I'm not sure I know some Model S owners appeared to have french or german providers initially as websites were pushed through to those based on the IP address.

Model 3 Premium Connectivity
- Thread starter Grymbok
- Start date
Yes it definitely roams all or most UK networks. I have a feeling the ISP is Dutch, but I could be wrong.
I’d be interested in knowing this too - O2 was the UK carrier a few years ago, but not sure if this has changed.
Roaming SIM’s would be ideal for coverage but from what I understand would be much more expensive (even just loading map tiles and music streaming).

Does anybody have a screenshot of the definition of Premium Interior from May this year when orders started? There's a rumour that the Premium Connectivity was not limited to 1 year. Attached view shows current definition for reference.

I think it was always in the small print - I queried it at Heathrow within a few days or ordering (01/05) so I must have read/thought something to make me ask about it. They had no answer to when, other than it hadn't been implemented yet and the talked about price was $100/year.

The attached was taken on the 13th June if that helps.

I’m expecting to have to pay after year 1. As the fleet expands the data costs are going to be huge, so unsustainable to keep it free.
I’m happy to pay for the service because there is simply nothing to compete with it on any other brand.
The Kona has no data connectivity built in, zilch, zero. If you want live traffic on the sat nav you have to use your phone as a data hotspot. Even the Leaf had an app and basic data to check things like charging!

Of course the argument from Tesla will be that anyone who took advantage of price cut will be getting a post price cut spec. I'm not sure how this will stack up if challenged. I'm expecting them to say this with Homelink and I'm expecting that I will take professional advice to challenge this. I think the devil will be in the small print.
I’m the same regarding Homelink. I even updated my garage door to be compatible before they removed it
And although my price did come down, at no point did I ask for the reduced price.
I’ll certainly argue the toss with the boys and girls at Stockport.
I can't imagine Tesla will start to charge in the UK, or in Europe, and not charge in the US. Which they have not done since 2012. But if they really have a Europe wide roaming SIM deal, and bearing in mind Netflix and YouTube are soon to be enabled (while parked), $100 a year, or £100, would be incredible value. I'm not going to worry.
very true, Tesla could always turn around and be like ok we will charge you what you paid at the time of order, which will be more... So better off getting homelink and anything else missing afterwards
The FAQ says for cars purchased after June 30th 2018 will come with 1 year, they have yet to implement charging, but I have a feeling this will happen with V10, which is due soon, and yes will be rolled out globally.
Go for it! You won't regret the extra range and better power and handling in bad weather. Plus your daily 80-90% recommended charge-to level will be of decent range. I have no regrets with my AWD LR.
