Tesla Motors Club

With the roll-out of v6.0 (and it's non-appearance here at my house) I did check a few times if the car was connected to my network as I had noticed it was on 3G every time I got in the car. Spent some time checking everything this morning, rebooted car, deleted connection, reinstalled connection, energy saving mode on, energy saving mode off, tried different hardware (I have a WiFi extension access point in my garage so tried with a Cisco range extender and with a Netgear one) but always came back with the same result:

Model S connects to WiFi most times automatically (but not every time even when the set-up is consistent) and signal strength is always at maximum about 6' from the front of the car, but even when it connects it holds the WiFi signal for exactly 40 seconds and then switches back to 3G. I don't think this happened before v5.12 so it may be a bug in that firmware? I'll be contacting Tesla service this afternoon but wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
