    MY vs M3 WiFi placement

    Just had my MYLR delivered to replace my M3, never had a problem connecting to WiFi before but can't even find the WiFi in the MY. Connects fine on my phone - is the MY WiFi receiver in a different place or not as good?

    wifi at Wawa charger

    I was at a Wawa station in Middletown Delaware charging my model Y. When I scanned for Wi-Fi a Netwerk entitled “Tesla service“ came up. Does anybody know the password for this? It would be nice to be on Wi-Fi while I’m streaming.

    App not connecting to car after 10.60.3.1 update / WiFi issue

    After the 10.69.3.1 update, my Tesla app (on Android) stopped connecting to my car. It almost always say "Last seen xxx minutes/hours ago". Also, in the car, when I go to "Controls" (car icon in left bottom) > "Upgrades", it says "Service Unavailable." So it's a general connectivity issue...

    Car Wifi Signal

    Hi, I just got my tesla model 3 performance recently, and the wifi antenna seems really weak. Does anyone know how it should be? For example if I go into the car and go on my phone and look at the wifi networks my phone sees, I can see 7/8 wifi networks of varying strength, some full...

    How to connect to a Wi-Fi network without Internet?

    I'm using a Wi-Fi connection on my car, while on drive, that connects to a USB LTE Modem pluged to a Raspberry Pi that works as a Wifi hotspot for the car. However, I noticed that if the LTE Modem loses internet connection (in a region of poor coverage, for example), the car automatically...

    Car won't connect to wifi

    I use my phone as a Hotspot but lately the car won't connect to it. Also, it used to show a list of available wifi, but it doesn't do this anymore. My phone still connects with the car to Summon, etc. Is this a known problem?

    Low cost USB SD adapter with built in wifi

    I found a low cost USB to microSD card adapter with built in wifi hotspot/client capability. Yes, it is old, but it is cheap and workable for model Y 2022. It costs me CNY35 (USD5.3) for two pieces. uSD provides more options and is replaceable. But it has a major shortcoming: wifi <-> usb is...

    Is it possible to disable the WiFi on the Gen 3 Wall Charger? We have our home hardwired for ethernet and have no desire for a WiFi signal in the garage which is adjacent to our bedroom. Thanks for any insights!

    Slow wifi connection, what’s everyone’s average connection speed?

    My Model Y is parked right next to the router with a gigabit up/down connection over the 5gz band. I average 10-20 mb/s up/down average. What kind of network speed is everyone else getting with their Tesla’s?

    Software downloads bugged - update notifications disappear when on wifi

    I've had a software update pending to 2021.24.4 since getting my Model 3 back from the service centre a week ago. It asks me to get on Wifi to download it.

    Requirements for updating via app without home charger

    I live in an apartment in the city, so I do not have access to a home charger, so my tesla stays on the street where I live.

    Wifi Hotspot in Drive

    With the 2021.24 update, which allows the car to remain connected to my phone's network when "shifting" into drive, do I still need to keep Premium Connectivity for live traffic view, satellite view etc?

    Question About Web Browser

    I was/am under the impression that the Model Y has its own WiFi built in so I can use the browser outside of being parked in my garage. I tried using the browser and I get a request for WiFi information and there I’m stuck. I was in a McDonald’s parking lot. Am I wrong in my assumption? Or...

    Tesla Model 3 verbindt niet met WiFi (melding: Kan geen IP-adres verkrijgen, controleer instellingen van de DHCP-server.)

    Why is my Model 3 consuming my entire upstream BW?

    My wife complained that the "internet is slow." Traffic analysis on my router showed that our Model 3 was consuming 100% of the upstream bandwidth. I ended up throttling it at 500kbps so the kids could actually get some school work done and to prevent this from happening again. But the real...

    A note on changing Wi-Fi (WiFi) on Gen 3 charger

    Changing the Wi-Fi (#1) network on a Tesla Gen 3 charger is not as simple as it should be. It *appears* you can do it from a web browser connected to the charger... but when you select the new Wi-Fi SSID, you get a red "Forbidden" message, and are left with no clue as to what to do. The...
