Thanks for the tip. I have tried to increase the range of my Chamberlin opener by installing an external antennna outside my garage connected by shielded RG6 coaxial cable. Unfortunately, this resulted in the opposite effect desired with decreased range of my garage remotes and the Tesla Homelink. So it looks like my solution is to try a different garage door opener.
Fundamental issue I believe is the physical location of Tesla's internal MS Homelink transmitter isn't physically placed as optimum as it is in some other vehicles. From my experience, each of my different vehicles (Tesla, BMW, MBZ, multiple Lexus) all had different distances where their internal Homelink would and would not work with my same garage doors. You perhaps already have, but be sure to check other posts in this thread and others here on TMC for ideas how to extend the range of your garage door opener itself (alternatives vary based on your type of opener, but sometimes appear to be as simple as increasing the length of the antenna wire on your garage door opener). Since we can't change the hardware in our MS, perhaps improving your opener's range will improve your situation. It has for some. Good luck.
