First time I leave home after charging my M3 to 100%.
It gets that by waking up your car and connecting to it. The more you check it, the more you will induce battery drain as the car loses more battery when awake, than when asleep.I open the app. It shows 98%. How does the app get that ? I am very curious as I am couple hundreds miles away from it.
I am afraid 98% is the number when I left home. And that's all the app remembers.
The car is connected to the internet, and your phone is connected to the internet. The phone is just connecting to the servers at Tesla's headquarters, and asking to check the car. It communicates with the car to get the car to report its status. You can do lots of things from the other side of the world if your phone and the car both have internet connections. You can remotely unlock the doors. You can remotely activate driving, etc. if you have the internet connection to get the commands to the car.I open the app. It shows 98%. How does the app get that ?

Thanks so much for this very USEFUL info. It opens up lots of possibilities.The car is connected to the internet, and your phone is connected to the internet.

Note that the Tesla uses AT&T network connectivity. So even here in the South Bay, there may be some random spots where you will lose signal.Thanks so much for this very USEFUL info. It opens up lots of possibilities.
Not sure of the point you are making here. If the car is parked it will of course use the AT&T network or WiFi, so that should not be an issue - unless the car is in motion. The app uses whatever cell service or WiFi is active on the phone; works just fine internationally as well.Note that the Tesla uses AT&T network connectivity.

True, but I was thinking more like the OP’s car is at his home and, therefore, WiFi should be available. But your point is well taken.The point is that there may be some houses in this area that don't have AT&T coverage.
edit: And just because the car may be parked somewhere, there's no guarantee that there will be a recognized WiFi signal to attach itself to.
My car is at home, my home use T mobile. My M3 is not connected to my home WiFi because I have not set it up that way.
