I was wrong. IT’s not an Internet connection. It’s a cellphone connection.
“Tesla cars have prepaid cellular connections for mapping/navigation, voice recognition, bug reporting, software updates and entertainment (including streaming audio with different services depending on the region and a web browser). The car also provides telemetry data to Tesla to help it improve Autopilot and maps.”
“I was wrong. IT’s not an Internet connection. It’s a cellphone connection.”
Give up. You are only digging deeper. The cellphone connection is the internet connection and they run funevif there is no connection.
As I said, there is NO phone service in these areas I spoke of either.
Teslas will communicate when they can, but they do not REQUIRE a cellphone signal to run, otherwise there would be a LOT of dead teslas by the side of most mountain roads.
