Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If Elvee is unable to communicate with your Tesla or shows it as "Offline", follow these troubleshooting steps.
Step 1: Check Vehicle Cell/Wi-Fi Connection
The vehicle must have an active cellular or Wi-Fi connection to receive commands. If parked in a deep garage or underground deck, it may lose connection.
Step 2: Restart Your Tesla (Scroll Wheel Reset)
Hold down both scroll wheels on the steering wheel for 10 seconds until the touchscreen turns off and the Tesla logo appears.
Step 3: Refresh Your Token
If your authentication token has expired or was revoked (for example, if you changed your Tesla account password):
- Go to Settings in the Elvee app.
- Tap Relink Tesla Account.
- Authenticate again via the secure Tesla sign-in window.
