Tesla won’t give you anything unless you are going to end up with less than the standard trial period they offer as part of the spec of the Car.

Rumour of free premium for leases cars ending

Mine appears in my app as of this morning, I'm with Lex and didn't bother phoning anyone...
Not sure I actually want or need premium connectivity TBH. Standard connectivity still gives you traffic routing and supercharger availability info, which is all I really care about.

Connectivity | Tesla Support United Kingdom
Connectivity is an important part of all Tesla vehicles, further enhancing the driving experience by providing access to features that require data usage. Find out more about Standard and Premium Connectivity.
But the layman’s interpretation:
Irrespective of whether you tether your car to a phone hotspot or not you lose the satellite images if you have those turned on, and the traffic indication on the map, although live traffic info is still available for nav routing, as are superchargers, search, etc
You also lose the ability to view the cameras remotely when on sentry mode.
Of those, only the live traffic offers any real value to me and I can live with out. You may be different.
The rest of the stuff works exactly the same if you have a wireless hotspot from your phone including the free Spotify account.

I love the satellite maps to be honest, it’s one of the things that impresses people the most when they sit in the car.
I also just like how integrated everything is without having to activate my hotspot every time. Well worth £10 a month to me.

I did log out and back into the app and that helped, maybe try that, I also heard some people ringing up Tesla and they were able to add it for them.
There’s no right and wrong, I find the satellite images too busy but can understand why you think differently.
The only wrong as such is making a decision based on duff info.

Have done, twice now. I'll try calling Tesla, heard nothing from Lex.
Edit: Got my wife to check on her iPhone, and there it is!

Mine appeared last night on the app and I subscribed, I guess the way to look at it is that I've had in for free for 4 months I guess

I tend to agree. Satellite maps looks flashier, but normal maps is more functional I think. You can see local businesses etc, congestion marking is more obvious, etc.
It doesn’t help that satellite maps are so zoomed out. Wherever I try and pinch zoom it I lose the whole “map moves with the car” functionality.
Interesting. So if this was “free” due to no billing mechanism all along, and no lease companies were paying for fleet connectivity, how come for lex it’s a year, but others it’s 30 days?
Did the trial period change from a year to 30 days in December or something?

Depends when you ordered your car. The LR came with 12 months premium until sept 21 I think. I ordered in July 21 and had it delivered in March - mine expires March 23
Got my LR from LEX 15th Dec 2021, mine says expires 1st May.
Where is the consistency??
It's getting really difficult lately to recommend Tesla's.
