I got a statement of a service center, that "SMS Poke" is at the time not working with Swisscom SIM-Cards.
They try to solve this with Swisscom.
I will call them once a month and if it does not help, I want an other SIM-Card, that is working again.
Bloody hell! Where *do* you live?I can absolutely positively assert that there is NO mobile signal here, not even GSM.
By way of background, when we were building this house the absence of a signal was a nuisance, as with no landline during the construction the only way to make calls was to walk about 1/4 mile up the hill behind the house, in order to get a weak signal that was just about OK for a voice call or text. Because of this, and whilst we still had scaffolding up, I researched which networks operated the nearest masts, found out which frequency band they used, and then purchased (an almost certainly illegal) repeater, 14dB gain yagi, a length of expensive low loss cable, an omni antenna for the ground level link and a bunch of N types. I already had a crimping tool to make up the cables.
The yagi was mounted on an additional scaffold pole, clamped to the top of the existing scaffold, and pointed towards the nearest mast working in the 800 MHz/900 MHz band, and was then fine tuned in position using the signal strength meter on the repeater. I could just about get 1 bar on the repeater, and that was just about enough to be able to make and receive calls on site. Once the house was finished I kept the repeater and re-fixed the antenna to a mast bolted to the end of the house, together with a DAB antenna (we can't get FM radio here either):

Unfortunately, this repeater system wouldn't work with the antenna mounted a few feet lower down, and neither will the DAB antenna receive a signal either, so these antennas are both just ornaments. We don't get terrestrial TV either, so just installed satellite instead.
If that antenna, with all that gain, mounted around 25ft above the area where the car is parked, cannot get any usable signal, then I'm absolutely certain the car cannot either, especially given that the car antenna inside the wing mirror doesn't seem to be a particularly sophisticated design.
I recall there being a new software release a while back that significantly improved wake-up times, so perhaps there are now multiple ways. What I can say, 100% sure, is that the car is disconnected from my router when it's asleep. Given that, I can't see any way in which it could wake up via WiFi with the current software (2020.36.10).Given that WiFi can be configured to use less power than GSM, and given that my car has always seemed able to wake up until now without any mobile signal, and also given that I was assured by Tesla before purchase that the car would have full functionality without a mobile signal, as long as there was WiFi available, is it possible that there is also a wake up from WiFi capability?
My experience with being able to wake the car up whilst it's been parked on the drive for the past 10 months suggests it can, either that or it has some sort of astonishingly capable low noise front end that's able to pull a GSM signal out from below the noise floor. After all, it's possible to make calls and send and receive texts via WiFi with some phones and carriers, so it seems that the ability exists to do this.

Really? I thought all mobile networks offered sms/calls via Wi-Fi now!Can the car receive SMS over WiFi, though? My wife's phone can now, although mine can't, but we have different contracts.
Sounds like the sms might be belt and braces and the lte api request should wake it anyway. It may also be true that if there is no GSM maybe the car does not drop the wifi connection but holds it open instead while the car is asleep?So the problem remains that my car has almost certainly never been able to receive any form of mobile network transmission whilst it's been parked here, but has been able to wake up from the app until about last Wednesday night. Something seems to have changed around that time that is preventing the car from waking up. Also, something has changed from around that time that is making the car stay awake a lot longer. When I woke it up earlier, using the key fob, to see if that worked as a way of getting the app to access the car, it has stayed awake since. It's now over an hour since I locked it up again, and usually it sleeps after ten to fifteen minutes.
Irrespective of the methods that will wake the car, something seems to have changed in its wake/sleep behaviour, and as that doesn't seem to be related to the software version, and seems to have some degree of regional variation, it seems a bit of a mystery as to what's causing it, doesn't it?

P. S. Raise a service request. Everyone raise a service request. Bombard Tesla with service requests

Greetings for Spain.
I have no third party parts, TeslaFi, etc. accessing my car.
