Tesla cars with Starlink internet
Like any major billionaire founding announcement SpaceXconfirmation that this novelty will be available in your company’s electric vehicles was carried out through twitter. Musk limited himself to answering “yes” to a user who asked if the news would reach subscribers of the service.”Premium Connection”.
Unfortunately, the founder of the company did not even mention in his twitter and not in case starlink how it will work and what will be the data transfer limit that vehicle owners Tesla will have online. During the presentation musk stated that the network starlink via cellular signal will offer a network with a speed of 2 to 4 Mbpswhat will be the limit shared by all users in that satellite’s coverage area.

O edge indicates that this speed will not be enough for some functions to work offered by the company as part of the Premium Connection service, such as the live streaming feature from the car’s cameras. However, the portal notes that a network that works “wherever there is a view of the sky” is better than no network at all.
Old cars need to be upgraded
Initially, the manufacturer offered consumers a premium connectivity plan for all users, but as of June 2018, models only ship with the company’s standard plan, which only works for maps and the navigation system. To access the Premium Connectivity plan, owners of company vehicles need to pay for subscription $9.99 per month or $99 per year.
In addition, vehicles manufactured prior to mid-2015 will need to undergo a $200 upgrade to access connectivity services. This is because these models only support the 3G network, which is disabled in the US, and will have to purchase a new LTE modem.
