I have joined the TMC just about a week ago, and am planning a get a Model Y. I have read up a few of the TMC Forum discussions trying to understand the numerous technical features of the car. One of them is the connectivity between the car and the Tesla phone app. I understand that the car has its own cellular connection, the phone app has wi-fi, data plan and bluetooth. I searched through the site to find out how they work together, but could only get bits and pieces of information about it.
Anybody knows what is required of the car's cellular connection to work (aside from the HW2,5 and above requirement); what component (wi-fi, data, bluetooth) the phone app uses to connect to the car, and under what circumstances?
There is also this specific case with the car parked several levels down in an underground parkade of a concrete building, whereas the phone app is located on more than ten floors above. Will this connection work in such an environment to enable phone app features such as sentry mode live stream?
