Does anyone know what provider Tesla uses? I have noticed the worst cellular service in my car in which it drops out frequently.
Agreed seems like the antenna on the cell unit is small, I’ve never seen more than three bars on it even near towers. Part of me wonders if this is a throttling method so people’s data is safe doesn’t get to excessiveStrange, got great signal on my iPhone, and crappy service on my Tesla.....
I’m betting you’ve just turned off cellular data on your phone, which still allows phone calls. Tesla’s LTE connection is data only and does not handle phone calls. They also do not provide a wireless hotspot.Totally unrelated, but I've noticed I can receive calls in my car on my iPhone X (which is on Verizon with WiFi calling enabled), when the iPhone X has the cellular turned OFF (but WiFi ON), and I'm driving around in the Model 3 nowhere near other WiFi (other than that in the car I guess).
First time I though I was imagining it, but now it has happened twice. Conclusion is that the car is routing my phone info over the Bluetooth connection (or WiFi) or something, (which then gets routed to the LTE connection)...so the cell network can route calls to my phone? LTE connection doesn't have to be Verizon for this to work of course. I didn't think the Tesla set up a WiFi hotspot but maybe it does. That's why I figured it was Bluetooth -> LTE. I haven't tested whether or not this works when the phone is NOT in the charging dock (not connected to car via USB - could be Lightning/USB to LTE - though not sure that is even a thing).
Someone else should confirm this. I am not sure why I was surprised by this, but it's actually quite a nice feature, as I often turn off cellular at home, since my service there is so bad - WiFi calling works much better. And then forget to turn it on again...but at least people can still call me as long as I am in the Tesla.
