  • In my country I get 150 gb of 5G data for 5.99 a month, so the Tesla premium connectivity subscription is not worth at all

    I already pay for almost unlimited data, and I have a 8 core with 16gb of RAM in my pocket, with all my information on it: the best option is to just mirror my device and let me use my preferred navigation system or use alternative music apps like Tempo.

    It’s inefficient to have a Ryzen class computer in the car just because otherwise the mothership can’t monetize the infotainment



  • It connects to your phone in the sense that you can:

    • Make phone calls
    • Receive and send texts (no Whatsapp/signal/telegram or any other kind of app based messaging)
    • Listen to audio, if you manually start the playback on the phone
    • Use your phone hotspot to stream from the built-in Spotify or other streaming services, if you don’t want to pay a $120/year subscription

    But it can’t do basic mirroring like most cars on the market can do.

    In this way, if you want to have traffic info or speed camera alerts, you’re forced to pay for Tesla premium subscription, as there’s no other way to show a third party navigation app on the big screen (except ugly hacks like using the web browser for navigation, which is a safety hazard)
