I read today from a Tesla email that remote diagnostics and battery monitoring will be done over satellite on the Model S.
This is news to me - I've always heard that this was done over a terrestrial cellular network data connection (3G or EDGE) on the Roadster.
I have been told before that this would be the same on Model S.
I would think that satellite would not make sense - satellite communication is really bad in garages.
I am beginning to think the rep's information is incorrect.

Has there been a change? Has anyone else heard news like this?
