I'm proud to announce the release of the first Tesla app to support the Apple Watch. I'm starting this new thread to answer all questions, bug reports, UI suggestions, and feature requests for the app. If you agree with a UI suggestion and/or feature request that someone else made, please mention that you agree with it. This will be how I'll gauge the demand for them.
A demo of an early version of the app can be seen in the YouTube video below. The app has since been updated with new UI changes, but the core functionality should look similar to the video.
Features currently exclusive to the Remote S app:
- Fully functional Apple Watch app
- Start car with Touch ID without needing a password (can be disabled)
- Camp Mode allows you to keep the HVAC on in the car even though there is no activity. Normally, the car will turn off HVAC after 30 minutes.
- Adjust the panoramic roof to more settings than just vent and close
- Breadcrumb tracking allows you to see the path that car has recently taken
- Accurate odometer readout. Remote S gives you the odometer reading that is accurate up to a few feet instead of rounded to the nearest mile.
- In-app browser can detect commands from javascript and html so that you can create and use a webpage to control your car
- This opens up all sorts of functionality, such as scheduling, queued commands, and repeated commands
- Consolidated stats and commands into one screen for quicker and easier access
- Start/unlock car with Apple Watch without a password
- Ability to change passenger and driver temperature settings separately instead of always together
- Estimated range is displayed (this takes the average consumption of your past 30 miles and estimates your battery range based on that past usage)
- Monitor all three ranges (estimated, rated, ideal) at the same time without changing the settings in your car
