doesnt mention its only an expensive paid subscription service before you sign up with an account.
Garbage. Charges me 2.5x the going rate and won't let me cancel. Totally unnecessary.
stay away immediately launches into subscription
it keeps starting and stopping the charger.
Pay wall.
I just want to cancel at this point. its impossible. I did the $6 basic trial just to see what the app offered. apon deciding to go for the 2nd most tier and try it ive now had this app get blocked from my bank 8x. I have paid the subscription. I click cancel it sends me on an endless loop to Google play where of course neither of these tiers are in my subscriptions to cancel. im actually annoyed with this app.
Ridiculous price for a few stats
over priced developed by a money hungry thief.
Can't add virtual key to car, so app doesn't work. troubleshooting steps are one line and didn't address the issue. Trial very deceptive, said two weeks but when I subscribed it charged me a month. I was a subscriber for years in the past and wanted to revisit to see how it had improved.
lots of small issues reported by multiple users. instead of trying to fix them the developers blame Tesla.
Installed app tried linking up my 2023 Model 3 and everything half worked,uninstalled app ,didn't subscribe, yet yesterday the app tried to bill me twice for like $70.
besides for noting that tire pressure is low, I don't see any value over what the normal app does. the UI is blue with more buttons in one place and there are some minor features I don't need - like api stuff. So, paying $5 a month to save a few clicks is not worth it to me
overall score reduced to zero because now the app is completely non-functional
Beware "Free trial"! Downloaded app and unfortunately put in my payment information. App would never register and never displayed any data from my car. Immediately deleted and canceled subscription. Still got charged $75 for something I will never ever use. Scam operation
Will not let you cancel the app
bad app...they are only in for your.money
Requires registering before you can even see their ripoff prices Edit: obligatory scam answer from them below, as others have pointed out there is no helpful prices in the description. And just because it takes quickly to register doesn't mean I want this scam company to steal my personal info
Not really that good in my opinion
You have to pay to use the app. Just use the tesla app honestly it's good enough. Tesla app was literally designed by Tesla for Tesla at no additional cost. I cannot justify paying money for info I can already access on the original free app or in the car.
app is fine but I won't support an extremely unethical company attempting to trick customers into a paid plan. disgusting behavior
I would give Zero stars if I could
Crazy asking price.
I can no longer recommend this app. You've been billing me for almost a year without notifying me that the pricing had changed. When I checked my Google Play subscription, it still showed the legacy price of $4.99, which was fine. However, the app stopped working, which suggests you intentionally disabled functionality for legacy users, effectively forcing people like me to upgrade in order to continue using the app. Never again.
Excessively high price m
very very over priced
Unable to update the app, stuck in 1939
Expensive monthly subscription. Don't even bother installing, not worth the bandwidth.
Sell your tesla like I did. You will feel great. App greatly reduced my samsung watch battery life. Response to developer. I had the car for 18 months. Linked to my samsung watch. The battery life deteriorated once I installed the app on my watch. Having access to the app on my watch was one of the primary reasons why I subscribed to the app. Do not get this app if you have a Samsung watch. Unless you like to charge it ALL THE TIME.
Downloaded the app and was immediately presented with a subscription page, with no free option to explore how it works. There is a 14-day trial, but many people (myself included) aren’t comfortable subscribing straight away and then needing to remember to cancel. A basic free tier with limited features would make this much more approachable.
App doesn't connect to car and shows old data. enabling watch features via subscription is way too expensive.
The app is very well made and has valuable features, unfortunately the app is pretty much useless unless you pay a monthly subscription or a lifetime fee. I understand that the developers of Tessie put a lot of work into their app and want to charge for their hard work. But I personally do not think it's worth the money. *This is coming from a person that dislikes subscription models in general.
---update: even more outrageous price increase to $499.00.--- Not worth the outrageous price of $399 (lifetime) or 14.99 a month! This is really way overpriced for an app that repeats the same functions of the tesla app and some additional data what other apps already give you for free or at a fraction of the cost such as tezlab or tronity.
Good app but had to remove it, Kept disconnecting my phone Key and slowing the official Tesla app
