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 Model S
updates (see
Tesla recommends leaving Wi-Fi turned on
and connected to a Wi-Fi network. To connect
to a Wi-Fi network:
1.
Touch the
LTE
(or
3G
) icon in the
touchscreen status bar. Model S will start
scanning and display the Wi-Fi networks
that are within range.
2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use,
enter the password (if necessary), then
touch
Connect
.
You can also connect to a hidden network that
isn't shown on the list of scanned networks.
Just touch
Wi-Fi Settings
and enter the name
of the network in the resulting dialog box.
Once you have connected to a network,
Model S automatically connects whenever the
network is within range. If more than one
previously connected network is within range,
Model S 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.
Note:
At Tesla Service Centers, Model S
automatically connects to the Tesla Service
