One of the best features of the Tesla mobile app is the ability to set climate preconditioning for a specific time, which is helpful to warm up and prepare the car before you go to work in the morning, for example.
But what if you have a busy schedule with kids or other activities, and also want your car’s climate to warm up or cool down based on certain days, time and location? The Tesla app doesn’t allow that.
That’s where the third-party app Tessie can help. It allows you to set up multiple automations that are either repeating, one-time, or based on your arrival and departure.
So let’s say you want your car’s climate to warm up on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7pm, before you head to the gym. This is possible but you can also set the location as well, so it only happens if your car is at home (say you’re always at home for dinner).
Once at the gym, an automation can be created to warm up your car at 8pm when you leave, with the days and time set for it to only occur at your gym’s location. These automations remove the need for you to always set your climate if you have scheduled events and places to be.
The Tessie automations let you pick an action from the following Tesla controls:
As you can see, the possibilities are endless in the automations you can set up based on time and days that are either repeating, one-time and based on location.
Tessie allows you to receive a notification when an automation starts and you can easily enable or disable the automations you’ve created.
A recent Tesla software update disabled some window features due to the NHTSA, but with Tessie automations, you can ensure your windows are closed or vented based on your location, time, day and more.
