Hi, I bought my model 3 2022 last week And i have been getting those text messages. What should I do?I have received a text on my Tesla screen from a contact that I have not recently texted or talked to. I had no indication on my phone (pixel 5) of such text and when asking the contact, they confirmed that they did not send anything .
The text message on Tesla feature is still somewhat buggy for me in general, many times I don't get text notifications at all but that is more easily explained as a connection issue. However, this phantom text is strange and more interesting if it originates from the car and not the phone. My guess it is that the phone is sending the notification somehow by mistake. The text is from a contact that I haven't texted to in many months and the message itself is seemingly not part of an old conversation we had or any recent conversation I had with someone else .
I thought it is worth asking to see if anyone else has had this issue.

Yes this has been established. I have received texts this week from 2018.Hey people! I deciphered the problem. There aren't phantom messages, they are old messages that for some reason are being sent to the car.
I discovered some of my mom text messages from February were just resent to me a few minutes ago.
It's a nasty bug an i wish Tesla would fix it.
This happened to me today- I got text from wishing me "Merry Christmas" [with a Christmas tree emoticon] from an old contact. I replied to the person and they were confused as they had not texted me. The Tesla Message Screen plainly showed the "Merry Christmas" message, my reply, that persons reply to my reply, but on checking my Android phone there was no "Merry Christmas" message sent today. I scrolled back and found the Merry Christmas Message from that person [with the Christmas Tree emoticon] dated back to Dec 25 2018! This quite a major bug that could cause some quite embarrassing situationsI have received a text on my Tesla screen from a contact that I have not recently texted or talked to.

I am currently having this issue and It is very annoying to deal with.. There are text guy I'm receiving from a year ago from people I am not in contact with. I will receive the text and think they are talking to me in real time but of course it's a year ago and I have mistakenly and embarrassingly returned a number of texts. Particularly former girlfriends. I've called Tesla and they said there is going to be a fix coming to download but no one knows when or no timelines were given. This is a very bad and has caused me to turn off the text function on the car which is a waste because it is useful to be able to text by voice. Returning some texts without context from a year ago, some are emergencies by the way, has been very embarrassing.I have received a text on my Tesla screen from a contact that I have not recently texted or talked to.

iPhone user here...it happens to me as well.Your car is not being hacked. This is an issue with Android phones; iPhone devices seem to be working properly.
We've reported this to the Android team and have opened a ticket to get it fixed. Please visit and star the issue and/or add your comment. Every response helps!
Android SMS Bug
Oh, interesting. I think this is the first report of it happening on iOS that I've seen. Can you give more details?iPhone user here...it happens to me as well.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro running IOS 15.2.1 but did it on earlier versions too and also on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The car is running version 2021.44.30.7, but also did it on earlier releases too. Seems to grab a few fairly recent messages from that day, no real old stuff showing up. Almost as if they were queued up somewhere and suddenly show up. Weird. What I did notice is that when they show up, they show the phone number and not the contact name as normal. I haven't tried to reset the BT on this phone, but doubt it will prove much since it has happened across two different iPhones.Oh, interesting.

- What version of iOS are you running?
- What firmware version are you running in your car?
- How often does it happen?
- The Android version of the bug seems to pull messages from somewhere back in the sands of time. Does the iOS bug do that as well or are they more recent messages?
- Have you tried to reset the Bluetooth connection?
That's super interesting. So, you're not seeing old, maybe even invalid, messages. You might be right in thinking that it's being queued up somewhere. And the fact that the number is showing instead of the contact name is weird too. It does sound like a problem.The car is running version 2021.44.30.7, but also did it on earlier releases too.
