I thought there was a source with crowd sources update file sized. I can't find reference to it.
The advice for those of us without wifi at home to just use a phone hotspot could work unless one has limited data on one's phone. I've updated from 250MB to 5GB and since, even with data on 100% of the time, I only use 1- 2GB per ;month, I have room to do some downloads but I don't know which ones since tesla refuses to tell me the size of the file. NAV files are large and definitely over my limit. But others aren't as large and I could hotspot at the end of the month if I was assured it wouldn't waste my time and data by pushing me to my limit so I'd have to abort to avoid overage charges.
To clarify: I'm cheap so will not be changing my cell plan. I have a tesla to avoid gas charges. That meant I had to walk away from a grandfathered plan of $15 to $30 in order to get data for road trips and use other charging networks. I have premium connectivity so my husband, still on the old plan, has access to music and the pretty maps in the car. In Canada cell data is expensive especially when using a provider that works across vast swaths of the country (even so, I don't have LTE on parts of my drive to my son's home, just 75km from the centre of the nation's capital.) So I'm too cheap to pay for a fancy plan with lots of data when I only need data when there are updates I want.
All I need to know is how large the files are before I start a download but apparently that's too much to ask of tesla. So I'm asking the community if they know of a source.
