Same here... Just the main controls. Can't wait for 6.0.

Sorry, I didn't know this was already being discussed. Tried a quick search for "Tesla app 6.0," nothing came up.

That I could use (although rarely). As in that case where I've forgotten my fob and wasn't aware of it until I dropped off by wife and went somewhere else to shop.

The new IOS app has a nice new feature: an "Unlock Port" button on the Charge page. It doesn't seem to work with 5.9 on the car, but hopefully once the car is on 6.0, we'll be able to unlock the charge port from the app without unlocking the car. Then if you leave your phone number on a note with the car when charging, if someone calls you needing to charge and you decide to let them unplug you, you can do that without having to unlock the car or go back to it.

Many of you are trying to ditch the tiny fob and use their cell phone instead... WHY?! Just leave the damn thing in your pocket! At least you won't be screwed if your phone dies and your charger is locked inside the car.
The purpose of this feature is to be used for emergencies only; scenarios:
1. You lost your little fob.
2. You are away with the fob and you needed someone to drive your car somewhere while making sure they won't drive it again, unless you wanted them to.
3. You switched with the passenger and left the car but forgot to give him/her the fob and they drove away.
4. Your fob is dead.

Have a reference from Tesla for that statement?
I can see how someone might use it for emergencies, but perhaps I'd like to use it beyond that, and I haven't seen a definitive statement that Tesla considers it "for emergency use only".
I recently sent a link to my user community (about 4000 Exchange users) trying to encourage better password practises, judging from the feedback it at least had some impact:

Heh:
It would take a desktop PC about 10 sesvigintillion years to crack your password.
And it would take me about that long to type it in correctly.

Heh heh - what was that phrase again - 'looking a gift horse in the mouth'?
I wonder what other car company has OTA much less ANY software updates for their existing models?
I am tickled to get all of the upgrades I have received. And look forward to many more as they become available.

It works for firmware versions AFTER 6.0, so you have one last watch-and-wait.

I'm not sure what the benefit of this is, as the car tells you when it has downloaded an update and is ready to install. It's unlikely someone would want to install an upgrade while they're away in case something goes wrong.

That's odd. I see this on v1.1.1 of the app (on iPod Touch):
... and this on v2.0 (on iPad mini):
