"Always Connected" option now gone from V9?

[AnthonyR0]

Hi folks,

I recently updated the firmware to V9 (2018.39.6 8377b4d) from V8 and can't find the Always Connected option that was present on the previous firmware prior to upgrading (2018.36.2 ac4a215).

Did the Always Connected option get removed permanently from V9? If so, does anyone know if the setting was defaulted to either always on or off?

Is there a particular property we can check through the Tesla API?

I'm about 100% sure I saw it yesterday when looking around the new settings on my X. And I'm on the same software. Sure you're looking in the right place? As always, try a reboot to see if it changes anything?

I don't have a V9 manual around, or I'd show where the setting is!

It should be available for MCU1 vehicles. MCU2 vehicles don't appear to have that option.

We were going crazy trying to find it in the new X last night. I'd forgotten this tidbit of information. Thanks for the reminder.!
