I have it for satellite view, traffic coloring and slacker. However I don’t drive much anymore either. I’ll probably just sell the whole car eventually as my whole work is going remote forever.
As @UncleCreepy mentioned, as soon as you shift from Park gear, wifi is automatically turned off but you can then still able to click on the LTE icon to switch to your wifi hotspot manually.
You still cannot enjoy:
1) Live Traffic-Visualization
2) Satelite-view maps
But you can still enjoy others such as web browser.
Yes because it is only $120 a year and far more convenient than trying to tie into my phone each time I get in the car. I’ve been working from home but going out for drives has been my refuge from quarantine.
For me it's worth it. I only use it for streaming music. The rest is icing on the cake. In my previous car I used sirius radio. Since it's not available I might as well give Tesla a few bucks a month to do it and enjoy the extras.
I have my phone setup to auto On Hotspot when connected to the car's BT, but still a pain to turn On wifi in the car while the car is in motion. I wish there was a option to switch to WiFi when I go into D or R.
its worth it in australia because our signal is so *sugar* you struggle to stream from your phone whereas the car has very strong antennas.
the sattelite view is cool but gimmicky and tbh at night you dont even use it.
it seems to mainly a lazy switch for ppl who dont want to set up tether every time.
i dont really think its currently worth it unless it would be bunled with a spotify premium account.
I got it for the traffic when doing a long trip and just kept it (lazy I guess). Have driven to Idaho and to Austin Tx from Los Angeles area, and enjoyed it. We took the wife's RDX to Austin this last time and it saved us hours in driving and we were able to choose a better route. Lane keep assist was better than nothing in the RDX, but not nearly as good as the Tesla's.
Well it is cheap so decided to keep it for traffic and streaming media. It makes it convenient and I do not want to be setting up a hotspot everytime I drive the car.
