Garage door opener.

Went to program my homelink tonight. Oh yeah, there is no homelink. What are you all using?

 

[Uncle Don]

Homelink is available as an add on.

 

[robl45]

Yes a 321 dollar option with tax. Wondering if everyone is using home link or something else

Not worth $300 to me. I just keep the clicker in the center console.

It's sooooo worth having it, but I recognize people see value differently. I love the geolocation stuff so it counts down to when it will auto-open your garage as you get close. And you can set the number of feet away you want it to open. One of my favorite features. It really makes you feel special when the garage automatically opens for you.

Tailwind does that too and 70 bucks. I'll probably do that

Yep you can do something like that. I just prefer the feedback etc in the car.

I use Echo Auto/Alexa with a smart switch. < $40.

I use Alexa/google smarthome/MyIQgarage

I use a $12 garage opener button that I have velcroed to the back of the touch screen. I played with homelink on a loaner Model S and while cool didn't think it was worth it.

I have my last-millenium garage door opener on the visor. When I push the button, the garage door opens or closes, and woman's voice says, "Congratulations. You saved $300!"

My MyQ works awesome with the gateway. It knows if the door is open or closed.

I just use a door opener in a clip on the visor. A better question is why did Tesla stop installing homeland as standard equipment on the M3?

Because the owner of homelink requires the MFG to pay them a licensing fee for every unit they install- regardless of if a customer wants it or not.

This way only people who want/need it pay for it.

No sunglasses holder
No homelink
No heated steering wheel
No sorted compartments so you're not throwing all your *sugar* in a giant hole

I use a Best Buy $40 HomeKit enabled garage door opener and my iPhone in the car..."hey siri, open/close garage door"...done.

 

[AdamMacDon]

I paid for the upgrade. It's a $60k car, why am I gonna try to save $300 to leave myself without a feature even Corollas have now. Wish I could have ordered it from the factory, but Tesla does things in a special way, hahaha.

That works if you take your phone out of your pocket. The way it is now (I understand the latest iOS beta has a switch for this now) is that siri doesn't listen if the front face is covered (e.g., in your pocket, like where mine lives) or face-down on a surface, etc.

Time for an Apple Watch

Actually, I should have probably looked harder into HomeKit enabled garage door openers before I placed my order 2 days ago for the HomeLink module. I could have saved ~$175. I actually have a smart garage door opener, even with up/down identification, but I have to use an app, no Siri.
