To have to pay $10 to have internet automatically connect to the car is negatively impacting my perception of the Tesla brand.
I absolutely love everyting about my car except that every time I get in it I have to press buttons to connect to my phones hotspot. Not to mention having to answer tech support calls from my wife every tgime she gets in it.
The amount of money for the service doesn't bother me, what bothers me is the fact that what should be a seamless operation is purposely hobbled to force users who want simplicity and already have access to a service on their phone to pay an extra monthly fee. It makes me feel a bit gross inside if I am to be honest. A profile should automatically connect to the phone hotspot when its detected.
So instead of adding a laziness tax that makes users feel crap, here is an idea, add something that is valuable that makes the $10 per month worth paying. Access to other mapping systems for example. Access to Waze or Google Maps I would understand paying a monthly fee for, or what about an automatic log booking system for business users, or maybe customisable layouts of the dashboard. I would pay good money for all of these.
