Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus now gets Streaming, Satellite Maps, and Web?

Just got into my SR+ and noticed these new features after an update. Anyone else have this?

 

[commasign]

Two possibilities:

1) it's a mistake and these will disappear with the next update
2) Tesla has decided it's not worth the extra time and effort to software lock these features on some cars

Hoping it's #2.

I just picked up my SR today with the EXACT same version (v2019.12.11.4b1dd29) and I do Not have Streaming Music, Satellite Maps or a Browser. So to me, it looks like the SR+ is now getting those features for real now, while the SR doesn't.

All 3 of those features cost $100/year after the first year, no matter what upper trim level you have, right?

Not that useful...

Not that useful...

my sentiments.
i don't stream music.
I prefer clean standard nav view.
web surfing is easier on my phone because I can type faster.
And if it costs $100/yr after the first year I won't subscribe anyway.

What I want is faster acceleration.

After July 2018, those before get it forever on all Tesla platforms. They had been talking about taking the feature away after 4 years from everyone, but in 2018 it was 6 years since the first Model S's and they were still going. The service isn't free for Tesla so something had to budge. Although it is likely that they pay by the GB across the entire fleet so I can listen to my streaming radio (aka Slacker/Spotify) and it's not that big a deal as there are likely several others who are not even driving their car or who drive but listen to FM instead.

Not as nice as having free unlimited supercharging for life (FUSL) but I am happy I got it. Of course, they'll probably put SpaceX satellite service on next years cars.

Had those for a few minutes and got to use them, Streaming, Sat Nav and Browser but then the display froze and rebooted and it’s all gone.

I have the Standard Range Plus with the same version and do not have the premium streaming features you have on yours. I wish I did I have seen others say the same thing here as well. On their announcement of the Standard Range model it specifically states the Standard Range will be software limited Plus without Premium connectivity. Heres to hoping!

My 2019 SR+ is also running 2019.12.1.1, I just double check and confirmed my car still don't have the satellite maps, music streaming and the web browsers.

I've heard rumors from Tesla Delivery Rep + Salesman locally that these features should be coming soon (with subscription fees)

 

[Lostb0y]

Yeah I heard that from others as well. Its also been on their website for over a year saying (Coming later this year) so who knows with Tesla Time

 

[Lostb0y]

Weird, I coworker at work today with a Plus also has the premium connectivity package now. He got his car roughly 2 weeks before I did.

 

[hlin07]

This is interesting, perhaps a way to entice SR+ owners to not downgrade?
But, some people has it while others don't, on the same software version....

 

[Lostb0y]

Yeah weird. Not complaining. I do want it and would gladly pay for it. It is interesting that it appears several people do have it and others don’t.

 

[Wennfred]

Will submit a service ticket to see what’s up.

Cool, let us know. I was at the service center yesterday and totally forgot to ask about it.

 

[Wennfred]

Appointment May 21st unless someone else beats me it, or they send me a new update.

[ngogas]

Sounds like a mistake do enjoy it till it goes bye bye.

 

[Lostb0y]

Ok something is definitely weird. Was at the Superchargers and next to me is a guy who also has the options on his plus. He said his was with 12.1.1 as well. Hmmm

 

[dmurphy]

Sounds like the features are enabled upon software update, then a command comes down from the Mothership later to disable them. Stand by - we’ve seen it go away for others .... if not, Mazel tov!

 

[israndy]

When I first got my car in March of last year there were reports of Model 3's that were not getting charged for Supercharging, including a friend who picked up his car when I picked up mine. It didn't last forever, so this probably won't either. Audits eventually happen.
