To be honest I would be quite surprised unless you are one of the very few who seem to have received 2017.41, I can confirm that the issue still exists in 2017.40.1 and just "rebooted" our 2017 100D Model X last night when the HomeLink failed to respond to get it working again and we have 2017.40.1 on the car.

HomeLink stopped working - is this widespread?

Maybe it's a coincidence that it started working right after the software update? Or maybe it was because of the reboot Due to the software update?
Absolutely could be, or it could be for certain configurations and situations the firmware did fix it. Too many variables to really know if or when this is actually fixed as no one seems to be able to replicate it consistently really.
My HomeLink didn't work this morning after the software update last night. I got it to work again by going into the HomeLink settings, selecting the first garage door, then tapping PROGRAM. I then hit CANCEL. No need to actually repogram the door. I did this for the second door. Now both doors work as before.
Hope this helps.

I can confirm hitting CANCEL after selecting PROGRAM on the Homelink menu enables Homelink again. For now that'll be my workaround. It has worked everytime the garage door fails to open.
I will have to try that. I did confirm that disabling Energy Saver Mode appears to PREVENT it from not working first time in the morning, so it appears to be some sleep mode related issue. But the vampire drain without sleeping is more than I want to loose, so I am going to re-enable Energy Saving mode and try the PROGRAM/Cancel sequence tomorrow morning. I can live with that more than I can live with the extra vampire drain...
Looks like anything that recycles the HL software (reboot, power off/on, program/cancel) 'fixes' it. Brother.... I think the only version we don't know about is 17.41, and there are only a few copies out there (with three reported to ev-fw/TeslaFi). I also doubt they had the time to get a fix into it... I'll try the program/cancel next time, thanks for finding that one, definitely the quickest 'fix'!

I emailed tesla service about this and they say
"There is a Fireware issue that was discovered late last week that has been causing some problems with Homelink. We are currently working to correct this issue. Once corrected, Over The Air updates will be sent out and should resolve your issue."

oops - double post
might as well use the slot i suppose
the tech that came out tried the 'cancel' trick, and it didn't work. For some it may.

Looks like much of the latest hardware updates are glaumed into the S sub-forum - where we have to go search over there to see if our issues are the same - so it's only fair.Yeah, it doesn’t matter, and that’s the usual problem, we need a common place for common problems....

no - we had a tech out yesterday to play withe the worsening home-link stuff. Even tho I'd already tried the screen reset a couple days earlier, he tried it again, to no avail. So stupid ... now tesla is considering changing out transmitters in our car now - even tho I'd brought up this thread. Simply put - there are multiple issues going on & thus - no silver bullet - maybe note even the next / latest / greatest software update.

17.38 - strangely enough my homelink has been working perfectly fine for the past few days, despite initially having problems (to the point where I was carrying an old fashioned remote for the garage door in the car). (did tesla patch without update in FW #)??). Or perhaps it straightens itself out after a few days??
Does your 17.41 fix the Homelink issues? I’ve been told that it might but it’s hard to be sure since the SC talks in the ‘old’ firmware number and we only see the development number (with the hashcode).
