  • Does one thing very well

    My needs aren’t complicated… I just want the car to charge when the electricity is off peak in the UK between 12-7 (on my tarriff). Why on earth teslas system only allows you to set EITHER an start or a stop time and not both is completely beyond me. It’s crazy to not offer that …. Fortunately this app does. Simple and effective

  • Still new

    Potential is there to be a great app. I was able to select my electric provider but not able to find the right plan. As a workaround, I was going to manually enter the schedule but the app and website are both buggy in that I wasn’t able to save the schedule.

    Charging by cheapest or optimized is not based on my electric provider’s schedule. Would be ideal if it was using the rate schedule entered - except earlier issue.

    Would be good to be able to base the gas rate on local prices and also customize assumption on another gas car previously owned.

    Would be good if you were able to configure pre conditioning.

  • Scam

    Tesla confirmed and requested not used that application.
  • There’s a glitch!

    I downloaded this app about a week ago. The app worked perfectly fine for my first charge.

    I needed to charge my car tonight from 39% to 80%. The app showed me information at 43% to 44% for 7 mins 39 secs then showed me 53% to 54% for 9 mins 4 secs and again showed me 63% to 64% 6 mins 10 secs. What happened to the rest of the charge? My car is still being charged and it’s not showing anything at this point…really disappointed how the app is working out!

  • Decent, but no multiple charge locations

    Would be an amazing app if you could track charging on more than one location. I have two homes with different power providers. Also my warehouse as well.

    Almost there.
  • Great app but missing customization

    I really like this app, but there are some customization things that I would have liked to have seen. The first being that it forces you to compare the cost of fuel versus the BMW, but I am more interested in the cost of fuel versus the vehicle I just dumped to buy my Tesla (a Ford F-150). Obviously fuel consumption in the F-150 is higher than a BMW so their comparison isn’t really giving me an accurate fuel savings. Little things like that which would truly polish it out.

    We are glad that you like the app! We are adding custom vehicle comparison and custom fuel choices to the app, so you will be able to compare what you want. I will make sure we reach out once these features goes live in the app.
  • Useless app

    Confused what the value of this app is when it refuses to show me how much I’m being charged to charge my car despite me uploading my utility bill as well as even manually selecting my energy plan.
  • Amazing to help keep track of spending!

    Great app with excessive features to fulfill all of your hearts content. I only use the app for my electricity costs, yet it can also be used to allow your Tesla to be chared during off-peak electricity hours in order to help you save money if you have a bill that varies depending on time of day, peak usage, demand, etc. Great app, would definitely reccomend for any Tesla owner. Best of all, it’s completely free to use!

  • Doesn’t track entire charge!

    Trying out the app to keep track of my charging costs. Last night I charged in 1 session from 55% to 80%, but the app said I charged twice; once from 65%-69% and a second time from 74% to 78%. Where’s the rest of it? No way to accurately track my costs if it only sees small parts of my entire charge. Fix this, and you’ve got a good app!

    We apologize for your poor initial experience with Optiwatt. Unfortunately We had a communication issue from August 8th to 17th which caused this issue. We have since fixed the issue and the app should be functioning properly.
  • Still wondering

    Still wondering if I can get my past charging data into the app. You presumably have access to the car’s data, would be great to have the past data (just bought the car in march) rather than just since the app install date. Other apps do this.
