Tesla: "Mobile Access Disabled"

How to fix "Mobile Access Disabled"

1. On the touchscreen, tap 'Controls' > 'Safety & Security' and turn on 'Allow Mobile Access'.

2. If the car was just serviced, ask the Service team to confirm Service Mode is off when you collect it.

3. Book a service appointment in the Tesla app if the error stays after pickup.
