oh hey sup guys m'kay PhD here and welcome to another video in the Tesla Model S P 100 D video series this one is going to be about the Tesla Motors app so I'm going to show you I mean it's an LTE connected car it's a tech product there's a lot going on there and there's some cool stuff that the app does right now but I also want to say that of course since this is a new Tesla video this is being recorded on the front facing camera on the 1 plus 3t and if I'm looking at this video quality right now I'm just looking back and forth between the V finder and the camera looks pretty good I mean you got a little a little bit depth of field going on the backgrounds blurred out yeah f 2.0 looking pretty good you'll also be able to see the new video from the back facing camera which isn't really a new sensor but there is an improved electronic image stabilization that you'd be able to see as well so let's go and take a look at the app so right off the bat I do get to address the fact that this app will probably be getting a major update within the next month or so Elon Musk has already tweeted and he's he's pretty much who announces all the new Tesla products that there's going to be a major update hopefully new UI hopefully the new Android app gets material design but this is what it looks like as of right now and I'll give some suggestions for what I would like to see but this is the way the app looks right now you can see it looks really old iOS so not a whole lot of iOS 10 looks going on here but this is what you get so after that the main controls are over here on the side you can put it in valet mode and valet mode will actually just super limit the car's performance so it won't be able to go super fast super quickly it'll limit you to 70 miles an hour and essentially the car is just for valets at that point it restricts all your personal information in the dash doesn't show you calendar events they need a pin code to turn that on or off and there's also notifications and you can turn notifications on whoa okay that crashed so that's a good start for the test laughs you can show notifications for things like charging when you're charging has been interrupted and other stuff like that apparently that crashes the app every time you want if you're watching this this app update is long overdue the fact that is crashing on like basic functions like this is pretty weird it actually works better on iOS than it does on Android anyway go ahead and show you the actually cool feature so down here at the bottom which is easy to reach since it's a big phone you get all the main controls for the phone you get to see where the car is whether it's locked or unlocked how much range you have left and that's actually going to look like your car no matter what color paint or wheels you get whether you get the sunroof that'll all be there and then you can see here this is the control section where you'll have a vent roof button that'll just vent the sunroof a little bit but side note I think the then roof function will be a lot less used because of the new software update which monitors the interior temperature of the car and will automatically use climate control to keep the temperature relatively even so if you're sitting on like hat a spot a cap hot hot asphalt you're sitting on hot asphalt in the summer and the interior temperature of the car gets up to like 105 degrees it'll automatically cool that down by your venting or using the air conditioning so you probably won't need to use the vent root function remotely as well but then the bottom is kind of the more fun stuff again you can lock the car if it's unlocked here you can unlock it if it's locked yes I want to unlock my vehicle and bam it's just unlocked behind me and the door handles came out and I can also honk the horn and flash the lights so here's our lights they're already on you can see they just glowed and here's the horn jeez that's loud alright so moving on down here at the bottom is your charge state you can set your charge limit basically for Tesla's and all their large lithium-ion batteries you don't want to charge them up to a hundred percent every single time that would be a max charge of 319 miles I don't need to do that every single day so unless I'm going on a road trip I'm going to charge to about 85 90 % which is about 280 miles and set that as my charge limit every night and when I'm charged and plugging in this will actually show me how much time I have left till I'm done charging so if I'm super charging it'll show that status I'm charging in my garage it'll do the same thing then over here on the right-hand side is your location that's to literally show you on a map the location of your car in case you're trying to remember where you parked a couple blocks away or if you're curious about if someone stole your car or something that'll be your location and then climate is like I mentioned earlier you can literally change the inside temperature of the car right now the interpret the interior temperature is 69 degrees if I turn on that interior temperature climate control it'll go ahead and start to set it to whatever temperature I have here so 72 degrees and you'll see the here your graphic turn-on when this finishes loading you'll see the air start to move into the car and usually within a couple of minutes you can fully heat the car there it is starting fully heat the car or fully cool down the car before you get into it so a couple minutes before you leave a restaurant if you know it's going to be cold outside or hot outside you can fix that in the car so there's one button I haven't pressed yet on the main home screen and that's that summon button right there summon sounds pretty modern summon is like the most modern version of ghost riding the whip that's possible right now so right now with this car is current hardware it'll be able to move straight forward and backward using the sensors all around the car to detect what's near it and you can choose the summon distance to be you know 15 feet 2025 feet and that's useful for if you're in a garage and it's a really tight space and it's kind of like my garage where I can hit the summon button summon it backwards and it will summon it back out of my garage without touching any of the walls without me being in the car at all so here's what a summon looks like on the current generation Hardware Tesla Model S it wakes up it checks the surroundings and then it just starts rolling forward until I tell it to stop or hit the key fob or walk up and press the door handle basically it'll just keep going forward detecting what's around it and it could go all the way over there if I don't tell it to but right now I think that's about good I'll have it stopped and we'll go ahead and deploy the handles and it is ready to go there's also something called home link which will allow me to connect the car to my garage door opener so I can reverse out of my garage with the reverse summon and I guess the neat part of that is it'll also open and close the garage door behind it so if I don't really want to pull into my garage I can walk up to the garage summon it backwards and it'll open the door behind it come out of the garage and close the garage door when it's done summoning which is pretty neat and again it'll kind of meet you there with the handles open no one's in the car no one's controlling it that is the future so that's pretty much it guys the app is super simple super outdated in terms of the way it looks looking forward to the update not only in terms of functionality but design and hopefully it doesn't crash anymore either and then just basic other functions like I'd like to be able to see like superchargers nearby that are open in the app I'd like to be able to have little things like you know when the trunk is open for like more than five minutes if it'll like beep at me and tell me hey your trunks been open for a while little things like that maybe being able to close the windows from inside when I know it's about to rain that would all be a welcome improve but until then that is it for the Tesla Model S P 100 D app and tool that app update comes and I'll probably make a video about what's new about it until then that's been it have a happy holiday if you're celebrating it thanks for watching toffee has the next one peace
