Cellular provider

[Ampere]

I vaguely remember this being discussed a long time ago. In the recent update thread, many users referred to positioning the car for the best AT&T cellular signal. We've acknowledged that AT&T is built into the car for updates and entertainment. At some point, Lucid will begin charging for this service. My question is: can the cell provider ultimately be changed? Does it use a SIM card or esim? Would users have the right/ability to change the cell provider for the car to T-Mobile or Verizon? I don't look forward to paying for two separate cell subscriptions, one for my phones and the other for my car. I've used AT&T and I much prefer T-Mobile.

Not sure this is the right question. All our other cars had cellular service for updates and core function. None have ever charged a fee for this service. Only for add ons like hot spot in your car, etc. also never heard of an auto manufacturer giving an owner a choice of service.

Th question is legitimate. There is a clear statement in the purchase agreement that leaves the door open for charging a fee for the cell service after the first year. It may not come to pass, however, the company has that option.

I have 2 cars with similar service that have a sim card slot, and you can swap any sim you like. Agree, the basic functionality is included. But for reasons of service, you can change it. For me, AT&T has poor service around where I live. I have already noticed that things like Tidal fail often because of it.
