Since the last app update, Tesla has enabled a demo version of the Tesla app. Tesla now lets customers experience the Tesla app without having a Tesla vehicle.

Similar to Tesla's Energy demo, you can now demo the Tesla app with the new Model 3, although this would be fantastic if you could pick your vehicle.

The app experience is similar to controlling a real Tesla. You can scroll and tap into the various sections that you adjust the climate, view the vehicle's location and find a nearby Supercharger - all with demo data.

This lets potential customers experience the Tesla app firsthand, before even buying a Tesla. Unfortunately, finding the demo page isn't the most intuitive. Upon opening the app, without logging in, you'll need to tap on 'Continue as Guest', scroll down to 'Order a Vehicle', then scroll to the right to the last card that reads, 'Tesla App.'

Existing customers can also view the demo by tapping on the main menu in the app, choosing Discover then following the steps above.

To use Tesla's Energy (Solar and Powerwall) demo, you can tap on Discover, scroll down to Explore Energy then swipe left to Demo Powerwall.

This is a great addition to the Tesla app that lets new customers experience the power of the Tesla app.

For Tesla owners who don't have Tesla Solar or a Powerwall, Tesla has added a demo of Tesla Home to the app that lets users experience what it's like having these features.

You can view a demo home with solar and a Powerwall and view all the information associated with these products. Although the data is static and doesn't change, the experience is interactive and lets you experience the app as if you had these products installed. You can view graphs that display your energy impact, view your solar generation, Powerwall usage and even mimic going off-grid.

To view the Powerwall demo, tap on your profile icon then tap the Order Now image, scroll down to the bottom and then swipe to the last card, which should be titled Demo Powerwall.

Although the feature is relatively hidden, it's a great feature that gives users a great idea of what it's like to own a Powerwall and the detailed information it brings to the Tesla app.
