Retry cell connection on demand

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Mine is MX 2020 LRP with premium connectivity subscription. I usually park it in parking lot underground at work without signal so it's disconnected obviously.

However, when I drive it out to the ground floor, it takes a long time for it to reconnect (which causes missing data for me on Teslamate).

I looked around the UI but couldn't find anywhere for me to manually force retrying connection on demand.

Anyone has any tips & tricks regarding this? TIA
 
I noticed the other day that the service menu (on my 2017 X) shows GPS related info. I don't know how long a cold start takes but you can see the number of satellites for an example. From past experience devices liked getting 4 before they really could triangulate their location (ala 3 didn't seem to be as good as 4).

Enable Service Mode: Settings->Software->Long press on car model; When prompted for password, type "service"
