Tesla's CEO said that this update would be “coming very soon”. In fact, it came this morning. Torque News will cover it very soon. and you can read about it in our Tesla News section.

Heated windows and seat via app will be nice.
Recognize signs will be nice.
But i really miss quicker automatic brightness adjustment of the screens when the car enters a dark tunnel. The automatic brightness adjustment is really slow today (faster adjustment will increase driving safety as well).

I would like the App to alert if the car is NOT plugged in - sometimes I forget to plug in when I get home - major issues if I get out to the car in the morning and it is 2/3 depleted...
The App could easily communicate with the car, knows when scheduled charging time is and knows if it is plugged in. I would want an alert/alarm to go off to remind me to plug in!
