It seems to me that there's a lot of value for a Tesla owner to automate things and set actions. But it requires a third party app or teslafi to do it.
Examples immediately obvious to me (I'm new to this) are around charging, eg I have set mine to revert to an 80% charge limit every afternoon, figuring if I'm going on a big trip I'll set up a bigger charge overnight, or I might mess with it during a trip, but aside from that I want it to keep things in "best practice" territory without thinking. When I revert to a routine with a long journey at a particular time in the week I may set up a higher max charge a couple of hours before departure so I leave with a full and warm battery.
Also there's some ability to automate the enabling or disabling of sentry mode but this seems in practice to be to disable it at all tagged locations or nothing.
Also of course HVAC before normal commute departure or whatever.
I've only had mine a week though, so would be interested to hear what others have done.
Anyone care to share any bright ideas? Or the glaringly obvious that I haven't thought of?
