You don't need premium data for online maps. Premium data is for sat maps, music and live camera views. Also at $10 per month it's actually quite cheap.

Which is $10 per customer per month more than they’d get if everyone was using CarPlay / Android Auto.
It’s been proven time and time again that vertical integration is a massive money earner and you can bet that if Tesla were to release a smartphone then support for that in their cars would be a software update that follows immediately after. But since there’s no plans for a phone, the next best thing is a subscription-based infotainment system.
Can carplay live stream video from hyundai’s cameras..?
We are talking about mapping and music. Not parking sensors

You mean that feature I've never used?
I pay for premium data only because of Spotify and live traffic. Which I wouldn't have to do if it had CarPlay.

Are you saying you can't listen to music in a Tesla without a subscription?
Bluetooth, radio, usb and using your phones hotspot is still an option (tho unrealistic given how shit iOS hotspot is)

I'm saying I can't get live traffic on my Tesla maps without a subscription.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be a profit centre, at the moment anyway.

It's also for live traffic.
