Premium connectivity

This is our moment, when being an afterthought finally pays off...

I have a M3 SR+ in Canada (without premium connectivity) and now that they announced this new subscription I suddenly have the ability to stream music. I figured it must be the free trial period but I still have no access to satellite maps or traffic.

If we don't make any noise, they may not notice Canada...........
Everyone will get satellite maps and traffic visuals if they subscribe. It's already appearing for SR+ models in the US.
I have had a SR+ since early Oct. It was delivered with v10 software which had the streaming music Netflix etc enabled. Despite no info, I knew it wouldn't last but was happy to pay for the service. No satellite maps or live traffic, but if that's included all the more reason to subscribe.
Still waiting to hear anything for Canada...

I assume it will be $14/month for us Canadians. I'm wanting this for satellite maps and visual traffic. Either way Tesla Customer Support apologized and said there is no ETA when we will be able to subscribe

Can you get all features by using your cell phone data over WiFi?
If it's 14 cdn a month it might make more sense to add more data to your plan.

Yes and No. The streaming music should work over WiFi while driving. The WiFi gets turned off automatically, when you put Tesla into drive. You have to manually turn WiFi on, if you want to use your hotspot. I'm not sure if this would work for traffic visualization and satellite view. I do have premium connectivity package (for now), so I can't tell the difference when it's connected to WiFi. I do use the hotspot to get the latest s/w updates faster.

Did any Canadian Tesla owners receive an email notification?
How will I be notified when my Premium Connectivity trial is about to expire?
We will automatically send you an email notification with information on how to subscribe to Premium Connectivity in the week before your trial expires.

Connectivity
As a SR+ owner, I don't see myself paying for the premium connectivity.
Also with latest update, my phone is no longer detectable to unlock the doors. I need to manual unlock from the app (even with app open and bluetooth reset, I cannot unlock).
- I would like to see the live traffic but not available on SR+
- Streaming with Spotify is very spotty and does not work majority of the time with me
- YouTube works 100% of the time but I use 5-10 minutes once a week while waiting to pick up a friend, not worth it
- I don't use the browser

I'm also concerned about Model S owners. When I got the car, the "subscription" for connectivity was for 4 years. That was in 2015. I suspect we will feel this as well.

Model S/X owners who bought their car before July 1st, 2018 have free premium connectivity for life.
Last week I entered an address in Nav (SR+) while I was in an area that didn't have Internet access. It came up with a message something like "Planning route without live traffic information." Made me wonder if it actually is using live traffic data behind the scenes.
