Using your Tesla

Premium Connectivity explained

Checked 2 October 2026.

Teslas come with Standard Connectivity, which covers the basics. Premium Connectivity is a paid monthly subscription that adds more features over the car's mobile connection.

What Premium Connectivity typically adds

  • Live traffic visualisation on the map.
  • Satellite-view maps.
  • Video streaming (Theatre) and music streaming over mobile data.
  • Internet browser.
  • Live camera view from the app (for Sentry Mode).

Exact features and the price are in the Tesla app and on Tesla's UK website, and can change.

Is it worth it?

  • Yes, if you stream music in the car, use satellite maps, or want to check your car's cameras remotely.
  • Maybe not, if you mostly use your phone for music through Bluetooth and park at home on Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi works anyway

Without Premium Connectivity, the car can still use Wi-Fi (home or phone hotspot) for streaming and updates.
