My car has its own lte connection. If I would prefer to not pay the $10 per month I can use my cell connection as a hotspot.  There is local cell provider to worry about for consumers. 
The Tesla system is built to eventually use Star Link , of course. 
‘Car makers are wiser with their negotiating- priceless’. Which is why they going bankrupt vs how is Tesla doing?  Reality needs to be taken into account now and then.
