Also I don't see a place to put a SIM card in, and it's AT&T in the US at least.
There's a slot with one (getting at it is another issue)...

Tesla said it would be free for four years. It's not been 4 years for anyone yet, and Tesla hasn't announced what would happen after that.
Agree not worth teslas trouble, maybe even with the 3. tesla getting their money's worth from logging and telematics. Probably more than we will ever know. They really would not want any car to be without communications, so they have to pay for it anyway!It's going to cost them more to administer the plan than they'll ever collect for it. That's why I don't think they'll ever charge for it, until perhaps the Model 3 comes out, and I'd even go as far to say at that point, it will be easy to add the car to your own cell phone plan.

Why do you think a significant percentage of the generally less affluent Model 3 owners will be "privacy nuts"?Totally. But I think with Model 3,and the different demographic audience that is, Tesla might be forced to offer a complete "opt-out" option for telemetry and logging. It's fine for MS and MX owners who are generally more affluent and can understand the benefits/trade-offs, but I think a significant percentage of M3 owners will be "privacy nuts" and want the ability to turn it completely off, so they can't be tracked at all, and of course, lose all the benefits like app control, Nav, streaming audio, traffic, and firmware updates only available when the car comes in for service.

I haven’t tested it, but I was under the impression that it’s been like this for a couple years. Ever since there was some concern over the possibility of someone hacking the WiFi while the car was driving.I think people have posted that the hotspot connection to wifi turns off when you're driving. Anybody confirm this? That would be... disappointing.

My mistake, I must have remembered it wrong or gotten bad information.It automatically switches to 3G/LTE when you shift into drive, but you can easily switch back to wifi once driving. The change had nothing to do with wifi hacking.

Do you know why it would switch off when putting the car into drive then?
