How to update Model 3 software when there is no Wifi?

Tesla software update when there is no Wifi

Let’s discuss how to update to the latest Tesla Model 3 software even when there is no Wifi. For some of us, we park our cars where there is no Wifi coverage. I live in an apartment building where my parking spot is no way near my Wifi signal. I often miss out of software updates on Tesla Model 3. It is not until I hear from a friend about a recent update or get buzzed on the Tesla app to connect to a Wifi for an update. Don’t worry, you are not alone. We will look into some ways you can still get software updates. Although Tesla installs some of the security critical updates through in-built LTE network connectivity but most of the updates require you to connect to Wifi.

Unfortunately, there is no way to force updates through your LTE network connectivity other than at Tesla Service Center. Below are some of the next best ways to update Model 3 software when there is no Wifi.

  • Your phone as a hot-spot
  • Public Wifi at Starbucks or McDonald’s parking lot
  • A family or friend’s driveway

Buying a Tesla is not as crazy as it seems for a young car owner in Canada.

Since getting my Tesla Model 3, one of the most recurring comments that I’ve heard has been “that’s an expensive car” or “how can you afford to have a Tesla?” which has got me thinking about the subject. I mean, I obviously did my math to make sure my finances would not take a nosedive by choosing the Model 3 over the Ford Focus I was leasing, but what seemed obvious to me – after doing the research – did not appear to be apparent to everybody else. With that in mind, I decided to do the work for you and, when the time comes for you, hopefully, I’ve made the decision easier, here are some thoughts.

So, the time has come for you to decide on a new car. You’re a young adult and would like to get a ride that is fun, comfortable, without breaking your bank. We all have dream cars: Ferrari’s, Lamborghinis, etc. For some people, a Tesla is at the same level as those two. You see how sleek the Tesla’s are and the profile of the typical Tesla owner and you may think they are out of your reach for now. But are they really? Let’s break it down:

How to put Tesla Model 3 into Neutral


Before entering a car wash, you probably questioned “how do I put the car in neutral?” Unlike many ICE, it is not as trivial for Model 3. Don’t worry, you are not alone. On the Model 3, you simply push down for 1 full click to get into drive, and then softly raise the stick WITHOUT clicking for a few seconds and it will shift into neutral. I hope this helps! Also, don’t forget to turn off automatic wipers before entering that car wash.
