And extremely expensive from a data perspectiveI wish they update the car to provide wifi hotspot. That'll be handy imo.
btw I hope "premium internet" isn't what we are seeing with the free trial. I wouldn't pay for the access the free trial provides.
You wouldn't pay $100/year for unlimited streaming, podcasts, realtime traffic, updates, and internet browser access? Consider the pricing of other LTE streaming prices... $100/year is cheap honestly. Yeah some people complain Slacker is crappy (and yes I would prefer Spotify too), but the pricing is very fair in my opinion.
Maybe you missed my earlier post saying it is a good deal. But if you are getting really spotty service or no service at all, I wouldn't. I already contribute that to Verizon and Comcast.
As an alternative to the $100/premium connectivity, you can always pay for mobile hotspot on your phone and use that to wifi tether to the car.
Does that actually work currently? I thought it disables WiFi when you start driving? Not a problem since we always have mobile currently... but may be an issue once the year rolls around.
I have AT&T on my phone, the Tesla has on several occasions not been able to connect to a cell tower while my phone had full bars.In the US they all use AT&T... which has one of the best coverage maps of any of the providers in the US. Obviously there's gaps in coverage for every provider. Maybe your luck isn't as great as others... I've had no issue even in more remote areas...but then again I live in AT&T country.
Obviously if you never get AT&T reception on your Tesla then you shouldn't pay the $100/yr... but it's hard for Tesla to really do much. Every car provider has the same problem. It's possible you could do dual providers like AT&T + Verizon or something, but then the cost is substantially increased. Dual modems, dual antennas, and two data contracts...
