TESLA MODEL 3 PREMIUM CONNECTIVITY UPGRADE AUSTRALIA PART 3

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed breakdown of Tesla's Premium Connectivity subscription in Australia, clarifying recent changes and addressing owner concerns. The host, Tesla Tom, meticulously navigates the FAQ page, highlighting the subscription cost of A$9.99 per month and the crucial cutoff date of June 30, 2019, for lifetime premium connectivity on Model S, Model X, and Model 3 with premium interiors (essentially performance and long-range variants). A key takeaway is the distinction between new orders, inventory purchases, and used vehicles, each with varying trial periods (one year for new premium models, 30 days for SR+ and most used/inventory cars). While praising Tesla for extending the lifetime connectivity cutoff date, Tom points out the persistent ambiguity in Tesla's wording, particularly concerning the 'all cars' clause, which often excludes the Model 3 SR+. The review emphasizes that standard connectivity still offers essential features like navigation and over-the-air updates via Wi-Fi. Premium connectivity unlocks features like live traffic visualization and satellite maps over cellular. The video concludes by advising viewers to rely on the specific tables provided in the FAQ for clarity, especially regarding trial periods and lifetime eligibility, and encourages engagement for further clarification.
