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

    I just wanted to point out that it's not insane, like some of GM's OnStar plans for example, the cheapest of which is 9.99 a month.

    Should cars have subscriptions? Fuck no, but I was only trying to post facts, not opinions, in that comment.
