Slow “wake up” time on 48.12.1?

[SoCalGuy]

Since updating to 48.12.1, I’ve noticed that when opening the Tesla app, it now takes about 20-23 seconds for the car to wake up. It used to take 5-7 seconds before.

Anyone else have this issue? Nothing has changed with my WiFi or parking location.

Also, I’ve gone from losing 1-2 miles per day to about 3.5-4 miles per day since updating to 42.1 a month or so ago.

2 miles of loss in the past 24 hours. I'm on 48.12.

Problem is, for both symptoms you listed, I've experienced here and there on all firmware versions. likely not tied to firmware at all.

On my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, running Android 6.0.1, the waking up time has been a severe problem ever since I got the car in May. I've turned the airplane mode on and off many times, for no other reason than to get the damn app to wake up! Fix THIS instead of making fart noises, Tesla!

I think it has to do with how often they power the receivers on in the cars. The more frequently they scan, the higher the phantom drain. There is probably an algorithm that determines this maybe even specific to the use of your car. Mine usually takes almost a minute or more. The request has to go from my phone to my DSL WiFi to Tesla and back through the WiFi to the car. I have very little phantom drain.

Using WiFi? I have found it to be slower on WiFi then LTE... probably low signal strength for WiFi (only 2-3 bars).

I've had my Model 3 since early April and very rarely have I had the Tesla app open in less than 10 seconds. For me 20-30 seconds is "normal" even when I am already connected.
Android, Galaxy S8. There doesn't seem to be any pattern on how long it takes to open the app.

My "slow" DSL 4.0 Mbs WiFi will do HD TV so it's not the bottle neck. It maybe is in Tesla's servers sorting out whether to use LTE or WiFi internet to communicate with the car. It's most likely the car's alertness level.

I've had my Tesla Model 3 for over a month and I also have a Galaxy S8... My Tesla app never takes over 3 to 4 seconds to open and connect. Oh, I am also running 48.12.1 and I am not on WiFi.

Will Tesla software updates to the car automatically occur using LTE if WiFi not connected?

It takes forever (several minutes) sometimes on ours and I’ve had it time out to the point you need to actually go to the car to wake it up. They are doing something different with the software recently as I’m seeing this with our X also. Very strange.

(Current iOS phones before anyone goes down that road. The car responds as a key perfectly. It’s the app I’m talking about.)

I've definitely noticed a longer time to both wake up with the app, and to open the door with the phone. It also seems that if I don't bother to wake up with the app, like to pre-heat the car, then it opens more quickly. I have the latest app version. Something is surely off here.

Your phone could also be contributing factor: You have a really old version of Android plus all of Samsung's crapware.
You hear a very similar complaint with many different devices when people try to connect their phones.

I turned off the vehicles wifi and the tesla app connects to the car much quicker (only takes seconds)... for my situation it looks like the wifi strength in the garage is slower than LTE coverage...

Here are my Galaxy S8 settings. Are yours different since my wake up time averages 20-30 seconds and your wake up time is much shorter?
On the plus side I have not had a single problem unlocking my car for months.

Every patch, some people say it got faster, and some say it got slower. I don't think they're related to releases honestly.

...and phantom drain is double what it used to be.
