Did you get sentry mode live app access? (Requries app version 4.3.0 and car version 40.5+)
I’ve just updated to 40.6 on my 2017 S75D with hardware 3.0/FSD, and app version 4.3 and cannot see any sentry live access.

My Model X (2017 MCU2-HW3) received it (2021.40.6) yesterday, same release notes.
Remote sentry view looks to be currently restricted to the 2021 "refresh" S & X.
Nope it is for 3/Y as well, we just aren't included in getting it at the moment. I assume they are working something out with Telstra with all the extra data going to be used?
guess we're also lagging in the interwebs in aus too, not just boof heads running the place

You are oh so polite
Our adjectives when describing the "boofheads" are much more colourful in this household...
The latest version of ipad ios 15.1 makes apps like tesla work horizontally. Hopefully iphone is next.
There's no live sentry view for us in AU.
Upstream BW on 4G is abundant. Hardly a factor. What is a factor is the $10 a month plan they charge us - that is unlikely to translate into anything substantial at Telstra's end volume wise.
Frankly, I don't see the point of live sentry view. Watching recorded footage from remote after a sentry trigger however would be very useful, but I don't think it does that.
Makes me wonder whose sterquilinium these ideas are growing on...

But we can currently watch Netflix, etc. I often see people doing that while charging their cars.
Something I saw in one of Bjorn’s videos was that a BMW EV with a similar remote-viewing feature has a limit on the number of minutes and/or sessions of remote viewing from a car per day.
I would like the feature mainly so I could do remote deletion of all the sentry events I end up with when parked at the beach every morning. The current in-car UI is quite cumbersome for me for deleting 20-50 events at a time.

I do not believe the BW usage will be an issue. Considering the number of Teslas in Australia, I doubt that feature will have any effect on Telstra LTE network BW usage. When it drops, the first week people will be trying it out and it will skew usage data a bit, but then it will become just part of the functionality and probably used on rare occasions when you want to show it off to someone or check what is happening if an alarm is triggered.
In 2 years my car has had alarm trigger only once and that was caused by lightning strike/thunder during storm when all cars in the carpark had their alarms trigger at same time.
Its like the fart mode. When I got the car, me and my son played with it for the first week and since then probably looked at it 2-3 times a year when showing it to someone.

Has anyone picked up any differences with British English and US English in 2021.40.6? I noticed Frunk and Trunk have been replaced with Bonnet and Boot, haven't had anything else stand out as yet.
Also disappointing that we never got Disney+ in Theatre when that become available in the US.

That sucks. I thought I read about people overseas mentioning British English would help with that, maybe they were just being hopeful.
Has anyone noticed stuttering in the road visualisation recently?
I have a 2018 Model X that was originally MCU1 that was upgraded to MCU2 early this year and came with a free upgrade of the AutoPilot/FSD computer. Was a huge upgrade from MCU1 but recently I've noticed it the visualisation would often start stuttering - hangs on one frame for 1/3-1/2 every couple of seconds. If I have the rear camera display on, the same happens with the camera feed.
Network capacity would not be the issue here. It would be cost… or more precisely, cost recovery.
I don’t have any inside info, but the $10/mth Tesla charges for cellular connectivity would be based on an annual data consumption per vehicle assumption, and that is presumably baked in to the contract with Telstra (as the network provider). There may even be contractual clauses that ping Tesla for additional payments if those estimates are undercooked.
If it turns out that over time feature creep results in more data being generated or consumed than what Tesla has forecast, then Tesla would either have to absorb the extra costs, or pass it on, and increase the price of Premium connectivity.
