I have a LR RWD and also got this email. Unless you were one of the ones that got it as a perk, I think it is going to apply to all configurations. I got my car September 2018 so I've gotten well over 12 months of free Premium Connectivity. Been waiting for them to figure this out and knew it was coming at some point.
Yep, looks like premium interior’s will get 12 months free before having to subscribe...
WiFi is disabled when I drive anyway unless they changed it recently.Just got this too. They went out of their way to imply that music streaming might not work with a customer provided Hotspot. They don't say it won't work, but carefully avoided saying that it might work.
Since my "premium connectivity" seems to be provided by some third tier provider (dead spots everywhere, compared to my Verizon phone) I think I'll take my chances on the Hotspot. It'll be more reliable than paying 10 per month for this not so "premium" option.

I seem to recall that today video streaming requires wifi connection. Does this comparison table mean that you can do netflix through LTE if you are a paying subscriber?
I’ve had these features since V10 minus live traffic visualization and satellite maps. Wish they’d just push those last two ahead of the renewal since I subscribed.
Time to deleteI beat you by about 4 minutes with my post, lol! Odd time for Tesla to be sending these out (on a weekend no less, guess they’re not worried about bugs in the billing system...)
I’m too lazy to go check the car right now (and the garage is way too cold!) but I’m curious if satellite view is working now... or if the switch will be “turned on” sometime this weekend. I went ahead and subscribed too and it notes my first bill will be January 8th, but I should have a free trial till then...
It had been speculated that to keep our premium connectivity package Tesla would charge $100 a year. But, I got an email from them saying they want $9.99 a month ($119.88 a year). This kind of rubs me the wrong way, especially since I paid a premium for my AWD LR Model 3. Some might say the almost $20 more a year isn't that much. Maybe, but remember that subscription based anything, always ends up with increases every year. And part of the reason I bought a Tesla, was to lower my overall cost to drive.
