I have seen the app display the wrong location of the car a couple of times while the car was in park. What about while it was driving? Has anyone seen the car in motion in the app but at the wrong location, possibly showing a previous drive cycle?

Wrong location meaning the address or are you talking about the actual location pin on the map? I frequently see the wrong address displayed no matter if moving or parked (it shows a previous address), but haven't seen the wrong location pin when it is in drive.I have seen the app display the wrong location of the car a couple of times while the car was in park.

I think I previously replied to this incorrectly, sorry!Wrong location meaning the address or are you talking about the actual location pin on the map?

Note however the location of the car does not update if the car is not in drive (people have gotten their cars towed before and the location didn't update). It also obviously does not update if it is in an area with no reception (as it relies on the LTE or Wifi to send the location to the internet).
Hi, thanks for replying! I mean I was watching the car move along the map in the app on my phone, and the address matched the location where I saw the car. Everything in the app seemed normal. I'm told I was seeing a previous trip that the car had taken a few days prior and that it wasn't at the location where I saw it.
For the scenario described, I have never heard or experienced that happening. It makes zero sense for Tesla (whether on their server or in the app) to cache an entire trip from days ago and play it back. At most it would cache a stationary location (which as I mentioned can be misleading if your car is towed, one of the most common reported scenario where the location doesn't match on the app).I think I previously replied to this incorrectly, sorry!

I wondered why my location never updates on the ferry, just not enough to ask, thanks!Note however the location of the car does not update if the car is not in drive
Weird. Happened to me after an update. Set up my destination and set off from home. The diretctions it gave were from couple of streets away from where I was. Thought I would have to stop and reset it but it cleared itself after a mile or two.I have seen the app display the wrong location of the car a couple of times while the car was in park.

That's not the same thing, that's the GPS unit giving the wrong coordinates, which can happen for a variety of reasons (one is cabin camera interference, the earlier ones did not have the cabin camera shielded).Weird.

No, you just need to drive the vehicle so that the GPS can get a signal and update the location. Note Teslas do not update the vehicle location until the drive wheels actually move via the car's power, so you can park there forever and it will never update. It also won't update if your car is towed (something some found out the hard way).After I did a factory reset, the map in the vehicle shows California. But I’m in Florida! Does it may be take an hour or so to correct the location in the vehicle?
