Nice, I'm guessing maps load much faster?I did it on my S85. I'm a complete tech geek, so I did notice a significant speed difference. To me, totally worth the $500. (I'm in socal too)
Make sure you call them in advance to tell them you want to have it done during your appointmentI will do it when my car is in for the annual in March.
Yes. Everything that goes over the air works faster.Nice, I'm guessing maps load much faster?
I highly recommend AGAINST it! Basically my car has been useless since I "upgraded" to LTE.
In the first 10 months of ownership (using 3G) I think my internet music stopped playing 3 times and a GPS map tile would fail to load at a frequency of every week or two.
Now that I "upgraded" to LTE the car is useless. In the morning it takes 10 minutes for the LTE modem to find service. This is not an exaggeration. I literally watch the trip computer and wait for 10 minutes. So now most days when I need to use GPS to get to an appointment I just drive my Ford). Once the Tesla finds LTE service, the map tiles will fail to load a handful of times per trip. Also I switched back to FM radio because the Internet radio frequently stops in the middle of a song, or the car will simply just stop playing music displaying a "cannot load next track" error.
BTW all of this happens with 2 to 4 bars of LTE service. This is in the Washington DC / Annapolis MD areas, which has had LTE service for 5 years. And yes I do have my energy / always connected settings set correctly. This behavior happens not just my first drive of the day but subsequent trips as well, although subsequent trips can find LTE service in as quickly as 4 minutes.
So unless you want to spend $500 to make your car useless, I would tell you to stick to 3G. After all does it really matter how quick the map tiles load and the radio buffer fills? Stick with reliability and usability.
I just read your post after making mine. My experience is like yours.I highly recommend AGAINST it! Basically my car has been useless since I "upgraded" to LTE.

You understand that's not the way it's supposed to operate, right? Why not go and get it fixed?
why not use your phones gps?I highly recommend AGAINST it! Basically my car has been useless since I "upgraded" to LTE.
