Tesla made a change to its free data connectivity tier that could potentially have a big impact on the way its customers use their vehicles. The included Standard Connectivity package, which adds basic navigation features without live traffic views or satellite maps and the ability to stream music over Bluetooth, will now expire after eight years (via Electrek<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Eight years is still a significant duration of time to have the included navigation and Bluetooth features, but it\u2019s just one lessened note for potential buyers. In a time when car companies are looking for more revenue streams by imposing subscription fees<\/a> to use already included features (looking at you, BMW<\/a>), Tesla\u2019s move to impose a time limit on data usage certainly weakens the overall customer experience. <\/p>\n

Other companies are a bit more nuanced in the services they offer. For instance, BMWs have maps that can be upgraded after three years for a fee, and BMW\u2019s more premium navigation features (and auto high beams<\/a>) are locked behind a ConnectedDrive subscription that costs $50 a year. And if you want satellite maps in an Audi, you\u2019ll be paying $84.99 a month<\/a> for its premium MMI Navigation Plus service.<\/p>\n
