In all the chatter about the new configurations, this is the first time I've seen someone raise these valid questions about the map-related options.
Be interested to see how these get answered,

I hope it's an "off the menu" sort of thing. Probably would be something to ask sales or owner advisors, although they might not be fully briefed on everything yet. Don't really see a downside to offering it, as it would bring in some extra cash for Tesla.
I'm waiting to hear back from Tesla on this, but going through the FAQ I found this blurb
So with this I assume all premium interiors have 1 year free access to satellite maps/live traffic/streaming/etc and the SR and SR+ will just have to pay for access with the price still TBD (maybe by July 1, 2019)?

Based on the fact that nowhere has the $100 premium connectivity been mentioned in any further documentation since 7/1/18, one might assume that Tesla has abandoned it....
If Tesla was going to charge this, they would have had to disclosed this to all purchasers since then with pricing.... No?

Thanks. Hopefully my saleslady can confirm this. If so, I am definitely getting the SR+ instead of MR.
I agree, I think they’ve abandoned it for now and made it a differentiator between the SR/SR+ and higher trims. All the language about 1 year or 3 months premium connectivity being included has been removed from the configurator.

It's pretty clear to me:
Standard Interior Includes:
- Manual seat and steering adjustment
- Cloth seats and base trim
- Basic audio
- Standard maps and navigation
- Center console with storage and 4 USB ports
- 12-way power adjustable heated front seats
- Premium seat material and trim
- Upgraded audio – immersive sound
- Standard maps & navigation
- LED fog lamps
- Center console with storage, 4 USB ports and docking for 2 smartphones
- 12-way power adjustable front and rear heated seats
- Premium audio – 14 speakers, 1 subwoofer, 2 amps, and immersive sound
- Satellite-view maps with live traffic visualization and navigation
- In-car internet streaming music & media
- Internet browser
- Location-aware automatic garage door opener
- LED fog lamps
- Center console with storage, 4 USB ports and docking for 2 smartphones
- Tinted glass roof with ultraviolet and infrared protection
- Auto dimming, power folding, heated side mirrors
- Music and media over Bluetooth ®
- Custom driver profiles
To get a browser/In-car internet streaming music & media, you need to pay for Premium.
To get Premium, you need to get MidRange and above.
SR and SR+ can't get Premium.
If you can't get Premium, you can't get a browser/In-car internet streaming music & media.
If Tesla doesn't provide SR & SR+ a browser app or an internet streaming music & media.app then paying internet won't solve the problem of missing apps.
I agree - no internet for SR models. No option to buy later. Nothing. (Very possible that you can later but not for $100 a year)
It is such a great feature that it will encourage lots of folks to pony up to the MR but creates very little (even possibly zero) manufacturing headaches.
The modem might actually cost them something. It was like a $300 part for upgrades on the S.

They must have some form of wireless mobile data connectivity in the SR and SR+, otherwise how do they push OTA updates? And gather all of their autopilot data, which is very important to them? I doubt they'd only do that over WiFi, especially the gathering data aspect.

This article should answer most of the questions on SR/SR+ connectivity.

He may be right, but I think he is just speculating. Here is the sentence in the FAQ article I posted that alludes to this:
“Connectivity plans for Model 3 without Premium Interior will be announced later this year.”
Merely a demand lever to get the orders in before 7/1/18. Yes I got sucked into it. I bet they don’t have the system and code in place to take the subscription and enable/disable it on the cars.
My thoughts exactly. One of those backburner things they might revisit in a few years.
Considering the guy will be out of a job in a few days, not sure about the reliability
There is still a lot of confusion there, so I couldn't get confirmation one way or another. They are finding out info just as we all do in the public. In the end, I went with SR+ because I use Android Auto for map and music through Bluetooth on my other cars, so I really don't need the internet streaming and real time traffic of MR.
