That's not accurate. You don't need to upgrade the MCU/infotainment computer and the retrofit is only $200.
"A source has informed me that due to AT&T shutting down its 3G network by Feb 2022, Model S's without an LTE-capable modem will lose connectivity features unless connected to WiFi. HOWEVER, Tesla will offer retrofits for $200. Affected vehicles are pre June 2015."
"Tesla will be offering retrofits for these vehicles for a bargain price of only $200, even though the vehicles affected by this could be up to nine years old."

- ssheth 5y agoSee https://www.tesla.com/support/update-3g-services https://www.tesla.com/support/update-3g-services They're going to upgrade the modems to LTE for $200 each.
- chasil 5y agoI really appreciate my 2011 Civic's lack of a cellular modem.
- fogihujy 5y agoDitto with our 2003 Citroën. This always online paradigm will cause more and more problems down the road, as the first IoT generations lose Internet access.
- brianwawok 5y agoDo you? Because when it's -10F here, I can remote start my car, even if outside remote start range. Rather nice to always have a toasty car (or cool in summer).
- brianwawok 5y agoOkay that's good. Last I heard was that they stopped doing daughter board upgrades, and you had to swap your entire computer. Things like this tend to change pretty fast/often in Tesla land, so can't always keep up. (Also don't have a 2014 Model S so doesn't impact me personally)
