Hello all,
I'd like to draw Tesla's attention to the following: newer Models (X,S,3) don't have the "Always Connected" under "Energy Savings" anymore. The manual clearly states "On newer vehicles, this feature is automated to provide an optimal level of energy saving".
Well that's just dandy. My Garage is underground in an apartment building which is a giant faraday gage. Cell signals don't get through down there. WiFi is the only thing that works.
This was never a problem as I set my 2014 Model S to "Always Connected" which kept the WiFi alive so I could pre-heat the car in the morning for example.
My new 2020 Model X goes into sleep mode and waking it up (done through an SMS message I believe) is impossible now because LTE signals can't reach it. So i'm screwed in this respect.
Also, because WiFi is turned off minutes after walking away from the car, I'm not getting updates.
I know many others have similar issues. Does anyone know how to draw Tesla's attention to re-instate the "Always Connected" feature? Going through my Service Center is useless (they won't do anything) and twittering it to Elon should not be necessary.
I don't want to pollute this topic about the consequences for 3rd party apps and/or vampire-drain etc. There are plenty of topics about that. This topic is purely about getting a feature request through to Tesla.
