Tesla to begin charging for basic connectivity services after eight years
makes some of the most advanced and tech-rich vehicles today, but that functionality comes at a cost. The automaker’s vehicles are expensive, and to maintain the technology over time, some buyers pay a monthly subscription to access certain services. Tesla offered a basic connectivity service for free, but. The automaker will offer free Standard Connectivity for the first eight years of ownership and will begin charging a subscription fee after that.
July 20, 2022, was the cutoff date for free lifetime connectivity. Buyers now have eight years of service from the date of purchase and then must pay a monthly or annual subscription fee. Standard service is the lower of two connectivity tiers that Tesla offers. It includes navigation but lacks live traffic, video streaming, and other features from the Premium tier, which already costs $99 per year. Most people upgrade to the Premium features, so this won’t be a massive change for many buyers.
