Garage door programmed MYP, do I have to pay extra?
- Thread starter Msicario

Yes, if you want it integrated into the car and not just using the clicker for the garage door opener you likely already have. For more feedback on that than the answer to the question, search for "homelink".
Thanks. Just so hard to accept, after paying over $70 K for a car that doesn’t come equipped with a a programmed garage opener system sucks! super inexpensive cars have it
How crazy is that 
If you only have one home/garage and don't have a gate or second home/garage to program you might consider Tailwind. Tailwind iQ3 Smart Automatic Garage Door Controller

I just removed the visor clip from my garage door opener and stuck it to the bottom left back side of the center screen with double sided tape. You can't see it at all.
It’s not just homelink the clicker you are paying. You are buying tesla software implementation with onboard GPS that automatically open and close the garage door as you arrive and leave. Pretty awesome I might add, once you are used to it it’s hard to go back to manual clicking.
Didn’t come with an engine or a muffler either what’s your point?Thanks. Just so hard to accept, after paying over $70 K for a car that doesn’t come equipped with a a programmed garage opener system sucks! super inexpensive cars have it
You're also paying for the installation of the module in the homelink price.
The car costs 13k extra. At this point it should be included.Thanks. Just so hard to accept, after paying over $70 K for a car that doesn’t come equipped with a a programmed garage opener system sucks! super inexpensive cars have it
I think the non-fanboys can agree that all Tesla models, except maybe the standard range M3 should come with homelink standard.
When you’re paying $45K+ for a “luxury” car, it should have a basic function such as homelink.
But it should also come with a basic such as lumbar support but I digress.

I'm a fanboy, but I've never considered Teslas to be luxurious. That being said, I thought I could use the clicker but ended up shelling out the $325 anyway.
Not talking about drive train or battery pack
Just a simple garage opening program system that comes with all vehicles regardless of their price.. with the exception of Teslas, including those of over $100K… They think the price we payed was not enough therefore need to continue to charge extra for a basic option
It all comes down to “Greed”I bet that homelink cut a deal with Tesla with a nice kickback.. It’s all about more money
and never making/having enough 
I rented a Kia Forte in January that was fairly new and did not have Homelink. Nor did it have CAS, automatic wipers, or auto high beams.Not talking about drive train or battery pack
And of course Tesla doesn’t tell you that up front eitherI bet that homelink cut a deal with Tesla with a nice kickback.. It’s all about more money
I’m sure that homelink and Tesla had this planned out; Both making more money on it.. Crazy how Tesla don’t even warn you or point it out; Almost all customers don’t check because they assume all cars regardless of price come it.
Bottom line “ Greed “ Homelink doesn't make more money off of it. They'd make more if every car included it.I’m sure that homelink and Tesla had this planned out; Both making more money on it.. Crazy how Tesla don’t even warn you or point it out; Almost all customers don’t check because they assume all cars regardless of price come it.
But Tesla is pretty clear that it doesn't come with the car. The fact that it's listed as an accessory in the Tesla Shop is also a pretty big hint. I ordered my Homelink system before I even got my VIN assigned.

No, tesla is not making money for it, and no its not "greed" (at least from tesla). If by "greed" you mean from the license holder of the homelink patent, that makes car manufacturers pay for it on installation (and quite a bit) then perhaps I might agree with that.
By the time tesla "rolls a truck" to install this and pays the tech to install it, along with the license, etc, its doubtful they are making much of anything on this.
There are a lot (a lot lot) of threads on this topic, in the model 3 and Y subforums with the same basic complaint, and the same response about the licensing of this being expensive.

So folks that don’t have a garage should pay for a feature they don’t use? I bought it and to be honest I wish I hadn’t and just used the remote that came with my opener. That’s why OPTIONS are good. One size doesn’t fit all contrary to popular belief.
