NEW TESLA PAID FEATURES! WORTH IT OR RIPOFF?

EV Channels Review

This video delves into Tesla's various paid upgrades, evaluating their worth for owners. Premium Connectivity is highlighted as essential for core features like satellite maps and media streaming, though its $10/month cost can feel punitive. Acceleration Boost is presented as a worthwhile software upgrade for dual-motor Model 3/Y vehicles, enhancing 0-60 times for around $2,000. The possibility of unlocking range on older Teslas (pre-2020) by paying a few thousand dollars is mentioned, but it's noted as a less common, older feature. Full Self-Driving (FSD) is discussed, with the reviewer emphasizing the subscription option ($99/month) as a more flexible alternative to the $8,000 purchase. FSD features like Autopark and Smart Summon are demonstrated, with the reviewer noting FSD's impressive technology but occasional odd decision-making. The video also critiques Tesla's own accessories, particularly floor mats, recommending third-party options like 3W Liners for better quality and value. The Wall Connector is deemed an aesthetic upgrade rather than a necessity. Overall, the reviewer guides viewers on which paid features offer tangible benefits versus those that are less essential or overpriced.
