Prepay Premium Connectivity?

[Patrick W]

I am pretty sure I heard Elon say (a while back) that one would be able to pay for Premium Connectivity either monthly or annually. But looking at my My Tesla account I only see the monthly option.

I'd prefer annually. Can that be done?

There's no way, hopefully they add it with a slight discount, I'd also like to.

Where will I be able to see my connectivity level? I'm not sure if I have this premium level. MCU1 and I don't play games use the browser. 2017 90D I don't see anything on the app under upgrades.

Did you get it free with the car? If you have satellite maps and access to Spotify/etc then you should have it. It's $9.99/month normally.

How about an option for a lump sum purchase of Supercharging for life?

On my S when I open the Software page on the touchscreen there's a space reading "Premium Connectivity" followed by the data it expires.

Thanks, it shows it with no expiration date.

Yes. Just like some older Teslas have lifetime supercharging some also have lifetime premium connectivity.

Yes. Just like some older Teslas have lifetime supercharging some also have lifetime premium connectivity.

The date on those cars is up to 30 June 2018. Cars ordered after that date pay.
Some used or CPO cars though that were purchased from Tesla may have lost that free connectivity. So, we can't just say, "older cars all have it". Like all things Tesla, ' it depends '.

Hence my use of the qualifier "some". But, you are right. With Tesla one never really knows for sure.

 

[Akikiki]

Yes sir. Understood. I didn't not mean to imply otherwise. I could have made that clearer. Lesson learned. Thanks for the catch.

 

[Cal1]

If I sell it can Tesla remove free connectivity like they do supercharging? Does it transfer with my car unlike the lifetime supercharging?

 

[Akikiki]

@Cal1, past experience is yes. But not if you sell it back to Tesla, or to someone that trades/sells it to a non-Tesla dealer. When Tesla finds those they remove them - if past performance repeats itself. Both free premium connectivity and FUSC.
