Is there a way to get rid of the ad at the top of the Tesla app

pretty ridiculous to be advertised to after buying a nearly $50k car… plus a $15 reward is a joke. I’ve had this in my app for at least a month.

Swipe it

wayzata20 2026-01-09 20:25

it really was that simple! thanks

Ordinary-Cake8510 2026-01-09 20:25

Yeah. It’s just so obvious that you assume it’s wrong.

scorzon 2026-01-09 20:26

echoing others, specifically swipe it to the left and a red square white cross appears which cancels it

nissansupragtr 2026-01-09 20:27

Wow I did not even think to do this wtf. Thanks!

Local-Associate-9135 2026-01-09 20:28

Crap, I tried swiping to the right a couple times but didn't work. I swiped to the left and it's gone now, thanks!

Embarrassed_Sea6750 2026-01-09 20:31

OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU I RANDOMLY STUMBLED ON THIS JUST LIVING WITH THAT AD LIKE IT WAS AN UNWANTED MOLE... YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!

Enjoy_The_Ride413 2026-01-09 20:36

Swipe lol!

iKnowRobbie 2026-01-09 20:37

Damnit. And I just kept referring people when it asked like a good little tool. Hey, anyone want to try FSD??

Next_Apartment5786 2026-01-09 20:46

I cannot believe I have had that for 6 months and all I had to do was swipe?! I thought it was a permanent thing haha!

rombulow 2026-01-09 20:47

Bop it

mampersat 2026-01-09 20:50

Thank you! I was so annoyed that the buttons would move after opening the app and that stupid ad shifted everything down in exactly the amount of time it took me to try to press the frunk-open or heat-on buttons.

$15 reminds me of my manager at Amazon sending me $15 gift card for working 3 weekends straight.

As easy as it is, it was likely a deliberate choice not to put an X in the corner.

Ordinary-Cake8510 2026-01-09 21:24

Oh, for suresies. But, thankfully, there’s a way to get rid of it.

OldDevelopment5105 2026-01-09 21:26

I prefer to Boop it...

Cimexus 2026-01-09 21:58

Xs in the corner is not really a good paradigm for mobile interfaces. Too small to reliably hit. Swipe to dismiss is pretty universal.

DeterminedMidLifer 2026-01-09 22:44

I also feel like a dumbass. Thanks all for the help

No-Pilot5559 2026-01-09 23:03

I too have had this for 6 months and never knew I could simply swipe it away. I’m going to bed now

trouble808 2026-01-09 23:23

What!?!? Thank you!

rupees_al 2026-01-10 00:14

Thank you. Didn't even think of swiping.

Mundane_Engineer_550 2026-01-10 00:53

lol i've had my car almost an entire year and I've never even noticed it , guess overtime you just don't pay attention to it

word-dragon 2026-01-10 01:06

Kudos to you for asking a great question!

SeventyH8 2026-01-10 01:12

Imagine your car keys trying to sell you something…

UNCLE__TYS 2026-01-10 01:27

Swipe!

goodvibezone 2026-01-10 03:55

Banners haven't ever been permanent on the app, and have always been swipeable. Just they seem to change how to swipe it!

PaidForThis 2026-01-10 04:45

My god when did it first pop up? Oh, july 2021.

ProblemsAreSelfMade 2026-01-10 05:23

Bop it

Brownstone1892 2026-01-10 10:39

Seems a bit more generous on the less mental side of the pond.650 Supercharger miles, or £250...

tobykoch2701 2026-01-10 13:02

Come to Germany 🇩🇪No FSD in the near future, means 10 till 20 years😂

moviefan64 2026-01-11 02:48

I want to be referred to try fsd.

Present-Ad-9598 2026-01-11 03:12

Just remove it 😭😭😭 did you seriously make a post instead of swiping it omg

supermam32 2026-01-11 05:10

It’s a car app, the other car apps do the same thing. I’ve had ford and Chevy do it. It’s just promotions

Perfect_Researcher33 2026-01-11 09:21

Haha Reddit is great! I’ve had this for months too, just started to live with it. This Reddit was suggested to me. Brilliant. Thanks

Drovich74 2026-01-11 13:47

And to think that one day we'll have ads on our car screens… Luckily Amazon doesn't make cars.

Leather-Cod2129 2026-01-11 15:11

Thank you!!!!

gocard 2026-01-11 15:54

Just refer some friends

Mocchanyen 2026-01-11 16:09

I intuitively figured it out that I had to simply swipe the first day and showed my coworker how to remove it after he had his Tesla for over a year. That banner never appeared again ever since

sdinvest 2026-01-11 20:41

Are you kidding me! All I needed to do was swipe left??? I hated that ad or other ad showing on top every time!

Hot_Check_5123 2026-01-12 09:04

Right and x that sucker

Bixnoodby 2026-01-12 10:15

Jesus, this whole comment section isn’t very flattering about the average Tesla owner

ThatGuyInBlue22 2026-01-13 00:14

LOL never bothered me until this post and I laughed when I swiped it after this comment.

theotherharper 2026-01-13 02:12

So not a regular Tinder user then :)

Ordinary-Cake8510 2026-01-13 04:39

Honestly, I’m just glad it helped a lot more people than I thought it would!

TooPuMp-cHuMP 2026-01-13 18:08

Purchase FSD lol

origosis 2026-01-14 15:38

![gif](giphy|PUBxelwT57jsQ) 1 year... 1 full year of staring at that stupid ad. And it sliding down and moving a button just as I went to press it..... And all I had to do was swipe!?!?!? Now I want that new law that requires ads to have obvious and clear methods to close. ASAP.

Ordinary-Cake8510 2026-01-14 15:42

I think it should have an X. That would be best.

Superb-Training-1382 2026-01-14 16:36

I referred it to someone and it went away
