You can use your cellphone as alternative for traffic data.For the traffic’s data alone I think it’s worth it. Went without for about a month when the freeware ran out and then opted in for a year.

Yes, any streaming (TuneIn, Spotify, Apple Music, Netflix, Disney+, etc.) requires premium.Is premium connect also needed to use TuneIn Radio to stream music ? (I think TuneIn is also supported)
I dont have a Spotify subscription so can not use spotify.
Most cell plans (at least in the US) have monthly data caps for hotspot use, so this isn't always a cost-effective option. Also, there's the inconvenience of enabling a hotspot every time someone goes out for a drive... multiplied by number of drivers sharing the car...You can use your cellphone as alternative for traffic data.
I let it expire and was fine without it at first. Lately, I am finding it annoying to use my phone's nav. Avoiding traffic is essential around Denver or going to the mountains. I also miss being able to tell the car to play whatever song I can think of.
I just looked on the app and I didn't see the annual option. Is that only from the car?
Tesla mapping gets traffic data for routing always. It is not dependent on the Premium Connectivity subscription.Do we know where Tesla get's their traffic updates from.
I have come to "love" google maps and their traffic prediction, it quickly takes into account the traffic density, the speed cars travel on specific sections and if there is an accident it pretty quickly marks the area in red, so that i know, sometimes ½ hour in advance that something has happened at a given location, this ups the safety a lot, being able to visually see, that traffic is stopped.
Is tesla "buying" the traffic data from google, or do they rely on real time data from other Tesla's ?
I would guess that there are a lot more cars with google navigation on, than there are tesla's, atleast in "my" country, so i would imagine google's data being more precise.
Asking because, if Tesla is using their own, i am not going to bother paying, to get the traffic data atleast. There might be other reasons, but i will then just use google navigation on my phone as a supplemen to the Tesla navigation.
I believe it’s google…At least that’s what it says on the satellite view of the map.Do we know where Tesla get's their traffic updates from.

Google Maps for presentationI believe it’s google…At least that’s what it says on the satellite view of the map.
I was under the impression most SCs had wifi now that your car will automatically connect to, meaning you don't need a premium connection to stream while at a SC.So far premium connectivity has mostly been useful to stream Disney+ and Netflix to keep the kids entertained on the road when we are at a SC.
Thanks, I didn't know this. Will try the next time I am at a SCI was under the impression most SCs had wifi now that your car will automatically connect to, meaning you don't need a premium connection to stream while at a SC.
But the question is...Where and how does Inrix get their data.Google Maps for presentation
Mapbox for routing
INRIX (or maybe now in-house) for traffic data
