Wi-Fi is available as a data connection
method and is often faster than cellular data
networks. Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially
useful in areas with limited or no cellular
connectivity. To ensure fast, reliable delivery
of software and map updates, Tesla
recommends leaving Model 3 connected to a
Wi-Fi network whenever possible (for
example, when parked overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1. Touch Controls > Wi-Fi icon at the top of
the Controls screen. Model 3 begins to
scan and display detected Wi-Fi networks
that are within range.
NOTE: When connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-
Fi icon displays at the top of the
touchscreen.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not
appear in the list, move Model 3 closer to
the access point or consider using a range
extender.
2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use,
enter the password (if necessary), then
touch
Confirm.
3.
Model 3 connects to the Wi-Fi network.
Whenever the network is within range,
Model 3 connects to it automatically.
You can also connect to a hidden network
that isn't shown on the list of scanned
networks. Just touch
Wi-Fi Settings, enter the
name of the network in the resulting dialog
box, select the security setting, then touch
Add Network.
NOTE: If more than one previously connected
network is within range,
Model 3 connects to
the one most recently used.
NOTE: At Tesla Service Centers, Model 3
automatically connects to the Tesla Service
Wi-Fi network.
Hotspots and Connectivity
You can also use a mobile hotspot or your
phone's Internet connection via Wi-Fi
tethering (subject to fees and restrictions of
your mobile carrier) to access the internet. To
remain connected to Wi-Fi when shifting into
Drive or Reverse, choose the connection from
the Wi-Fi settings screen, then touch
Remain
connected in Drive.
