Contact Elon to get Premium Connectivity Price Reduced as Australia have done.

[Huggybear]

Maybe we should all contact Elon to reduce the UK price as Australia have done. See below.If you convert the Australian price to the UK it should be £5 a month.

I travel to the USA a lot and data is a lot more expensive then the UK, but as usual we are being charged more then most places, why?

—————


Australian Premium Connectivity reduces from $16.99 to $9.99 / month
- All because @elonmusk responded to a request from @AusTeslaOwners - what great service!

Thank you gentlemen!

Agree £9.99 seems steep. I don’t live in my car (yet!).

USD price equates to £8.20
EUR price equates to £8.80, that’s more comparable I recon with comparable VAT and same LTE supplier

so only £1/month more really /shrugs

My point is it still more expensive by 10-20% and 50% more then Australia. Data is way cheaper in Europe then USA, you can get unlimited data, voice and calls for that price (£10) on a phone plan, which you can use anywhere in Europe. I really get annoyed that the uk always seems to pay the same in sterling as dollars and euros for a lot of things which means we pay 10-20% more then most.

Why is Australia pay only £5? Data chargers are not cheaper then Europe.

When my car gets a dedicated phone number, maybe then it'll be worth it.... So i can get or make calls if I lose my phone somewhere.

When it gets video call functionality with the in-cabin camera...

Right now the offering lacks value as the only thing that you cant have is map "visualisations" - stalleite + traffic layer. There is nothing functional and you have have everything else with a hotspot.

Unpopular opinion, (Maybe not?) Premium connectivity is not worth it.

Here we are buying £50k cars and making a fuss about £5/month... Incredible

A better way maybe would be to have a monthly £9.99 rate or an annual rate of £100, which would give a discount of £19.88 over the year and an equivalent monthly rate of £8.33 - but you pay for the year in advance.

When my year is up then I will be upping my data allowance and subscribing to Spotify. I thought id get away without the subscription to spotify, but the in car option is not very good without an account already set up I have found

But try to think: how many £5 will go out at 30/31th of each month ?
And the total is, in my case, £400...

Better to be focused on this upgrade.
How tell who buy yet: for UK the price is too big.
So maybe a reduced price will be better... maybe!

Price is due to rise in July. Not sure if global or US only. Currently we are already on a (lower) price disparity with US. So at present, its only going to head upwards, possibly by around £2k to achieve 'parity' after forthcoming price rise.
