Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I have had my 2023 Model Y for 2.5 years, and I’m had an iPhone 12 Pro Max, never had an issue with the phone key feature, always unlocks car and starts when I have my phone on me. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and all of a sudden, every couple days, my Tesla phone key does not work. Car won’t unlock when I pull the handle, it won’t unlock even if I manually click unlock in the app. Restarting the app does not fix it, the only fix is to turn off my phone and turn it back on. It seems like apple or Tesla has to fix this bug, it’s within the iPhone app itself with Bluetooth or something.

Great app — very convenient and well-designed. Everything works smoothly and looks nice. However, there’s one problem: when charging, if you scroll up or down, you can accidentally change the charging limit just by touching it. This can cause mistakes. It would be much better if changing the charge limit required a double tap or confirmation.
argodo
The app worked great for a while until recently when low power mode would become stuck on the app and would not allow me to view Sentry mode. Toggling Low Power mode within the app would throw a error code about command not being sent.
