My car should send me a reminder if it's parked at home, it's getting late, and it's not connected to charge as usual. My garage has an outlet right by the charging port, and I normally connect as soon as I park. However, if I have packages to carry from the trunk into the house, I'd have to...

Please enable the audio system to remember what media I was listening to on my phone, so it can pick up where it left off. When driving by myself, I usually listen to an audiobook on my phone via Bluetooth. I'm annoyed by the message that frequently pops up to "choose media on phone", not...

Please provide voice feedback for voice commands. The voice commands are very convenient because I don't have to take my eyes off the road while digging through menus on the display. However, much of that convenience is lost because I often have to peer at the fine print on the display to see...

When I touch my charge port door, it sometimes closes immediately. Touching a second time has the same result. The button on the charging cable usually works, but sometimes it's ignored. So far, the button on the screen has worked.

I have an Android phone. On Nov 22, I updated the Tesla app (to version 4.3.0-472 or the like), and the phone key started working. Then on Nov 24, I updated the phone app again, to 4.3.0-766, and it quit working. Then on the same day the car updated to 2021.40.6, and it's been working ever...

If the car is trying to fingerprint the phone, maybe it will just take several tries to get a good measurement. So I tried again on Friday. I did it in a parking lot, so the "unlock at home" setting wouldn't confuse things. I removed the phone key and reconfigured it with no trouble, and it...

When the car recognizes a phone as a key (not just that it's been set up, but also that the phone is currently nearby), is that status shown on the display somewhere? E.g. in the list of keys, should that line be highlighted or something? Is the recognition indicated on the phone somehow...

The phone key function requires the phone to be within about five feet of the car, but there's nothing special about the B pillar. It's the black key card that requires one of the RFID sensors, either in the B pillar or the center console.

I tried deleting the phone key and restoring it. I got "Setup Failed. Please Try Again. Unable to set up your phone as a key for the vehicle", with a "Retry" button. The next time, I got "Finishing up. Verifying Phone Key pairing", then "Success. Phone key has been set up" with a "Finish"...

I deleted the key and set it up again. That didn't help. Just now I was sitting in the driver's seat with my foot on the brake. The Tesla app on the phone declared "connected", and at the same time the car's screen was showing the "present the key card" animation.

Since the update to 2021-40 last week, my M3 doesn't recognize my phone as a key. I have to use the key card to drive (stepping on the brake brings up the "present the key card" animation). Walk-away locking fails too. The bluetooth connection to the audio works fine. Navigating on the...

36.16 was installed on Friday in my M3. It's charged normally three times since then. I wish we could see the real release notes, to get some idea which ones might have affected charging.

Same here: two charging interruptions yesterday, then 2020.36.15 was installed, and today it's charging fine.

Thanks. No criticism intended. (Well, of Tesla maybe, but not you.)

A hardware issue alone wouldn't explain why users all over North America started seeing the problem at about the same time. Is it possible that a recent firmware change is incompatible with some versions of the charger? Or may even damage some chargers? Maybe they've discovered a charger...
