TESLA MODEL 3/Y - MYQ SETUP

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive guide to installing and utilizing the myQ Connected Garage system in a Tesla Model 3, particularly addressing issues with the native Homelink system. The reviewer highlights that the 2022 Tesla software update enabled this feature, offering a viable alternative for those without Homelink or experiencing its limitations. A key frustration with Homelink is its failure to auto-open/close when reversing into the garage, a problem myQ successfully resolves. The installation process, involving app setup and linking accounts via QR code, is demonstrated clearly. Testing confirms myQ's auto-open and auto-close functionality, with adjustable distances, and its ability to provide real-time status updates via the smartphone app, a feature lacking in Homelink. While the myQ app itself is free, the auto features require a subscription, which the reviewer notes is significantly more expensive than the one-time Homelink purchase, especially for longer-term ownership. Despite the cost, the reviewer concludes that myQ effectively solved their specific auto open/close issues and recommends trying the 30-day free trial.
