Text messages (ghosts)

[lachambers]

This is going to be really hard to explain to everybody but I'll give it a try. On the model y I receive a text from someone in my address book. It appears on the display but it's not from the person who it indicates even though they're in my address book. This has happened a few times but it does not come into my phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S 20-plus. It only shows on the car display and not on the phone. I've contacted the people that supposedly sent it and they say they did not send it. Has anybody had this issue and if so why is this happening? This is really weird!

Same happens to me... I've gotten several series of 1-2 year old text messages show up as new on the car (and not on the phone)

Did you get the optional flux capacitor package?

 

[VaxAce]

at least you guys are getting texts albeit old or from ghosts. My texts were coming in for a week then stopped. I have to troubleshoot it

Happens to my wife in the Model X all the time.

Wow, this is CRAZY! Wonder what the hell is going on?

Bad programming, I assume.

Oh wow, you think that they are old actual text messages that were sent year/s ago?

Android for both of us, but only happens on her phone when it's connected.

I too had stopped receiving all texts a few weeks ago. I eventually found that the toggle button to receive text messages on the MY had been switched off, perhaps in a recent software update.

I didn't even know you could get texts on the screen. Where is that configured? I've never seen one. I get mine on my Apple watch, which is probably better then getting it on the Tesla anyway.

Select your phone in the Bluetooth screen (accessed via button in upper right corner of touchscreen) and turn on the toggle to receive text messages.

An alert will appear on the touchscreen when you receive an incoming text message and then push in the right scroll wheel to have the message read outloud. After listening to the message, you can push the wheel again to verbally reply to the message. It’s a great feature and works quite well!

Anybody know if it still has issues with group chats? Or have they fixed that?

They were messages that I received back then and had read... they just somehow get marked as new again.

Thanks for the heads up. I just found that old text from two years ago, you were correct.
Crazy situation...

I get notifications for very old texts on my 2020 SR3. Weird bug.
