Netflix App to leave Teslas (UPDATE: not true, disregard)

[Fishcake]

Just received an email that Netflix will not work in Tesla’s starting December 1st 2019 because of technical limitations.
What the hell is that all about??? We just got the update in the 10.0 update. When I called Netflix they told me this is true. The Netflix app will not work in Tesla after December 1st 2019!! I am wondering if it has something to do with Tesla starting to charge for data plans??

Here is the email:

We wanted to let you know that a device you recently watched Netflix on will no longer be available after December 1st, 2019, due to technical limitations. The impacted device will display a message when you open Netflix to remind you of this upcoming change.
You can still enjoy Netflix with our latest features on many TV devices as well as phones, tablets, and computers. Please visit netflix.com/compatibledevices for our complete device list.

Did you try to watch Netflix with wifi or lte of lte if lte try with wifi it's possible the problem is the download speed.

That's depressing. Hopefully it's just an app update required on Tesla's part.

did you edit the email? because it says 'a device' not that you used your car. I've used netflix as recent as yesterday and haven't gotten this email yet.

That's a good point. Maybe someone else also uses your account on an old device not related to your Tesla.

Which tesla do you have, and are you 100% sure with no chance of variability at all that netflix was not used on "some other device" other than your tesla thats old? I use netflix in my car, on LTE, and have not received such a message, and "the google" shows ZERO reports of this.

There is ZERO chance that something this big would not be reported all over the place, so either OP is on bleeding edge of this notification.... or OP is making a mistake and there is some other device on their account that is being flagged. My bet would be on the later, not the former.

Netflix will stop working on December 1st if you use one of these Roku devices

Nice find. Now, OP, do you have any roku devices on your netflix account (or does someone anyone you are sharing your account with?)

If so, please post so, and also please report your post to the mods here so they can change the title of your post since you wont be able to do so.

EDIT:... I just noticed that OP said he "called netflix". So OP are you saying that netflix told you, that it would "no longer work in TESLAs?"

Not to be a complete skeptic, but I highly doubt this is in any way accurate. A single user was notified out of the 100s of thousands? Makes little to no sense.

I don't buy it either. This big of a change would be widespread.

Okay TMCers
After more research I have discovered I received bad intel from a Netflix rep.
Please except apologies to all for tail spinning.
I did make another call to Netflix and explained to this rep what I was told. They told me to disregard.
Netflix will indeed continue to support the Tesla app!
Once again apologies for sharing bed Intel.

Heads up - the short's are using this to spread more lies about Tesla.

LOL shorts.

To the OP, happy to see you correct it, but it’s also posted on Reddit. This sort of nonsense spreads like wildfire.

BTW, just got a warning informing me my battery has expired and will no longer work after November 4th.... (getting ready to click 'buy')

Goes both ways.
People only hate it when it goes against their belief/opinion.

1st mistake: believing phone reps know anything.

 

[mswlogo]

How about Mod's change this title and lock this thread.
