Premium Connectivity Across Borders?

[zlindy]

Hey all - my 2020 Model 3 (in Washington, USA) currently has premium connectivity. We are taking a road trip to Canada next week. Does anyone know if the premium connectivity will continue to work across the border? Is there anything I would need to do to enable it?

This reddit thread claims the AT&T sim in Model 3s have roaming enabled, and that it works in Canada:

This thread even claims it works in Mexico:
Connectivity when driving in Mexico

Of course, you are limited to service in areas AT&T has roaming agreements. I have AT&T on my phone also, so it would be the same, but if you have a different phone carrier, you may have situations where your phone has service and car does not (and vice versa).

Tesla made sure their cars can connect to cellular across Canada and USA. Canadian-based vehicles are provisioned on Telus and roam on AT&T & T-Mobile in the US. US-based vehicles are on AT&T and roam on Rogers, Telus or Bell in Canada.

Yes it will work.

I crossed 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. The only hick up is when the car changes networks, you may loose streaming for 5 minutes as the car connects to the new network, May not happen to you but that is what happened to me going in to the US and then later coming back to Canada.

Anyone know if I drive a Canadian car to the us, and add premium connectivity while in the us, if it will be at the US price or Canadian Price?

If you have a Canadian account I would just assume you get Canadian service and price, and that includes US roaming.
