Agreed. They are not going to get many takers shelling out a $1000 for a partially working web browser that is awkward to use when you already have your phone/laptop or tablet. Streaming music is nice but not for that kind of money when your phone is sitting right next to you. The satellite maps, nice touch but again not necessary to get to your destination as the standard maps work fine for that. Live Traffic is ok but not worth that much money when Waze is free. More frequent updates over cellular? That just seems wrong as we get them by being on WiFi. And why are they more frequent?
$100 a year is all Premium Connectivity is really worth.
Some of the premium features are nice like the maps, traffic views and streaming services. I could care less about the Web Browser and Games. I don't play games in my house so why would I play them in my car? As far as cost I would not pay to continue the services if they cost a 1000 a year but I would start to compare features available in other makes and models as Tesla needs to provide a certain level features. This is supposed to be a luxury car comparible to BMWs and Mercedes if they don't measure up people will move away from Tesla.
As far as connectivity I have to you my house wifi or my phone hotspot to get software updates. I don't know what exactly the car's LTE connection is good for.
