An update to Tesla's mobile app software lets owners remotely activate their heated seats and steering wheels.
Last week, the Tesla mobile application's fart Easter eggs stole the update's spotlight; this week, as Tesla owners begin their holiday travels, its new climate control features are in the spotlight.
Via the application, you can remotely heat your seats and steering wheel, choosing from low to high heat on individual seats to endure everyone will be comfortable and cozy in their respective places.
Additionally, the application allows users to schedule an appointment to have their vehicle serviced through the app – no need for any phone calls. You can pick the date and time on your smartphone. This feature comes as a response to the recent onslaught of customer complaints regarding painfully slow service.
Last month, Musk tweeted the company's plans to also integrate a technician request option into the application, which will bring Tesla service experts out to fix some of the most common Tesla issues that don't require a tow or trip to a repair shop. That feature will likely arrive in the next software update.
Since Musk proclaimed that Tesla's "service & parts supply in general will be the top Tesla priority", improvements have been steadily trickling out to customers. The new software is only available on version 3.8.0 of the app, which was released on Dec 21 for iPhone and Android. – AFP Relaxnews
