the time has come
since 1,5years the connectivity for the car was free, now you need to pay it
120€/yr
let's see what we can and what we can't do with this new update
if the fre trial is ending you will get this e-mail that explain exactly what will happen
the first question is, should i buy it orn i shouldn't?
this question looks stupid but everyone in tesla told me that i haven't got to pay becouse the performance should have it forever
every tesla car that has been delivered after 1 july 2018 will get this e-mail, the one before the first of july will get the premium forever
thsi has no sense in europe becouse the first of july we weren't neither talking about model 3, i ordered my model 3 at december of 2018
so, now i know who should pay and who should not
let's see what changes from the standard and the premium, ( remember that every tesla have the WiFi )
some times ago i showed you how to make a little hotspot for the car with the raspberry pi
the things that you can't have with the standard connectivity are traffic in real time, satellitar map and spotify premium
i never use the satellite map, i don't like it, the real time traffic, if there isn't i can stay without
p.s. when you plan a trip the system will calculate the traffic too, eaven if you have the standard connectivity
so, it's only for the little lines red and orange on the car
Spotify, ok, meybe this is important
you can listen to music and also to the spots like arisa do on the atoto s8 pro
but, apotify costs 10€/month and also tesla but they aren't the same thing becouse the spotify that you will get on the premium connectivity work only in the car
i also asked tesla what this phrase is " premium connectivity is required to stream multimedia content and music in the car via mobile phone
 "
it looks like that i can't hear to anything via the bluetooth of the car
tesla said me that this phrase is for the mobile network of the car, they also told me that they will change it
if you have premium or standard connectivity you will need to have the wifi connection where you park the car to download software updates
every time that i shift gear from the car the wifi will switch off
every time we need to switch it back on !
i also tweeted this, if you have twitter please retweet it
if we use a lot netflix etc.. tesla can slow down our connection speed
i hope there will be a lot of gigabytes
i think also that for who choose to get the standard should get android auto and apple car play
if you will have connection problems in youw zone tesla will not do anything, the carryer will be responsable
if you already had a tesla you had some times to test ita and you can choose if getting or not the premium
No Refound Aviable. you can choose every moment to disable the premium but you will have it untill the end of the month
if you will buy any version of long range and performance tesla you will get one year of premium connectivity trial and if you buy standard range/standard range plus you will get only 30days
it's not strange that tesla will charge for the connectivity, also other brands will charge you
sorry guys was a little too long but i hope that i halped you choosing if upgrade or not to premium connectivity
would you upgrade? write it in the comment
