New customers of any Tesla model, including Model S, Model 3, Model X, or Model Y, in the last week. they will not receive a free lifetime standard connection package.
new buyers will receive a standard connection package for 8 years. After that time, they will have to upgrade to a Premium Connectivity subscription to be able to use maps, navigation, voice commands and more, according to their own website.
Teslarati spotted a change in the “Connection” section of the Tesla support page and makes it clear that once this standard lifetime connection expires, we leave you translated:
“All new Tesla vehicles ordered on or before July 20, 2022 will have free standard connectivity features for the life of the vehicle… plus the possibility of additional features and services available in the future when you upgrade your connectivity plan”
On the same page he explains new limit for 8 years of free standard connection:”It will start on the day the vehicle is delivered to you by Tesla or on the first day it is put into service mode, whichever comes first. If you are buying a used car, you will be notified how much time is left on the standard connection.“.
At the moment, Tesla does not comment on the price of the standard connection after 8 years and the possibility of continuing to use this connection.
Otherwise, users will be forced to go to premium subscription 9.99 euros per month and includes: navigation, real-time traffic, satellite maps and sentinel mode, in addition to some additional entertainment modes.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen Tesla are regular in terms of options offered with their cars and we remember that with their first cars they offered unlimited lifetime charging in their superchargers.
