I'm going to mark the Tesla Model 3 as onboarded, but I want to encourage any @Model 3 owners drivers to share any feature requests for new features you'd like to see in Sidecar I'll be using this input to prioritize features I add to the app over the coming weeks.

Once anyone has tested remote commands, please share whether or not they worked in viewtopic.php?t=74

@jasontwright check your mail I believe commands might not work until I spin up an instance of https://github.com/teslamotors/vehicle-command. Going to be looking into that today.

Appears to have worked for me as shown in the screenshots. However, I haven’t received the promo code so can’t confirm whether the commands are working.

To support Tesla commands it looks like I need to add a step to the Tesla login flow that gets you to install a virtual key in your car that acknowledges you're ok with Sidecar being able to initiate commands remotely. I need someone with a Tesla account to verify that I'm setting the flow up correctly though. Anyone with a Tesla, if you can visit the following page, follow the instructions, and report the results back here, that would be super helpful!

@Model 3 owners @Model S owners @Model Y owners if you were getting a "Failed to extract authentication token" error, please respond here and I will add you to the TestFlight build which includes some improved error handling so that we can try to identify the root cause of this.

I’ve two Teslas in my account, one is one of my friend Tesla Model Y. Can we add a feature to remove unwanted veichles in the app??

Tracking this as a feature request — thank you for the suggestion

That did it. The token step was definitely the clunky part but it’s working great now.

The flow for syncing account tokens to the watch is a bit clunky due to a bug in Tesla's auth implementation on the watch (I'm in contact with them about this but it hasn't been resolved yet).

I'm writing up a post on the flow right now, but a quick summary:

Add your Tesla account in Sidecar on your iPhone via Settings > Vehicles & accounts > Tesla.
Once authenticated (and confirmed that you're pulling data as expected), go to Settings > Vehicle & accounts and tap your tesla account.
On this page you need to tap the "Create a companion token" button. You will need to log in again in order to generate a new token that will be used by your watch.
Once you've successfully logged in, your account page should show "Companion token is ready to transfer".
Go back to the Settings > Vehicle & accounts page on your iPhone; leave this page open.
On your watch, open Sidecar.
Tap the settings gear > Vehicles & accounts
Back on your iPhone, you should see the "Synchronize accounts to your watch" button activate. Tap it.
Your Tesla token should transfer to your Apple watch after ₁₀-15 seconds.
