What do you hear about Homelink capability being stopped? I need the 3 channels that MyQ does not have.

[@SocraticBruin]

Easy decision for $99/yr. Good reasons that you cited. Only thing I would add is thinking of premium connectivity as an insurance plan to your phone connection. In the event that there is an issue with my connection, I could likely use the browser or whatever else I might need using the car. Lastly, I have unlimited data plan on my phone that throttles after a certain amount of data per month has been exceeded, which premium connectivity helps avoid. Thanks for the video.

[@darkwolfx333]

Wait… blutooth is very compressed and in no way can have better audio quality than native from the native app on the car.

[@fishing_life_ca]

and actually it is better... much more better.

[@JremiahJones]

From my understanding (not an audiophile) your tesla supports AAC-LC on Bluetooth and will have quality close to lossless assuming your source has AAC-LC support and a high quality codec, e.g. iPhones. There was also some information (I believe put out by Tesla themselves) when the Model 3 launched that said when paired to the Model 3, an iPhone chooses the following codec for Bluetooth streaming: MPEG2 AAC LC Stereo, 44.1khz, variable bitrate @ 256kbps peak. Also, Spotify (unsure about Apple Music) is only 96kbps. Some people say in car apps sounds better, some say bluetooth. Then again we are talking in car audio.

I did not sign up for the Premium Connectivity after my purchase trial period ended in 2023. I asked the sales person does the radio work without it, and they said yes. So, I just listen to the WBBM news channel 105.9 while driving. I do notice when my Tesla is in my home garage and connected to my WIF for getting new updates, many of the premium features work. I don't need this feature for the short around town daily driving, and I do not use the public charging stations or do long trips, I charge up at home in the evenings.

[@user-ii4lm3ur4j]

Premium connectivity all the way. On a trip right now and I am seeing speed cameras and average speed cameras in my area on the daily. It has saved me from more than a few speeding tickets already in just a few days. Additionally, the car connection is way better than what my phone gets, big difference. In my garage at home, my phone does not get a signal, but the car does.... Long story short, it is a no brainer for me, premium connectivity is a great deal IMHO.

[@ozone7]

Just stop speeding! It's illegal and dangerous.

[@user-ii4lm3ur4j]

[@ivoopletal203]

Great and very much appreciate the automatic Hotspot connection. Tested and works really reliably but as we know, Tesla is a data guzzler. If you drive abroad (in Europe) it is better and probably cheaper to subscribe to Premium connectivity.

[@shannonlawhorn1674]

One thing about Premium connectivity, if you are under navigation and there is a traffic jam along your route, navigation will reroute around the traffic if a detour is available. My model X tried to route me around a road closure due to accident. I unfortunatly over rode the car trying to exit the highway and was rewarded with a 2 hour stoppage for my hubris.

My premium connectivity free trial ends mid of this month. Not being able to view the live camera seems like a deal breaker to me. But I'm planning to allow myself a few weeks without premium to see how that really affects my lifestyle/driving etc and then make the call. I park in my closed garage so don't have to worry about viewing the live camera majority of the time. I'm hoping to treat premium connectivity just like FSD subscription. When I have a trip planned, I'll subscribe to both for a month for ~$110 and not have to worry about paying so much more upfront when I may not utilize to its full potential.

[@TheTekSone]

I felt this way also, but when my trial ended...next day I paid for a year subscription. Divide the total year by 365 days, less than a lollipop. This is my experience without connectivity and no one else's. The ugly gray/white nav screen, yuck! I live outside of Las Vegas and I NEED my Live Traffic Visualization and Satellite-View Maps without having to have nav open on phone to see it. Sentry Mode live camera is not for inside my garage (I have HOME excluded) but everywhere else...like parking lots and parking on the street. How many cars get hit by another backing up or dinged by a door in parking lots? How many times have people side swiped another car parked on a street...and did not bother to leave their info? I could use my phone as a hotspot for Video Streaming, Internet Browser and Music Streaming...but why run your phone battery down and plus it gets hot sometimes. Caraoke was not a deciding factor for anything. $10 a month ($120) or get 2 months free with yearly subscription ($99). At first I thought FSD subscription would be an off and on thing. Nope! Got my Tesla in December 2023 with 3 months of FSD expiring at the end of March. Then Tesla hit us with the free month of April, 4 months straight of FSD for free?! Decided I wanted to keep it. FSD helps my Tesla score stay high since I transferred to Tesla Insurance. Yes it is a monthly trade-off of $100 (my coverage was $165 for my Tesla w/Geico), but with FSD my safety score stays at 100% making my premium $62 a month. Now I have GAP insurance included where as Geico was $165 monthly and did not offer GAP! Lord forbid the area came with bad phone reception but the car would get great reception. At least I could get an email out from the browser. For some people, FSD and Premium Connectivity is a win! Good luck with making your analysis when yours expires. Would love to hear which way you voted. EDIT: Make sure you have an unlimited phone data plan and see when throttling kicks in

[@sinharakshit]

@@TheTekSone Thanks for sharing your elaborate experience. I agree about having the recording for when the car is parked anywhere else besides home. But if I'm not mistaken, you can still have the sentry mode enabled without the live camera view, right? When I go back to the car I can always view the occurrence of incidents, if any. In fact, if someone were to ding my car while I'm away, even if I had the ability to view it live, I may not be able to do anything about it, unless I was able to quickly capture their number plate and run to the police station with that info immediately. Regarding FSD, wow, I didn't know that using Tesla insurance gives you ratings for using FSD. That's pretty neat to keep your cost down while having your car drive for you (at a cost). Since I don't have Tesla insurance my requirements differ, but this is good info to know.

[@TheTekSone]

@@sinharakshit You are welcome. Yes, you can still have the sentry mode enabled without the live camera view. It depends on how you feel about live view. I like it because it will notify you and you can look to see what is going on. Maybe someone is breaking into the car. I rather see what is going on at the minute the notification goes off instead of waiting to see when I get back to my car what has happened. Maybe someone is leaning on the car or breaking windows. Sometimes you can thwart what is happening, sometimes you cannot. But I am not the one to wait and see. Regarding FSD, no that is not what I mean. I am saying I use FSD to keep my score high. By using FSD it will keep you from having forward collision warnings, hard braking, aggressive turning, following too closely, and forced autopilot disengagements. These are the things Tesla Insurance uses (grades you on) to dictate your monthly premiums. You do not have to have FSD when you have Tesla Insurance.

[@greghudson9717]

I didn't bother with premium connectivity initially, and let it expire after the 30 day trial. I used it for nearly a year, and didn't miss it, until I heard about some of the latest features, so I paid the yearly fee (AU$99) and use some of the features regularly. Well worth the money IMO.

[@TheTekSone]

@@greghudson9717 I agree wholeheartedly 👍🏾

[@CzyTV]

Great IF WILL ONLY WORK! Got premium connectivity that all of a sudden stopped working. It’s been 3 weeks and Tesla scheduled a service center appt. Til then, no connectivity, bluetooth not connecting either, not connecting to wifi hotspot. We’re in SoCal. Who else experiencing this?

[@kylekiniry6298]

Great video. Game changer for me, not having to manually hotspot etc. appreciate the information 👍🏽

[@theElemDragon]

The only thing that sucks is just like with FSD, you can't transfer your premium connectivity to another car. Bought my 2023 Model Y Long Range a year and almost 2 months ago. Just traded that in when i picked up my 2024 Model 3 Performance this afternoon. Guess what auto-renewed last month.....

[@phat_gunpla_etc]

the traffic is not accurate...ie. sometimes the red comes on the screen too late to reroute or its red for nothing

[@govspy8780]

I noticed that too when I had it, it would show a red line at a light and there would only be like 2 cars

[@JohnPaulHales]

I run google maps on the iPhone and premium connectivity navigation on the car. The traffic indicators are sometimes completely different, so I don’t understand how they are both sourced from google.

[@jeremi84]

I have been told the map on a Tesla uses Google map behind the scene, if that’s the case are they charging us to get something that is supposed to be free? I.e. live traffic.

[@kirivanyam5969]

Premium connectivity should have FSD graphics with full screen enabled.

[@joegibbs2508]

It does seem pretty ridiculous to have a nice Tesla with all these fantastic features, and then worry about spending $100 a year. Only to limit the experience. Totally chump change, and well worth it!

[@hakis86]

Surely Bluetooth is WORSE audio quality than streaming with built in apps? Even saw a video on YT where the reviewer compares audiosystems of EVs, and the Bluetooth codec on the refreshed Model3 was kind of nerfed.

[@JohnPaulHales]

No, the Spotify in car app with premium connectivity is awful. Try playing the same song from the HIFI version of Tidal Bluetoothed to the car. The difference is surprising

[@mrexcet]

I'm thinking the same as you Jeremiah. Premium Connectivity is totally worth every penny. I don't use any of those gaming things or the Karaoke but to see a clear map with actual buildings are invaluable when travelling outside cities to small places out in "the bush". Usually houses don't have addresses here in Sweden, it's just called a postbox number. So to be able taking up the house on the map and give it a long press to navigate there are priceless. Even to see traffic jams in advance. Just yesterday I avoided to go on the highway in my town thanks to the map warning me for a stop. It was a vehicle caught fire on the highway and the road was totally jammed with cars mile after mile. I took a detour inside town and that saved me for sure some hours in traffic. So for me too the Premium choice is a no brainer. And thanks for a very good video, take care.
