2021.4.18: now stays connected to WiFi when sleeping

[MikeyC]

Ever since my Model 3 updated from 2021.4.15 to 2021.4.18, it now stays connected to WiFi all the time: even when sleeping. My Model 3 is the only device on my WiFi extender and the extender has an LED to show when something is actively connected to it. That connected light now stays on 24/7 whereas before (with 2021.4.15) it was off most of the time and only turned on when I opened the app and woke up the car.

Anyone else noticed this?

Not here, my Model 3 running 2021.4.18 I can see on my WiFi router as not online when it is sleeping. And comes back in WiFi when woken. Maybe a reboot will set your car back to the way it was before the update? Maybe it is t going into deep sleep properly?

Nope, not seeing constant connection.

Maybe your Model 3 is downloading a navigation/map data update. Those are large and can take a long time to download.

Are you sure the car is sleeping? How do you verify? I think it's not sleeping if wifi is connected
