New feature, pop the door on latest app

[M1tch]

Speaking of versions does anyone know why I am still on 24? As I’ve stated in other posts I am a new Tesla owner and I’m not sure how it works but I do have FSD and I’ve been stuck on this version since getting the car a month ago.

I’m also still on 2022.24 where people on here have had .36.1, .36.2 and now 36.4. I don’t think there is a way to speed up getting an update but I always seem to be a month or so behind the first people on here saying they have it. The early adopters seem to pick up all the bugs so wouldn’t worry too much. It will come eventually

Its logically the best environment in order to get the latest updates as soon as but as mentioned not a given indeed. Both our cars are setup the same "advanced" and park side by side with good wifi connection at home. However, they can be weeks, sometimes up to a month apart and sometimes will jump/bypass some updates.

It helps if your car is connected to wifi when you park at home or you can tether it to your phone. Might also help if you put the software update to "advanced" in the cars menu.

Almost 3 years and wifi doesn't matter for updates. I remember 3 or 4 times when the updates come when the car was parked at work and for sure no WiFi. Others times at home, between 1 and 4 am.

Thanks so much. This was actually worrying me a little. At least now I know others are also still on this update.

I actually rearranged my Wi-Fi pods to make it so that I now have Wi-Fi in my driveway. So I guess it’s just a waiting game now

I’m on 2022.36.5 and my app is updated - no option to pop the doors (as far as I can see!)

Its an early Easter update... you've got to find the egg

Try a long press on one of the icons/shortcuts just bellow the car.

You get the update notification regardless of WiFi or not. It comes over LTE. You just need the wifi to do the download, and even then, its not unheard of for Tesla to push an update over LTE so alas you can only go so long and avoid the connect to wifi to download nag. It took them 5 months last time though and do still get the new update available to download prompt even though we are no longer attached to WiFi.

So you wouldn't have missed anything by not having wifi.

For those without Wifi, some Supercharger sites also provide a dedicated WiFi connection to the car, so the car will latch onto that too. Not sure if there would be enough time to get a full download in during a charge session though.

Just don’t press install or you’re stuck for 20 mins

It's a clever bit of kit but I'm having a hard time justifying 500 quid just to access things that are already here in the car, but just not accessible due to the poor UI...

Just in case you didn’t get this yet, I just figured it out. You have to use both hands. Move the icon to the far right corner, while holding that icon in the far right corner (to the right of the last icon) move the first icon over toward the second icon. It will then add your icon as the fifth icon.

This super confusing but it worked for me.

Found a video link.

I’m able to add the icon to the favorites but it’s not opening the door for me, even when right by the car… it only unlocks the car. Anyone experience this?

As per the very first post in this thread ...

Any way to force a software update? Just got my model y and it’s only 2022.28

Which icon are you pressing to pop the door open? And this is available only after you update to 2022.36.x or higher, so if you have previous versions of software you don’t get the icon to pop the door open.

No, you'll get it when your time comes.

Your first updates will only normally kick in after a few weeks. No you can’t force them though the Service Centre can if it goes too long.

Touch and hold one of the icons, the hidden ones will appear below

Thank you... didn't realize there was a long-press involved here. Been waiting for it to just 'show up' for me. Glad I looked here!

Yes, the world of Tesla incorporates quite a large amount of "assumed knowledge"! (Oh, and welcome to the UK & Ireland section of the forum in case you hadn't spotted .. . It's sometimes relevant if you have a question that turns out to be country specific.)

Who's using this feature. You finding it useful? Looking for reason to add it on the main screen.

I didn't think Texas was likely to be a place where frozen door handles was much of an issue! (we haven't had low temperatures in the UK either this year ... so far).
