Premium Connectivity (1 year included)

[westrow3]

Haven't seen this anywhere...

Premium Interior Includes a bunch of stuff including 'Premium Connectivity' (1 year included), anyone know what this means specifically and what happens after 1 year in the UK?

Not sure, but there was talk of charging for the SIM card data for Spotify etc.

Could be this.

I could be totally wrong but it could be the difference between the SR+ and the LR/P+ (excluding the speed, range, wheels and subwoofer with extra speaker (or maybe speakers who knows?)

Upgraded maps with traffic?
Rear heated seats (mine worked for a week then got disabled) total guess this one?
Spotify?
And the 4G connection?

I suspect that you'll find out as soon as Tesla does. At this point, no decision

Spotify
Internet radio
Live traffic data on the map
Actual images from google as the 3D map
Some over the air updates instead of wi-fi

westrow3, The Premium Connectivity for 1 year has come and gone (past the anniversary date) on many cars in the U.S. But Tesla did not turn it off or charge the owners. No one knows why. No one knows when they will start charging and no guarantee how much the monthly/annual will be. No one can tell you when or how much. Keep your fingers crossed. You will get your full year, but it could be a month after or a year after when you begin to pay.

I remember reading about it somewhere, can't remember exactly what it was but it basically boiled down to all the "nice to haves" on the connectivity side: Spotify and any other internet connected media, satellite imagery and traffic on maps, maybe a couple of other things.

Edit: also I remember hearing that they planned to charge about £100/year for it.

Tesla reps have told me that it'll likely be a subscription in the future for us - it's $100 in the states, apparently, so it will likely be one hundred of our Leave.EU depreciated pounds.

... and no browser for SR+

Everyone was expecting tesla to implement this on June 30th 2019 as it was a year on from when cars purchased should have stopped, but they haven’t. Rumour has it that when V10 is released (soon?) they will start enforcing at this time as this also includes Netflix and YouTube, but whether this is the case or not, who knows.

Does Tesla benefit from the premium connectivity? Uploading data for future FSD improvements?

The connectivity is still there regardless, just things are disabled from the software so that you can’t use more data, so they can still upload data regardless.

Don't updates come over wifi so won't affect how much data you use?

 

[NorfolkMustard]

urgent/safety updates go over any means available
map updates only go over wifi

other than that, premium connectivity purports to also deliver "More frequent over-the-air updates via cellular", whereas without it they will always wait for wifi.
