Are you here, any news on the long press, automated AP activation after lange change, snow mode and disabling battery heater with a button?
For Long press and double-press we need app redesign in order to make the UX nice. They should come somewhere in the summer.
We are one step forward with the AP Activation after lane change by releasing the AP feature last week. However in order to make this feature reliable and safe we need to find more ways of synchronization the AP state between our Commander and the car. The problem is that our connection point doesn't have access to all the data but in the beginning we decided to live with this restriction but have the easier installation (otherwise you should connect to the MCU which is a bit trickier).
Here are the features we are working on for v2.7.0 that should come in 2 week:
- optimize communication and don't skip important messages like Add/Remove button
- improve Turn signals logic
- Child Lock (which is actually Child Unlock feature for 10 seconds on both, left or right rear doors)
- Thank you! (turn hazard lights for 3 seconds with 1 press)
- Headlights On
- Back window defroster
- some improvements in the App UI
- option in Dashboard to turn off phone screen when Tesla main screen is off etc. (if you mount a phone permanently to the car)
- Notifications in the app for new versions and important information
