Tesla - Apple Watch support

[Zythryn]

Ironic. I just got my apple watch a few days ago and still have two weeks before my 70d is here.

Wow, I just got my Watch Friday, and my 70D is due in a couple weeks as well

Small world. I used to live in Woodbury, MN. Just left a few years ago.

Yea, this is the longest I've seen the app not appear in the app store after it was approved. It's usually available within three hours or so. I'm heading to sleep and will check back tomorrow morning. If it's still not there by then, I'll call their tech support help line and find out what's going on. But the good news is that Apple didn't reject the app. That was a hurdle that I was slightly worried about, but not really.

Great to hear.

Ready to purchase ☺

Not available in the Norwegian App Store yet

 

[mdevp]

Ready to buy as well. Tell us whether your are getting enough interest from us after it goes on sale, I hope we can make it worth all your hard work! :smile:

 

[Tinde]

It's there now! At least in the US store.

I was able to get it. Installed on iPad, iPhone and apple watch. Can't fully test it right now because I'm not close to the car. Odometer and ranges are showing in kilometers instead of miles. I'm in the USA.

 

[Johan]

Installed and works well!

Will report more when my watch arrives in a few days.

One thing: I think the phone UI is confusing with respect to the panoramic roof status/setting. It took me a little while to understand that the one setting out of the four that's currently selected is greyed out. Perhaps this could be represented in another, more intuitive, way?

The app available now.

That sounds like a bug. The app should be reading the km vs miles setting from your car. Please change the settings in your car to see if it changes in the app as well. Also, did you run the Apple Watch app yet?

It's nicely done. Thank you!

There are a couple of UI things I thing I would want to see differently and I think I had a couple of hangs on the watch side. I will see if I can repro and send them to you.

Mine showing kms too. Climate is in Celsius to match my car if that makes a diff.

I'm in USA but Celsius just makes so much more sense

I would agree with the comment regarding the pano roof. It's a bit confusing. According to the latest Apple UI, the icon lights up (instead of greyed out) when a particular state is selected. The wifi and Bluetooth buttons are such examples. Might be better if the icon lights for the pano roof are reversed.

Just downloaded the app. It's working great on the phone and watch. Thanks so much for a great job. Just left a 5 star review.

Hey guys I started a new thread, because the first few pages of this thread is not about my app, so it might be confusing to new forum users as to what we're talking about. Please direct all future questions and requests to the new thread:

Okay. I'll change it to a highlighted state instead. The way it is set now is a "disabled" button look if the roof is already in that state. That's why it's faded. But if a highlighted state is preferred, I'll change it.

It shouldn't make a difference. There are three different readings. It's reading gui_distance_units, gui_temperature_units and gui_charge_rate_units. gui_temperature_units is the C vs F setting. And gui_charge_rate_units is the km vs mi setting for your range. I'm currently reading that to determine whether to display km or mi for both the range and odometer.

I'm looking through my code, and I can't find why this bug would occur. I'm going to need some more data to figure out this bug. Is everyone else having this same bug, or is it displaying miles correctly for other users?
