New App feature

Where is this in the app and what version of the app are you on?

Charging

Yes! I was just about to submit a request they add the option to toggle accessory power in the app. Beat me to it. Thanks, Tesla!

Literally just came out. (Version 4.50.5-3608 on my phone) There’s a new “Charging” sub-menu (“tab” as Tesla calls it) that has everything in one place

They need to add low power by location

Still no button to just start preconditioning though? I would rate the app 5 stars in the play store if they added that

Ah cool, doesn't look like it's out on Android yet Looks like as of at least 11.13 it's out on Android

What’s the use case for this?

If you have a fridge or secondary dashcam, it's beneficial.

Wasn’t this already available for a few months now?

I do this through an iOS shortcut, right on my homescreen. Mich quicker than opening the app, plus i can say „siri, preheat my car“

I would like a ”Low power mode only at home” option.

Not on 2016 model S

He's probably talking about battery preconditionning wich is not the same as the cabin preconditionning shortcut. I'm also in a edge case where the supercharger is at 10 min from my appartment and canadian winter is starting where I live. Battery is still cold when I arrive at SC causing slow charging speed. It would be a gift from the gods if I could activate battery preconditionning from the app without being obligated to enter a supercharger in the car navigation app to start the process.

Low power yes, accessory power I don’t believe so

I know you were able to turn on “keep accessory power on” on the charging menu only in the car before this app update

I had thought under set schedules you could set precondition times and it preconditions the battery and interior. I may be wrong

I keep Starlink in my car. There are times I’d like to toggle it on/off remotely.

Yeah but I don't want to precondition every time. I just want it to when I am going to charge it

When I go to a supercharger my car starts preconditioning as soon as I enter it into navigation. I’m in the US Northeast. It has a message on the screen. I’ll try to take a picture next time I go

Yeah but that's not helpful if you live super close to the supercharger and it doesn't have enough time to warm up.

Me too. In the absence of this, I've customized the controls on the main app screen to include the Low Power icon for quick a toggle on/off.

I installed this version and I only have low power mode what the heck lol

What model and year car do you have?

22 Y LR, I do have accessory mode power available in the car...

Not on 2023 S

Yes, it’s been out for months.

You’re right. This is not new.

Weird. I have a 2018 M3 and have the option in my app.

it's new for the app. you could only do it from the car prior to this release.

Shocker! 🫩

When you click the “I” icon beside low power mode, does anything pop up for you?

No, it just darks the screen like a prompt is supposed to be there but nothing shows

This is not new

neither on 2018 s

it is lol

How long have you been able to remotely turn accessory power on and off then?

That’s a great features to add!
