Has everyone checked to make sure Tesla included the motors and didn't omit those too?

Unfortunately they didn’t let me do that when I picked up my 3 in late July ‘19. And as far as I know, they still weren’t doing that for Jan 2020 deliveries. But I would check with them, maybe something has changed. Good luck!

I plugged in a HomeLink module in our Model Y, hoping Tesla would just activate it for cost of labor - just like how many DiYers have done for their Model 3.
Tesla did not want to program my HomeLink module that I plugged for just cost of labor (.5 hr $95). They want to do diagnostics first - costing almost $300. Might as well get new for $300.
But I fixed it, somewhat, lol.
Total cost, $0.

When you get the Homelink part, you'll see a big warning that the warranty is voided if Tesla doesn't install it.

Update: Tesla Service activated my DiY HomeLink install for $97.

Service Center. This was for my DiY install of spare HomeLink module.
Those who bought the $300 retrofit kit from Tesla Shop were shipped to homes where Mobile Service install and activate.

So, just buy a model X, to get the homelink module? Seems more expensive than the module itself, and then you have an extra model X just laying around filling the driveway.

Yup, only the X is in salvage yard somewhere since it was totaled....I grabbed the HL module before it got towed lol.

Had mine installed this afternoon via mobile tech. He was a couple hours later than planned, but called ahead to let me know. This was his second MY HL install, and he said he only just learned that he could do it all from the frunk, which he did. Interestingly he tossed the bolt that came with it and used his own bolt (standard #10 instead of the weird pattern on the factory bolt).
I actually haven't had time to look in the car yet to see if it's ready to setup. Something to do tomorrow I guess...

Homelink is available, but it's $300 extra. I paid $2,000 extra for the red paint.
It's not complicated: some things are available but cost more. What's $300 on a $70,000 car? I'd call it a rounding error and shrug it off.
Just to be clear, this link says Homelink for Model 3. Can anyone confirm this is the same/right part for Model Y?

Interesting. It used to say it was for either the 3 or Y. And it was a part of the accessories shop page for the Y...it’s not listed anymore.

It's the freakin bolt - not compatible to the Y. That's why they stop selling it as Model Y accessory.

Wow...I wish I could say I’m surprised.
I had the Homelink kit installed at the service center two days ago. Glad to have it, however I too am a bit surprised it’s not included in the price of the LR or Performance version of the MY.
