Unreliable and almost irrelevant/not useful
Beyond that; I’ve used the remote lock feature in real time once or twice.
Without any real detailed charging data, unreliable status updates, and not many other features of value - I don’t see a great case to renew the subscription to this service.
At minimum a paid service and app should consistently and reliably provide the services being offered. Especially from a global publicly traded corporation with deep pockets. We’ve had cars for around 100 years without a screen telling us oil and tire pressure status. I for one, could go 100 more. What’s the value add of this service?

It’s Ok, but a far cry from what it could be
-App shows that the vehicle is plugged in, but you have to tap the status box to confirm if it’s actually charging, and even then, it’s a bit ambiguous. What if the app showed an animation (little electrons flowing into the car or something like that)? That way, you get the live status at a glance, without the conflicting or ambiguous info - is it plugged in and charging, or just plugged in?
-The app allows you to change the charging schedule, but it doesn’t sync to the vehicle. So you have to go to the vehicle to actually make the schedule change stick.
-Location is slow to update.
-No charging stats or data - just how full the battery is (or isn’t), and how full the gas tank is. What if it showed the odometer settings like on the hybrid info page in the driver display -miles/km driven on battery vs driven on gas? KWh used, or even better, electricity cost?
-On the Health page, if you tap any of the categories, the next level down menu just displays “power train. Engine malfunction” and a blurb about the indicator light. This might lead a user to think there’s an engine malfunction while everything is working fine.
It seems like someone said “make an app”, but didn’t think through what users actually might want. Or ask the users what functionality they want.
Have a look at the Tesla app to see what a good car app could be.
