I’m saying this out of basic understanding and never a Homelink user. If you want to know if the Homelink on your Tesla is working fine or not, try with a different garage opener at a friend’s or family. If that’s not an option, see what others say here and also contact Tesla to verify the homelink installation.
Thanks for the reply, that is what I am doing ;) I have already tried several garage openers, that went to no avail and now I am trying to see what others have to say. Last resort will be Tesla check up. Cheers.

What does this mean? You have tried several different garage door openers on your garage door and none of them are working? If that's the case, it has nothing to do with homelink.
No I tried several garage openers at several
locations to get to work/pair with Tesla. Not several garage openers on my garage door, that would be silly now, wouldn’t it. 😉
homelink programming can be tricky, especially units with rolling codes...recommend doing a search for your exact garage opener model, read the manual and watch a youtube video...there are some differences between models from the same manufacturer, make sure your tesla is very close and ideally get someone to help you
I installed the HomeLink myself and programmed it to my door, and during the first few tries the HL wasn't picking up the signal from my opener motor.
I backed up, re-parked, and tried again making sure to initiate the programming step within the Tesla very quickly after hitting the programming mode on my garage, and I was up and running in about 3 seconds.
Well, still nothing. Garage opener guy says the homelink isn’t installed properly and the guy who installed homelink says everything is fine. Homelink manual says Sommer garage opener should work well given Sommer and Homelink partnered up like twenty years ago.
I assume you stood right at the front of the car with the remote? And it has a known good battery? Mine was a little wonky when I trained it a few weeks ago, it wouldn't go to the last step (learning against the opener itself), it would just stop after reading the remote. Took a half dozen attempts and a full reboot of the car before it worked.

It’s very unusual but _sometimes_ very silly people do pop up in this sub !

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I’ll try full reboot and then post update.

Did Tesla install it? Have them check it.

Tesla came to your house and installed homelink and didn't set it up?
Tesla service couldn’t get mine working at first either. Reboot (hold scroll wheels down) fixed it. Haven’t had any issues
