Tesla has made a significant decision affecting its users in Turkey. The company has implemented a record 133% increase in the monthly subscription fee for its Premium Connect service, which offers in-car internet and advanced entertainment features. This increase has drawn attention, contrasting with Tesla’s recently announced Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) discount.
Tesla Turkey raises price from 150 TL to 350 TL
With this sudden increase, the Premium Connect fee, previously 150 TL per month, has been raised to 350 TL per month, effective today. This represents a significant increase in Tesla owners’ monthly operating costs.
Tesla’s price hike is noteworthy because the company recently announced a 50% discount on Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) for all Tesla owners. While making the advanced driving assistance feature more accessible, the company’s price hike for connectivity services has caused surprise among users.
What are the differences between Premium Connectivity and Standard Connectivity?
Tesla offers Standard Connectivity for eight years from the delivery date of all its vehicles. So, what are the key differences between these two packages?
Standard Connectivity (Free):
