Part 2/10:
Tesla is making significant strides by upgrading their vehicles’ connectivity features from 4G LTE to a new 5G capable modem, the Telematics Control Unit (TCU) Gen 2. The transition promises notable improvements in data transmission speeds, potentially reaching up to 1 gigabit per second compared to the previous modem's 20 to 100 megabits per second. While this upgrade benefits urban areas with dense 5G coverage, it also reflects Tesla's intentions to future-proof its vehicles, particularly in relation to the upcoming Robo Taxi initiative.
