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

was sure i was going to subscribe when the trial ended, but now I'm not sure after using standard connectivity for a few days. I don't use any of the extra features besides spotify, and even then i have a separate subscription and i can stream it from my phone. it helps that i can change the music from the screen and not fidget with my phone. the convenience for live traffic is also a plus. $10/month isn't much, but I'm not sure I really need this at this point. Maybe until Tesla releases more premium connectivity features like sentry mode viewing.
I have only had the car for 4 months but lost traffic visualisation about a month ago around the time that I updated the software. With premium interior it is supposed to last a year. Not sure if the software is just unreliable, it is a glitch or what. I have not been invited to subscribe. Not sure it will be worth subscribing if the feature randomly disappears. TuneIn still appears to be working.

I had my free trial for a month, it's great. In my area I have three different ways to get to work, they all require a drawbridge or tunnel (tolled)
By having a quick scan of the traffic I can see which route to take of one bridge is backed up.
Second reason, on Google Fi I pay $10/gb per month. If I stream for a month, I average around 700mb. So that's $7. I realized the extra fee and extra features where I've already been able to dodge traffic jams is worth it.

I got this in January. Thought long and hard (about .0001 nanoseconds) and bought the premium connectivity. Worth every penny. Go for it and don't look back.

Just got the email here in Canada, the free premium connectivity was nice well it lasted. But it's totally worth the subscription for me.
Yes, but that works even without premium connectivity.
Sometimes I swipe around the map to look for congested routes to plan my trip.
Since I use the browser for Waze I'm going to need to subscribe once this pandemic thing is over.
Same here. At C$15+ per month including tax, I’m not sure if I’m going to bite. My free year doesn’t expire until august anyway, but hopefully there’s an annual option that saves us a few dollars. $100/year or so I’d go for it.
Since you didn't read the entire thread...
Not sure what it converts to in Canadian dollars, but in the US (where the monthly cost is $10/month), there is an annual plan for $120 that is taken in 12 monthly installment payments.
Point 1 doesn’t make any sense, the car will make the decision what the fastest route is regardless if you pay for the extras.
usually when you pay annually you get a break on the cost, not just the same monthly fee x 12.
And that is the answer - there isn't an annual discount.

I think that's crazy (having to pay per month). I understand they'll make more $$ but I think more people would sign up; like me.
Considering it took them a couple of years to even figure out how to charge for this service, you will probably be waiting for a while to see annual discounts (if they even do come up with any).
And what would you expect? Maybe you pay $100 for an annual instead of $120? Are you really wrapped up in that $20? Either you want the connectivity as it exists or you don't.
