Well we have a thread dedicated to logging car software updates over time, so we might as well pin a one stop shop to track the app over time.

With this thread we will focus on iOS, so if someone else wants to volunteer to spin up a similar thread for Android please do.

Please reply into the thread with thoughts, comments, updates, and more; and I will update this original post as updates come out.

Funny you should suggest this, I was just about to start a thread to discuss issues/experiences specific to Android app users (mostly concerning the performance of phone-as-key, since it is allegedly less reliable than with iOS). But I like this idea better... it's much more comprehensive and structured. :)

Anyway... done!

Now updating to 4.0...

“This release contains minor fixes and improvements.”

That seems odd with the move to 4.0.

EDIT - I’m tired lol. 4.0 is the star rating, version is 3.3.4 :confused:

Is there a way to share access to the app without compromising private data? I rented a TM3 the other day and was only given the card key, which is adequate for access... but the remote features via the app are where the car really shines... pre-conditioning the car, [eventually] summon, etc.

no. You need to either have the owner's login credentials or the owner needs to have Tesla add your tesla account information to your login information. neither really an option for a rental.

v3.3.5 for iOS is out. It only appears to add troubleshooting help for Phone Key issues ("turn off bluetooth and then turn it back on").

Is there any way to change the Frunk open button on splash screen to Trunk? I just don't find the Frunk useful enough to
have that as the main button.
Unfortunately no you can't customize, but remember the trunk can be released by the grab handle with your (phone) proximity where as the frunk can only be released via "button".

Why does the app take FOREVER to actually open when you open it? I mean it opens but then "updates" and that process takes anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute... today in fact mine won't stop trying to update but it never does. Grr....
That's really the car not the app. Once the car hits that deep sleep it tends to take a while.

3.4.0 is out but only appears to add functionality for Powerwall with time-based controls for those with variable energy rates.

3.4.1 is our with Speed Limit Mode, but it wants version 2018.24 and up so this must be coming soon!

Have the new app, but don't see anything new revealing itself. Since the app knows what version of SW is on the car do you think it can configure and add config items in the app on the fly based on car SW version?

I just got summons on our model 3 - today! I'm in Omaha at the world series & can't try it out until I get back home but my wife sent me a screenshot of summons now live & I see it active on my phone app as well!
Love this car!

WHAT? So you got a SW update on the car? Can you tell us the SW version from your phone app? It's at the bottom of the main screen.

Updated OP to include a reference to the activation of the Summon feature along side car firmware 2018.24.

Have you seen the following ( from Slashdot: )

The Car Connectivity Consortium, a mix of major smartphone and automotive brands, has posted a Digital Key 1.0 standard that will let you download a virtual key that can unlock your vehicle, start the engine and even share access with other drivers. Engadget reports: Unsurprisingly, the technology focuses on security more than anything else. Your car manufacturer uses an existing trusted system to send the digital key to your phone, which uses close-range NFC to grant access to your ride. You can't just unlock your car from inside your home, then, but this would also force would-be thieves to be physically present with your phone when trying to unlock your car. Apple, LG and Samsung are among the phone brands in the group, while car brands including BMW, Hyundai and the Volkswagen group are also onboard. There's also talk of a version 2.0 spec that will promise more interoperability between cars and mobile devices in the first quarter of 2019.

If you are interested in the high-level architecture, see "Building Digital Key Solution for Automotive" (SIC). The "standard" appears to be little more than the above high-level architecture. This is hardly a standard because it lacks the normal feature requirements and just as importantly, a clear delineation between what is in the standard, what is precluded and most importantly, inter-operability conditions. But at least other manufacturers are seeing the value of digital keys.

Click on the settings cog upper left and you'll see "Video Guides" just beneath the Loot Box.

Just updated and am amazed at how fast the app (and car?) wakes up. I’m away from home so I don’t know if the car is actually responding that quickly but, just the other day, it was interminably long waiting to open the frunk as I walked toward the car so this seems great.

Videos are the same ones they have on the website. Honestly, since I wasn’t able to access the app until I had a car actually handed over to me, I’m not sure having videos on the app will do much to speed up delivery. Has that changed?

It is just as fast in person and the walk up while loading app to open frunk process is almost perfectly timed now. Added bonus, the Bluetooth is even more reliable than it was right after I had my phone's BT antenna replaced. Next chance I get, I'm going to test it with background app refresh turned off (like to save phone battery by only using that for Strava - wish they didn't require it).

Videos are the same ones they have on the website. Honestly, since I wasn't able to access the app until I had a car actually handed over to me, I'm not sure having videos on the app will do much to speed up delivery. Has that changed?
I guess that has changed and all you have to do is watch these videos on the app to get access (including the loot box) so that seems a good way to help acclimate new buyers.

I'm wondering if there's a lot of demand on the servers for the app and that's causing the inconsistency in access (either by design or errors). When I can log in, load times are long.

I'm imagining a huge flood of new users suddenly all trying to use the app at once.
