A friend of mine had his Tesla's radio/modem/whatever chip die, so his internet connectivity stuff didn't work. He told me that most things continued to work just fine and he continued to drive it for a few days while waiting for his repair appointment.
So... add a "friend of a friend" confirmation to that.
- crotchfire 3y agoPretty sure OP plans on using their car for more than "a few days".
- Libcat99 3y agoPresumably you would not be able to get Ota fixes for recall events, though. Does tesla even have a procedure to install such updates without Ota?
- ragnese 3y agoNo idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. When this friend told me about his broken network radio and that he was getting it replaced I just told him that I would leave it broken and consider it a feature...
