Premium Connectivity now available as annual subscription

[EVRider-FL]

You can now subscribe to Premium Connectivity on an annual basis, $99/year in the US (vs. $9.99/month). See this support article for details: Connectivity

Note that like the monthly subscription, if you cancel an annual subscription, you don’t get a refund for the unused portion.

Updated mine. Fairly straightforward through the tesla app

 

[EVRider-FL]

Me too. Note that you can no longer manage the subscription in your Tesla web account, only in the app and in the car.

Is it necessary to cancel the monthly subscription first? I don't see any way of directly updating to the annual option. I live in Spain and I'm not sure if the annual subscription option is already available here.

 

[EVRider-FL]

The support article I referenced in the OP doesn't mention any restrictions based on location. Make sure you have the latest version of the Tesla mobile app (4.6.0). You don't have to cancel anything -- there's an option to convert from a monthly to annual subscription.

There is another thread about this in the model Y. I posted this there, but It took me a bit of poking around to get this setup on my own account. The "gotcha" I found, was that it did not present the option to change subscription type until after I had tapped "save" in the screen that popped up to confirm my address.

The specific post I made in the thread in the model Y subforum is below. Note that, this subforum is the proper one for this topic, at least in my opinion, but I dont have rights to merge etc anything in the model Y or software subforums.

Anyway, here is the post I made in that other thread:

Premium Connectivity Yearly Plan $99

Saw this on reddit looks like there is a yearly option now, good to save $20.

Thanks for posting this! I dont read reddit (or twitter, etc) but normally someone will bring the important stuff here (lol).

I have been waiting for this for a while, as I much prefer paying yearly for this type of thing. I had a little difficulty finding where to do this in the tesla app. For anyone poking around at this like I was, for a few minutes, to change their setting to annually for premium connectivity, try this.

(Tesla app version these steps done on = 4.6.0 -885)

1. Open Tesla app
2. Tap UPGRADES
3. Tap MANAGE (next to gear icon)
4. Ensure ACTIVE tab is selected, then Tap PREMIUM CONNECTIVITY
5. If presented with a billing address screen at this point, verify your billing address and tap SAVE (I got stuck here for a minute. You wont see billing options until you confirm your billing address if this screen presents itself)
6. Tap to switch to the Annual Plan, and then click SUBSCRIBE on the resultant screen

See notice that the annual subscription will begin when your current monthly subscription expires (for me, thats March 4th).

Really appreciate you bringing this information here, @Undisclosed , thanks for sharing!

Thanks. Other spanish Tesla owners, not currently subscribed to premium connectivity, aren’t being offered the annual subscription, so I assume that it’s not yet available here. We’ll have to wait.

Super simple on app to convert. Took me 10 seconds tops.

I have a free subscription which expires in June. If I purchase a 1-year subscription now, will it simply extend my current subscription until June 2023?

Premium Connectivity is available in Spain, according to Tesla. Do you have the latest version of the mobile app?

Don’t know, but why not just wait until your free subscription ends? Maybe you’ll decide to get a new car before June.

Sorry. I meant that the new annual subscription option for premium connectivity is not yet available here in Spain (I‘m paying for a monthly subscription since September 2020). Probably, it is only available in the USA for now, and it will be offered in Europe and other markets in the next days or weeks.

Which version of the mobile app do you have? Have you tried changing the subscription from the touchscreen?

4.6.0 and yes, I tried.

Nobody in the TOC Spain is being offered the new annual subscription yet. This isn't surprising at all; surely it's a matter of waiting a few days.
Thanks for trying to help!

No, the annual subscription will start when the monthly subscription ends.

Thanks. You saved me some money.
