Tesla’s Premium Connectivity subscription is getting a notable trim. Starting December 1, 2024, Will no longer include LiveOne’s Slacker Radio as part of the package. This move marks a shift in Tesla’s in-car entertainment offerings, potentially impacting how drivers consume music on the road.
For most Tesla owners, this change means bidding farewell to free access to Slacker Radio through their vehicle’s infotainment system. To continue using the service, drivers will need to purchase a separate LiveOne subscription. It’s a tweak that might hit some wallets, especially for those accustomed to the all-in-one convenience of Tesla’s Premium Connectivity.
There’s a silver lining for some Tesla drivers. Those fortunate enough to have secured free lifetime Premium Connectivity won’t feel the pinch of this change. These select owners will continue to enjoy LiveOne’s Slacker Radio without additional costs.
This isn’t an isolated incident in Tesla’s ecosystem. Similar changes have occurred in other regions, with Spotify facing removal from the Premium Connectivity package in New Zealand and Australia. It raises questions about the future of bundled services in Tesla vehicles worldwide.
Wondering if you’re among the lifetime Premium Connectivity group? A quick way to check is by looking at your monthly charges. If you’re currently paying $10 per month for Premium Connectivity, you’re not part of the lifetime free group.
As Tesla tunes out Slacker Radio from its Premium package, owners might need to reassess their in-car entertainment options. Will this change strike a chord with Tesla’s customer base, or will it fall flat?
