Premium Connectivity cost $9.99/month for many Model 3 versions

[GDubya]

Having a SR+ I am more than happy to pay 9.99 a month for satellite view maps and live traffic. I think its a bargain really. Just wondering when the change will actually happen in the car.

Electrek has a good write-up. I wouldn’t mind this as much if I could pick my own carrier. AT&T is really bad in some places and then compared to my Verizon unlimited plan it’s just not even close. But maybe this will un-throttle the speed a bit?

Tesla starts charging $10 a month for its 'premium connectivity' features - Electrek

Oh, I can’t wait for all the whining entitlement. I just hope none of the YouTube stars have to start paying...that’s all we will hear about.

And so it begins....

YUP. Great find.

Which car do you have?

9.99 seems fair but I also would like a yearly option at $100 with the understanding it’s non refundable.

Just be glad it's not $25/mo

My 2016 Volt came with 3 free years of Premium OnStar and Sirius. I let them both lapse when the free trial ended - although I miss the ability to send a destination to the factory nav. The Volt does have Apple CarPlay, but it has a very slow response time to everything, so I never use it. I knew the premium subscription was coming when I took delivery of my 3 Performance last December, so I am okay with it and subscribed this morning.....

I had an older phone and it was painfully slow. I upgraded my phone and experience has been awesome... Fast, responsive... and no extra cost. Also... not all USB cables work... Just read the reviews for cables and buy the ones that work with AA/CP.

I was hoping there would be an annual billing option like OnStar and Sirius.

I would imagine it will be an option - down the road, its pretty standard for subscription services these days.

Well, I’d like at least Apple Music (or all my other options like YouTube music, Amazon etc) and a SiriusXM app too please at least.... working while driving...

I missed the lifetime cutoff by 28 days. I guess it's worth $10 a month, but I thought it would be a bit cheaper for some reason. Maybe they will offer a $100/year option.

This is the Sat Nav on the SR+ back on 29 April 2019, I had it for 10 minutes after looking for Easter eggs

 

[seattlite2004]

Ahh... Was wondering what those in line and early reservation holders were rewarded with.... It's free lifetime premium connectivity... Nice!

It appears that Tesla sent the same email to all Model 3 owners. It’s not clear from the email whether they intended to offer satellite maps and live traffic visualization to SR/SR+ owners. It appears a few members who own an SR/SR+ have paid for the subscription but are not seeing the satellite maps or traffic data. We’ll have to see if this changes. My guess is the author of the email forgot that the SR/SR+ trims never had that feature and did not intend to offer it to them.

I have a pre unveil day one reservation but didn’t order until after July 1st due to waiting for AWD and P variants to be announced. Got the email...

I’d give the car at least 24hrs to be ready to do maps as Tesla never has their sh*t together for this kind of thing

I’m a Nov 2018 purchase and it absolutely said on my account home page on-line that it was only good for one year. I knew this from day one. Nothing hidden by Tesla here, you may have overlooked it.

Other than not spelling out how much it would cost.

I’m a SR+ owner and I also got the email, look 5 post above where I posted a picture of the Sat Nav back in 29 April, I also got the web browser and the streaming audios, so I know that the SR+ is capable of getting these features.

I haven’t gotten the email (yet).

Meh... You got the build you wanted... $120/yr is a drop in the bucket. But it sucks that there ain't no cost options.

Check your account where you manage and order Auto Pilot, should be listed there.
