Mobile app 3.8.0 released with seat heater and schedule service

I was really counting on the addition of heated seat control allowing us to just turn them on/off. I do not want to have climate control with the fan come on at all. Currently you have to have climate control turned on to use heated seats from the app....why?? I would love it if you could select "climate" from the app and simply select the seats you want heated. Is it just me or does that not seem to be a simple way to control the heated seats?
We used to have it on all 4 cars. Then it disappeared from all. Now it is showing for at least 2 of them. I don't know what criteria they are using to show it.
You can control the seats that way from the app if you are in the car but it's odd that climate is required if you are not in the car. Hopefully they will change it to work without climate.

A work around would be to set the temp to whatever it says it is already?
I think that would work but the climate would still be running, but perhaps just enough to maintain the set temperature.

Not just you
Me too!Not just the app. Turning on the rear seat heaters without cabin heat is an awkward multi step dance with the in-car UI.
Dec 19th Elon tweeted that the App will be updated "next week" to include "service calls".. is this the update? I got the feeling he was talking about a more immediate type of a button because he referenced a call about a flat tire.
Is this new feature what we'd use for roadside assistance?.. or just for non-emergent scheduling of service?
I keep imagining what I'm going to do when I need immediate help on the highway. Do I use this app? I want a button that says "immediate roadside assistance" if I'm on a dark highway the word 'schedule' feels worrisome. I have roadside assistance with my insurance but that also worries me that they may not be Tesla educated. But even they have and "emergency roadside assistance" button from their app (Geico)
Thanks for any help.
(Ps- also when I try the new 'schedule service' button on the app it just continuously tries to load but never does)

In your car, you can click on the Roadside Assistance link after touching the Tesla T and it will call them via a paired phone.
Anyone else get default off? I wonder what causes the variation?
Today mine said the were heating 2/3's but when I got in the car the driver seat was 3/3... some quirky bugs
Doesn't work when the cabin is cold -- and, really, when else are you going to want to pre-heat the seats.
As I mentioned above, if the cabin is cold, even if you set the target temperature to "Low", it will still turn on the front windshield defroster/heater and therefore heat the whole cabin.

I thought that remote heated seats was a strange remote option.
I mean.....you feel the seats heating up in 15 seats when you are sitting in them.
I agree Garlan... I'm not really a heated seat user anyway. Maybe for one min to knock off the cold, then I turn it off or it starts to feel like a hot-flash.. can't believe I just admitted I know what that feels like.... sad but true..
Now heated steering wheels ...I love! it's the only reason I miss my Armada.. well, and it could pull a boat... I digress..

I didn’t understand the phone book reference either. I just watched the video and got a good laugh.

The scheduling has since returned on my app, but now I am unable to connect to my car. I wonder if Tesla is having server issues after this latest update.

I really wasn't saying that you are old; merely aged. Anyways, I got you beat by a few years. My birth year is the same as your age; well +1900.
