Cabin overheat protection greyed out

[Rajanm1]

Anyone know how I can activate the cabin overheat protection please?
It's just greyed out every time I go to it in the settings.

Car needs to be in Park, and have =>20% battery remaining I think

It had 200 miles charge and was in park but still greyed out :/

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Hmm.
Ah, from this thread it would seem this often happens when the car hasn’t been marked by Tesla as “delivered”, it’s still in transport mode which disables unoccupied battery draining features

Cannot enable Cabin Overheat Protection

In my S you can't have sentry mode on with o/h protection - weird.

 

[Rajanm1]

Hmm I have sentry mode and dash cam so not sure it would still be in delivery mode?
Others have their model 3 sentry mode and cabin overheat protection on at the same time?

Also tried the steering wheel 2 button reset but still greyed out

@Fullerene why do you disagree? Have you got a model 3 where you are not able to do this either?

If you deselect Tilt/Intrution or the car alarm you will be able to use COP.....It is either or.

Best wishes,

Try disabling tilt/intrusion detection, then cabin overheat protection should be selectable...

 

[Rajanm1]

Thanks both, will try that.
Shame it doesn't work together

Controls > Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion is a Model X/S only thing I think, the OP has a Model 3

Thanks Zannman. Found this youtube video showing what you described

Apologies, phone rattling around in pocket / incompetence .. rating undone!

 

[Rajanm1]

Figured bit out.... can't have sentry mode on and overheat protection on at the same time in the model 3 apparently!

This smells like a bug, can’t think of any plausible reason for this restriction. Any thoughts?

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Yeah. The internal sensor for the alarm uses a change in air pressure. Eg when a window is broken or a door opens.

a fan blowing air around, especially with variable speed, will confuse it

the S and X are the same, but they say so in the manual. The model 3 manual doesn’t say it and I thought they’d got around it somehow.

Don't think that there are actually any sensors in the model 3 for movement - just a tilt sensor?
