How to get premium connectivity on SR PLUS?

[Zsik3115]

Hi,

How do I get premium connectivity on SR plus? Can I purchase somewhere? My maps version says 2018.12

Tesla have been promising they will allow an upgrade purchase for years now, still not implemented. Also they haven't started charging Premium interiors either.

Call it incompetence or just busy, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Bugger... So no internet browser for us partial premium folk?

Unfortunately, no browser either. Would be nice if Tesla enabled it while on Wi-Fi.

Wow. Although according to a FAQ apparently we may have 'more details later this year'. Cant wait!

If I remember correctly, that FAQ entry dates from last year, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

You can't. It is one of the differentiators between SR+ /long range and performance.

One of the sales at Brisbane said available by subscription, perhaps he gave me the wrong information.

Bugger. Anyone in Australia got this email yet?
I’ll have to decide if using Tunein is worth US$10 per month.

Not yet. I think you get the first year free

Only get the first year free on cars with premium interior (LR and Perf.). SR+ is only meant to get 30 days free, but most have had it longer than 30 days, but now that premium connectivity is setup, the 30 day trial will be likely enforced.

It is. Basically you have your favourite radio stations anywhere in the country there is LTE. All at digital quality. So better than fm.

Not disputing its better than FM.
But I can get TuneIn via bluetooth, or hotspotting off my phone. Not sure I need to pay for another “mobile service” for TuneIn only.

I also see in the article that SR+ will get live traffic and satellite view on the maps with premium connectivity - which we currently don't get with our "trial". Hopefully they will be included when we eventually start paying for this.

I'd be more than happy to hand over a reasonable amount to keep getting access to Spotify, Tunein, Netflix, etc. And definitely live traffic!

I hope they fix the navigation routing at the same time - I find that it often directs me to a road on the opposite side of where I need to get to, that has no access. It's definitely not using Google routing as that gets it right every time.
