Hey guys,
New to the forums and new Tesla owner. I got my Tesla about a week or two ago, and had to have some minor work done, and the Tesla mobile service guy came out. I asked him (because I bought used from 3rd party, and know very little about my car) what happens if I use my phone to unlock, leave my keys at home, and part in an area without signal. He said “doesn’t matter it’ll connect to the phone with Bluetooth and still unlock. He was incorrect(proven wrong the next day, had to have my wife bring me my keys). So here is my thought. If I create a WiFi hotspot on my phone, and connect the Tesla to it, shouldn’t I be able to unlock my car even if it doesn’t have signal, but my phone does? And secondly if my phone and the car doesn’t have signal will it work across a WiFi network without internet connectivity?
