No connectivity

After the must recent update, I am getting lots of "No Connectivity" problems. When I get in car at my house, never any problems. Then when I drive to the store and get back into the car, I get a No connectivity message almost every time. It then always ends up connecting in about 2.5 minutes. Very annoying bug, and I am pretty sure it is a firmware issue, since it seems to happen so predictably. I have done both a touchscreen reset, and the full vehicle reset, and neither have solved the issue. Have an appointment at the Service Center in about 3 weeks, but tired of dealing with this. Really hope one of the experts here can help me solve this :cool:. I am driving a 2017 Model S.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

My 2020 does this all the time until it connects to the AT&T cellular network Tesla uses. You may have a 3G cellular connection in your car. 3G is now being turned off by AT&T. Perhaps the tower closest to you has had 3G turned off so you must drive to get near another 3G tower. You can check to see if you have a 4G or 3G Tesla in the additional information screen under Software. If you have only a 3G connection on your car, Tesla offers a reasonably priced upgrade.

Good information. I just checked and it says my modem is 2G/3G/4G compatible. You think it is still possible that I would have these problems even with haging a 4G compatible modem? I’m in Atlanta in very populated area…..I have been able to provide Tesla with dates/times when it is works and when I have problems, so hopefully they can debug this.
 
Mine is 4G, and it always takes a few minutes to connect. It may be a temporary tower issue with the tower near you. I always figured this was normal. Maybe not.... With a 4G capable modem, what I was saying is likely not the issue.

Totally annoying. I’m experiencing the same behavior after update. Fine upon leaving home but dead for two minutes leaving work. Never a problem before. Let me know if u get resolution.

Yep, I have had the exact same issue for the past 6 months or so. I did mention when i was in getting a service and they didn’t see a problem and it hasn’t been fixed. I just canceled premium connectivity because there is no point paying when most of the time I don’t have connectivity!! I will say I have an AT&T cell phone and I always get 4-5 bars service when my car gets no bars.

Same here in Venice Florida. How to we fox this or is it a network issue. Someone said it’s because AT&T turned off 3G ?? We are paying for connectivity.
