Can I still use Tesla data plan cross border

[BULLSHARK]

Might be a stupid question, never drove my model Y to States yet. Planning a raod trip for couple weeks, just wondering if the current data plan/premium connection still work in US?

Thanks.

Yes, my understanding is that Tesla premium connection works in both.
In fact, we are going to Vancouver, BC this coming weekend. And Canada and US have mutual auto-insurance agreement that covers both countries.

Yes, can confirm that the Tesla data works across border. Just returned from a road trip, Toronto to Chicago and back to Toronto, no issues at all. When you cross the border, it takes a couple minutes to find a new signal but other than that the user experience is seamless.

Do Teslas use Starlink? Maybe Elon gives himself a good rate.

Thank you for making this post, was wondering the same thing

We go to vancouver pretty often and every time the transition has been seamless. No interruption in navigation and traffic information. Spotify just continues working. It’s actually smoother in the tesla than on my phone with tmobile.

We live in Ontario and went to several states in US, including ME, MD, VT, NY, VA, WV, NC and SC. In all cases, the premium connectivity worked fine. Understandably in some rural areas, the signal is weak or non-existent but we found that in general, we had good connection.

Definitely not worse than my Rogers phone with roaming data.

What about Mexico?

No problem at all. We live in Vancouver and went to Seattle this past February. Premium connectivity continued to work as expected.

Yes. Been to Canada and back to the USA. No problems. No need to call. Everything still works!

I'm pretty sure it's cellular

I've done the reverse, road tripping in BC with a car from California. In fact, at home I don't buy premium connectivity, but I buy it when going on a road trip. It provides just a little bit of extra value. My cell phone plan roams at no charge in Canada so it doesn't provide the extra boost of non-roaming web browser (not that the Tesla web browser is what could be called useful.)

Not that Tesla wants to help me save money, but I would like it if they offered a plan that was "Premium connectivity when more than 100 miles from home at 40 cents/day."
