Amazing
Simply amazing. A must have for Tesla owners.
Amazing
This app gives you access that you otherwise would not get with the Tesla mobile app. There are other products that give you physical buttons for this that cost quite a bit, but this is a great lower cost option. Highly recommend.
Thank you :-)
Really, really cool and helpful app. … Will save a lot of stress 👍💪
It fills a need
Handlefree fills a need on the Tesla Y/3. Being able to open each door, not just unlock it but open it so you never need the handle at all, makes many everyday things easier: when the driver’s hands are full, when you’re with people who aren’t used to these hidden handles, or simply as a kind gesture. It can be triggered by voice with Hey Siri, which makes the whole process easier. …
Good
Haven’t figured out the setup yet, I’ll try again today. But it sounds good.
An important everyday helper!
The app already has plenty of useful features and keeps being developed and improved. 5 stars from me!
