Start Software Updates by Phone

93

Now Implemented!

Description

Allow the phone app to remotely activate an available OTA update if they are not near the car and the car is in a safe mode for this.

Competitive/Pricing/Notes

None.

Status

The Tesla phone app gets a notification when an OTA update is ready. From the app, you can elect to install the update if the car is parked. Available in late 2018 with version 9.
(The comments saying otherwise are for older software that didn’t have the feature).

The feature request is to "Start..." software updates from the Tesla app. This HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED.

I do not think this feature has been implemented as stated above. I am still unable to initiate a software update from my iPhone.

@moderator: I don't use android, but according @green1 comment, i'm not sure your can really initiate the update process only with your phone, with is the subject of the feature I suggest... If not, please remove (Implemented) status.

Now I'm missing something, it says added in Android app October 2015, sure it now notifies you, but I can't see any way to start the update without going out to the car?

Yes but you have to go inside the car to initiale the update. I'll prefers to initiate from my mobile phone.

I feel like I'm missing something here ... the screen DOES show there's an update available, as a clock icon next to the T in the middle of the top bar on the screen.  Touch it and you can start the update any time ...
