Ok could've gone with a less intense bleep than a loud trunk honk gave me the fright of my life lol

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

Sorry about that. I'll try to find something a bit less "blunt" next time. 🤷🏻☺️

Great video and explanation Lee of this new feature. Using your example of opening the boot why not use the bigger tesla widget and add 5 icons to include this function. That way just unlock your phone, select the tesla widget in the stack and hit the button 😊

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

Yes, lots of options. I must admit I haven't spent nearly as much time in the shortcuts app over the years that I would have liked to. Will need to find some time over the next little while to have a good play with it.

@Jaccurtis 10 месяцев назад

FYI there are more Tesla actions in the shortcuts app if you set up a new shortcut via the '+'

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip! You're right there is loads more there. May have to make another video in a month or two once I've had a good play and thought of some cool new scenes to create.

Hi. Thanks for the video. I have the latest Tesla App and Latest Shortcuts. When I find Tesla in Shortcuts, the “see all” is not there and also the “Turn on Tesla Shortcut with Siri” is also not there. Basically I can’t get Siri to run any of the shortcuts. 😞

@notacarguy_au 4 месяца назад

HI, I'm afraid I am not sure what else you can do. It sounds like you're doing everything right. I have found that if you have used some other apps like Watchla or Stats up to setup shortcuts before, sometimes that can cause this from not working.

@HasanNiz 10 месяцев назад

Nice video, thanks Lee, I’m in the market for a smart lock for my main door, how’s the Aqara d100?

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, so far so good. We've had for quite a while now and we are very happy we got it.

@JohnSmith-pg7eo 10 месяцев назад

It would be good if you could set up an automation for when you start pre conditioning the heated seats and steering wheel gets activated too.

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

Someone else actually commented that there are quite a few more options than I found before I made the video and I think those options are in there..

@danlecroy1 10 месяцев назад

New Tesla shortcuts. Had to reboot my phone after upgrade for the shortcuts to up. The trunk open and close not working for me. Says it opens and says it close but doesn’t. Everything else works fine.

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

So, pretty much exactly the same experience I had.

@Ringo_Lung 10 месяцев назад

Thx for sharing! Mine trunk function also not working. How about Apple Watch shortcuts? I cannot use the Hey Siri in Apple Watch

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

I did manage to get the Siri on my watch to work once, and then it didn't. I think maybe it only worked as I was within range of my phone? I need to spend a bit more time with the whole setup and play with it to see why it did work once and now I can't get it work on the watch either.

@gsingh2 10 месяцев назад

What software are you running on your car? I’m experiment the boot issue as well - so I’m wondering it’s because the car needs to be at the latest

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

I think I am on the latest one which is 26.7.

@BobbieGWhiz 8 месяцев назад

Opening and closing the trunk works for me. I don’t have any special technical skills.

@notacarguy_au 8 месяцев назад

@brandonmatt0718 10 месяцев назад

I noticed that while the command doesn't work to actually open the trunk, it does unlock it so I use the manual release button above the license plate without having to unlock the doors. Not sure that's the intended function since I've seen it actually open the trunk for other users, so it's probably a bug.

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

That's interesting, I've found that using the button on the trunk has always unlocked the car and opened the trunk for me. So at least from my experience unlocking the trunk or car via the app isn't needed. Am I understanding correctly what you've said?

@brandonmatt0718 10 месяцев назад

@@notacarguy_au Yes, that's correct. However, I have drive door unlock mode enabled which disables the rear trunk unlock button functionality. So now using the open the rear trunk command shortcut -- it seems it gave me the ability to unlock the trunk now without having to use the app, so I believe. Albeit, it doesn't actually open.

@@killianmacdonald Thanks for letting me know. Yes, you're right, that does kinda defeat the purpose. hopefully somewhere between Apple and Tesla, they can sort it out.

@wavensdorvad 10 месяцев назад

Another minor error I’ve found is that, although everything is working as usual, the app tells me to “Enable Bluetooth” under “Safety and drivers”

@wavensdorvad 10 месяцев назад

@russdoig3981 10 месяцев назад

@TeslaOG 10 месяцев назад

Mine asks me which app I want to use when I set up the Tesla shortcuts. It will never just do what I ask, there’s always another app or list of them to choose from and so I have to give two separate commands second command being Tesla I’m reference for Siri to use the Tesla app. How can I fix this?

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

I am not entirely sure I understand what you mean, but if I do understand correctly, I think you need to remove to shortcuts from the other apps that can control your Tesla. I used the Watchla app for a while and removed the shortcuts that it created before I applied the Tesla ones. I can see how the Shortcuts app could get confused as you're saying the same thing and it could apply to two apps and so it needs to ask you which one you mean?

@sanjayselvaraj1090 10 месяцев назад

Hi, I made a booking for a Model 3 in Melbourne back in June and my expected delivery frame is June-August. But its already almost end of August whereas I didn't get any updates from tesla regarding the VIN or delivery information. When I tried calling them, they said don't keep your expectations for the time frame it might be delayed. So, this is how tesla usually does?

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

That wasn't my experience, the time frame was pretty accurate for us. But I suppose there can always been challenges from time to time. I do appreciate that it can be frustrating waiting for the car to arrive and not having much insight into what is going on. If you want there is a service called VaderPrime that when I did it was $15 per month and once you have a VIN they can give you more insight into were your car may be.

Tesla Siri shortcuts are not working from the Apple watch, I did check and they are there, but the watch says I need an app or car key in wallet.

@notacarguy_au 8 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear that. I had that issues a few times with third party apps, but not with since this update. I hate to be "that guy" but are your phone, watch and Tesla app all up to date?

@mohamedmohamed9462 6 месяцев назад

Strange when I say a command it ask me which app to use like Tesla, Tessie or Wallet!!! Can you help

@notacarguy_au 6 месяцев назад

I think, and I stress, that I think as I don't know for sure is that the phone gets confused if multiple apps have the same commands. So you could try turning off Siri commands in the other apps and only using the shorts cuts option. You could also try the ol, uninstall and re-install some apps to see if that helps? 🤷🏻

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

Good question. I think it's a yes and a no. I only starting playing with it today and sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I haven't worked out what I am doing differently. I think when it didn't work, my watch was out of range of my phone. But I need to do more testing.

@freecarllee1 10 месяцев назад

@@notacarguy_au I noticed the shortcuts don't automatically go to the Apple Watch. Those need to be added via the Shortcuts app / Apple Watch in order for them to work that way.

@notacarguy_au 6 месяцев назад

I'm sorry I am not sure how to help with that. As in my other comment, I've found the only thing that has helped in situation like this is to remove and other apps or turn off their "Siri functions". As I think the phone gets confused as to which app can and can't send commands. But that's just a theory, I don't know that for sure.

@transphotonic 10 месяцев назад

Hey Lee, Have you ever had that thing where your car slams the brakes out of nowhere (phantom breaking) while on autopilot? If you have, how often does it go down, and what do you think about it?

@notacarguy_au 10 месяцев назад

I have had it happen a few times. Not that much over the year that I've had the car. It's a good example of why you do still need to pay attention when your driving on autopilot. I think I had a short example of it happening in this video and talked about it a bit there. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y6pqIQWqx0Y.html

I have two Tesla cars. How can I select the car I want? If I can't select two cars, how can I define a default car?

@notacarguy_au 9 месяцев назад

That's a good question. I don't know for sure as I can't test it, but I think if you put the name of specific Tesla in the command that may do it. So for example my car is called Blue Flame, so if I said "Hey Siri open the trunk on Blue Flame" That may work. Hope that makes sense and let me know how you go. ☺️

@@notacarguy_au thanks for tye quick reply. I was able to figure it out. Under my account if I select say model S it will lock that by just saying lock Tesla. However, your method is better.
