You are defending them charging hundreds a year for map updates because hey it's free initially... while in the same breath saying anybody defending Tesla charging only $120 a year for data (which is an ADDED, HIGHER charge with Lexus on TOP of map updates once your free trial is up)- and Tesla giving FREE map updates for life- is white knighting for Tesla.


Tesla is clearly well ahead of the other luxury brands on costs here over life of vehicle for data AND maps, so your white knighting lux brands by defending "longer trials" with much higher fees later just looks ridiculous- doubly so when you accuse those pointing these facts out of white knighting Tesla.
You don’t have to subscribe or pay for new maps if you choose not to. When did I defend higher price for connectivity services after trial? Only longer trial was defended. — Which is by design as most folks lease luxury brands.

To that end: Tesla currently doesn’t make it easy to use your own hotspot as it turns off by default when you go from park to drive. While that’s a “relatively small” issue, it’s pretty telling that this hasn’t been remedied.

Is there a hotspot out there that will provide unlimited data for $10 a month? Most phone plans only include a small amount of hotspot and charge significantly for overages.
