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 your vehicle connected
to a Wi-Fi network whenever possible (for
example, if parked in your garage overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1. Touch the cellular icon (usually LTE or
3G) on the top corner of your touchscreen.
Model 3 will start scanning and display the
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
2. Select the Wi-Fi network you want to
use, enter the password (if necessary), then
touch
Confirm.
3. Your vehicle connects to the Wi-Fi
network and will automatically connect to it
whenever the network is within range.
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: 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).
NOTE: At Tesla Service Centers, Model 3
automatically connects to the Tesla Service
Wi-Fi network.
