We have two Model 3 vehicles. My husband got his vehicle first and I was set up as another driver and have the app. Then I got my car a few months later. My app on my phone always displays my husband’s car first in the app and I have to swipe to see mine. ANNOYING! How do I make MY car the one that displays first on my phone? Help! I can’t find any solutions to this anywhere.

How to make my car the primary one on my app

The app defaults to the last thing that was open (at least on iOS it does) so if you swipe to your app and dont swipe away the app (which isnt necessary) the next time you open it, it should be on the car it was on before.
At least, thats the way it works for me, with a model 3 and my wifes model Y and our Tesla solar+ powerwalls. I normally keep the app on the powerwall screen so I am not interacting with the cars unless I want to, but if I select my model 3, the next time I open the tesla app its on the model 3.

It's possible the car name determines the order, so try changing the name of your car and see if it moves. I have two cars on my account, and the car I got last shows up first, which is different from what you're seeing.
If you don't drive your husband's car anymore, he could remove you as a driver and you would only see your car. My wife doesn't drive my car, so her app only shows her car.

Nice. That rules out the most likely hypothesis and puts forth a second. Alas, if the second works, it'll change the order for both spouses.
Personally, I want my spouse to have access for unexpected situations plus taking turns on road trips (which has an obvious workaround).
Not sure if this is already a known solution (for iPhone) but I found that whichever vehicle you select in the “stack” (widget on iPhone Home Screen) will be the one that is then shown initially on the Tesla app!
Long hold on the stack
select edit “Tesla”
press the blue vehicle name
Choose which car to prioritise from the list
The same vehicle order remains in the app (since you still swipe left to get to the other vehicle), BUT the app always opens at the vehicle you prioritised in the stack.

I have a similar problem, but I do actually need to switch the cars, is there a way to do it?
My problem is that the primary car has the buttons to upgrade/buy software, but the secondary can't.
I'm pretty sure this will help me.
So if someone knows how to do this please help.

I assume you’re not seeing the Upgrades option for the second car because you were added as an additional driver to that car, and your account doesn’t own it. If that’s the case, switching the order won’t make any difference.

I answered in the other thread, and we use the same account email, and the behavior happens on the other phone too.

Problem with the Tesla app, How we can move the secondary car to the primary car?
Hi, I need to switch the secondary car, which is the one that was bought first, as the primary on the app. I have a bug that the secondary car does not show the buttons to Buy or upgrade software. (FSD subscription or EAP) Tesla is still working on trying to make it appear but with no luck...

The answer to your problem lies in the name of the car. There is no primary car, cars are lined up alphabetically by name. I changed the name of my second car to "American" and it moved to the first position.

Good point. We have four Tesla’s on our App. My wife’s 3, my S and each daughter’s family Y. This makes it easier to share cars or move them in the driveway during visits. We also paired each key card with the other cars for the same reason.
This obviously requires family-wide trust and respect for privacy.
The App stays on whichever vehicle was last selected. My App shuffled the vehicle order after a recent iPhone software update. My 2017 S (Electric Chariot) had been last, now is first. My wife’s 2018 3 (La Belle Dame Sans Essence) had been first and now is last.
