Fiver a month then. All services. The end.

To add in a sub post purchase for hardware that's already in the car? Get in the bin.

You literally just bought a Tesla that has a £10/month sub for premium connectivity and a £99/month sub for FSD (that you can't have).

To play devils advocate, connected services do have an ongoing cost to provide the service and maintain it.

The alternative is they could not bother and your car have no remote features at all.

I understand paying for some features, I pay for the Tesla Connectivity, but assuming you're able to connect to your car over WIFI/Bluetooth range it seems criminal locking being able to preheat the car behind a pay wall. Assuming you can't set a preheat schedule?

They do in their current form... but do they really need to?

There's no technical reason that the car couldn't:

a) Have a SIM slot which allows a user to provide their own connection
and/or
b) Use WIFI to allow a direct connection (I'd guess that the vast majority of remote connections are done when the car is parked at home).

Vaginal flatulence.

I’d pay for that.

Yeah but I know beforehand and I'm fine with it. If they chop out the heated seats during ownership and tell me I have to pay, I'll lose me ****.
