Horrible app

app is hard to navigate and hard to set times and addresses, start trip and end trip is the dumbest thing if your tracking my location. Not even worth the few bucks

Response from developer

Hi Logan, we just wanted to follow up and check if you are still having trouble with starting or ending trips. Please contact support through About > Send Feedback in the app so our support team can assist. Thank you.

Can’t use shuttle service

I don’t see the option to navigate to shuttle schedule. I only get to access carpool thing. Pressing home wouldn’t take me to home page.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your previous feedback. Currently, only the Palo Alto Network has shuttle service available in the app. We recommend reaching out to WPTransportation_RD@tesla.com for more information on the activation plans for the Fremont shuttle service.

Useless

Cannot see schedule of trips later in the day
App is slow unresponsive and terribly clunky UX
If I could give negative stars it would be -10

Terribly buggy and overcomplicated

This app is full of bugs I had to force close it like 5 times within the first few minutes of using it. Also, this app is way too complicated. I just want to see the shuttle stops and times. Why are there so many tabs and none of them are what I want. The old app was way better

unable to complete rides

the buttons dont even appear to confirm the rides so nobodys getting paid. thanks again, you just love taking ur employees money i guess.

Response from developer

We apologize for the inconvenience you're facing with completing a ride. We're here to help you maximize your experience with the Tesla Go Carpool app and the rewards it offers. Please reach out to us through the About page then select Send Feedback, including any relevant screenshots, videos, and timestamps of the issue. Our team will promptly investigate and address your concern. We'd also like to inform you that we've just released a new app version 4.19 to fix bugs and enhance system performance. Thank you for your understanding.

Poor UI design

I am not even sure where to start. The fact that there is 1.7 ratings says a lot of what the app is capable for. Anyhow I will try to pinpoint the exact issues and hopefully be able to fulfill the ultimate goal of shared rides.

1. App doesn’t let me select the rider although I see a list available. There is no selection button or anything that does it. I hope the developers try to use the app themselves.

2. If the whole intent is to share rides the app should simply let me select an individual for the ride. The app doesn’t let me select the old people . Although the same people can easily text and make arrangement as a help anyhow. Again point of app is defeated.

3. Lot of people have already mentioned the complete trip so won’t repeat again.

4. I can’t copy the address in google maps directly. At the bare minimum if the app can’t support map you can atleast make it to start navigation in one of the apps.

The list is long but I really hope the developers try to use the app themselves and experience the front end. The ultimate objective of shared rides is not happening with this version for sure.

We appreciate the feedback and your taking the time to provide it. We can see the frustration in your list and want to help you make the most out of the app and the Tesla carpooling initiative like many other users are doing daily to get their rewards. The basics of making, starting, and completing rides are outlined in these articles with a couple specifically targeted Adding Companions and the Private Rides feature, https://support.liftango.com/en/support/solutions/articles/43000672836-how-to-create-carpool-bookings- https://support.liftango.com/en/support/solutions/articles/43000631385-private-rides-feature and https://support.liftango.com/en/support/solutions/articles/43000694030-carpool-adding-extra-passengers-companion. The completion of a ride is part of the Tesla policy for managing rewards, see https://ts.la/goteslahelp for details. When you have started a ride choose the directions icon (orange circle with an arrow) to open your device's default map app with the destination included, this is also outlined in the carpool bookings article above. Finally, please do not hesitate to reach out to us by navigating to the About page in the app and selecting Send Feedback, we are then able to help you out directly by understanding your profile, your selected network (Tesla location), and importantly how your trip requirements fall into the rest of the Tesla carpooling ecosystem.

No reminder to complete a trip

When commuting, I'm not really thinking about having to open an app to complete the trip. I just want to get to work on time. What's even more frustrating is by the time I remember, it's usually the next day when I'm getting ready to drive again and since more than a day has passed, I'm unable to hit "complete". Why is the onus only on the drivers to complete a trip? The carpooler should be able to do that seeing as how they don't even have to be the one driving. Surely they can hit a button and are happy to to get the incentive? Even if I do remember and it's a couple hours after the trip, the complete button doesn't show up and only after I try to access the trip multiple times does it finally display the complete button. These seem like very simple changes to implement

Hi! Thank you for your review! We appreciate your suggestion and might consider the ride auto-complete for future improvements, but please note Tesla's policy to complete the ride within 24 hours (status updates beyond 24 hours cannot be done). For Tesla policy and rewards concerns, contact ts.la/goteslahelp. Thank you.

App works well - incentives not paying out

Update - myself and a few others who use this app aren’t receiving the daily incentive, and haven’t in a while it seems after checking it.

App works well, the only feedback I can think about giving is make the trips more automated without having to manually complete ride. It’s not even an issue, just an idea to throw your way.

Thanks for the feedback. The idea of automatically completing a ride is a really good one. We have been considering this in our pipeline and it brings with it a lot of really cool challenges, which we like to tackle. Anyone having issues with their Tesla incentives just need to reach out to ts.la/goteslahelp. Happy carpooling!
