Better off placing the access point closer to the passenger mirror, that's where the WiFi antenna is located.

Fast Forward 3 years: If I wrap my car in foil, would that prevent updates?

Took delivery of my M3 this past Tuesday. How soon do you think the updated software will be pushed. Right now, it’s on 2019.15.105.

Awesome!! We actually use an extender that's near our garage. Works great.

I agreed to schedule some software update for this morning at 2a.m. At about that time someone saw my headlights flashing. This morning I cannot start the car with ether the phone key or the key card. The key card unlocked the door but does not have any effect on the starting. My phone says the car info "updated yesterday," and the little circle is rotating like it is updating, but nothing happens. It shows my car parked where it was yesterday. Customer service has no living person answering, even when I try roadside assistance. Any ideas will be appreciated.

First you have tried a hard restart. Next FORGET calling. Go on the app and hit Schedule Service and use the app. A service adviser should give you a call very soon.

You can do an update install ANYWHERE as long as you are in park and have 30 minutes to an hour that you can't drive. You just need to be on WiFi to download the update.

thanks! so being on wifi you mean the signal from my hse has to reach into the car area. That is why the extenders are shown/mentioned/UGH

Yup, I ended up buying an eero mesh WiFi system and that’s been perfect so far. WiFi is super fast anywhere in or around my house now and the car shows full bars when it’s parked.

You can update on either WiFi or LTE, but it definitely takes longer for Tesla to “schedule/allow” your car to update on LTE. I also use an EERO mesh system for my house WiFi coverage and it works great. Netgear and Google make similar mesh systems. You can also set your S/W update interval to advanced int he car settings on the MCU and to me that seems to accelerate when a I get the updates somewhat.

Okay, my car finally started. Message on screen was "Software Update unsuccessful--wait for another update to be scheduled."
