I'm running Tesla connect, love it thanks.
However I can not sync my calendar with my car.
Anyone have any luck syncing outlook with their car?

I just put Tesla Companion back on the store, it fully supports calendar sync, however I have disabled all related cloud services until I find out if Tesla Servers are stable again to re-enable that functionality

Tesla API doesn't support this feature, is strange they haven't done this yet even on the official App, since as you did, it is one of the most requested features people ask me to add to the App.

Me Too!! My car arrives today, can't wait. Would love a Windows Phone app.

Greg, if the app doesn't work for you or crashes please let me know, latest cars usually have different data configuration returned from the servers which the App would not understand and intentionally crashes to send the report back to me, I can't fix these problem before it happens because I don't have Tesla internal information so always I'm one step behind catching up with the changes that were made.

Me too

Edit: Castor's Tesla Companion does work perfectly for me (Nokia Lumia 520), but of course I vote for an official app.

I am a +5 on this (5 Windows Phones in the family).

Maybe when Windows 10 releases an official universal app will come out to cover Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.

Awesome and if you need any help with it in the future reach out.

With the release of VisualStudio 2015 it will be possible to recompile iOS apps to run on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. "Too much additional development effort required" should not be an excuse anymore for not to have an official app.

Tesla Companion is pretty cool. That said...

Microsoft open sources its tool for porting iOS apps to Windows | The Verge

I wonder if this will motivate anyone at Tesla to consider getting it done. I decompiled the official Android version and it's not particularly exotic. Not that I don't appreciate castor's efforts, but an official app would roll with changes and new features as they happen.

What should motivate Tesla is that there are now over 200 million installs of Windows 10. Write the app already. :)

Windows 10 Now Active on over 200 Million Devices | Windows Experience Blog

I am so thankful for those that have the talent to write apps (thanks Gustavo and others!), but what's the formal way to get that above install number to Tesla and have them write an app for the Windows ecosystem?
