Yea I did notice the Essential version. Too bad you still have to pay the $99 annual fee for LTE. It's actually cheaper to order from RPlate's website than from Tsportline since they will waive the annual fee for the first year and also give you a voucher for free installation. Tsportline is charging $200 or $300 to install the plate. One thing I do worry about is someone attempting to steal the plate. I know it comes with a bracket that makes it difficult to do so but I still feel like some idiot will mess up my car just trying to pry it offThey have a $500 version called "Essential" that's the same but without vehicle tracking (which who needs with a Tesla anyways). Should be available in March-April.
