2024 Hotspot

[GMPM5754]

Some 2024 window stickers are popping up, I noticed that there is no wi-fi delete and on the window sticker it shows the following:
Activate 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot, does this mean it is available on the 2024 models?

That is what my windows sticker says. Thanks for pointing that out.

No problem.

That was something I was actually wanting and was bummed out when they started deleting it . Maybe it is back. One can hope.

People actually pay at&t for that

The feature was entirely deleted according to the order guide so there's no line item/refund for a delete. And the hotspot blurb is boilerplate; it was showing up on '23s even with the delete.

Of coarse how else are you going to get speeds "up to" 100G-Infinity-Plus-CHS. You know you want it, you can tell your friends your truck has CHS. Complete Horse S....tuff internet!

Yep.

I never found a reason to have the Ford built-in HotSpot.
Especially at the monthly cost of $25.

I can enable the HotSpot on my Motorola phone if others in my vehicle need Wi-Fi access.

Most, if not all, Mobile plans have a limit on hotspot data. Mine is 5gb, then it slows to an unusable 512 kilobytes a second.
Video streaming uses a lot of data.
Ford ATT plan is unlimited(possibility of being subject to deprioritization after 22 GB.)

Only reason I could see to maybe activate it for the month is if you're going camping or vacationing somewhere, especially somewhere where your mobile provider might not get good signal, like if you have Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.

That said, there's also ways around them counting your hotspot data

Since I live alone in rural Kansas only 2000 feet from an AT&T tower. if my truck isn't in my driveway, I'm not home.. So a wi-fi hot spot in my truck would suffice for internet at my house.. and $20 AT&T-FORD beats anything I can get home based.. Even AT&T 5Gbps DSL..at $45 a month...
Besides it's documented as being there on my window sticker with my VIN.. False Advertising and I'll be reporting it to the FTC in DC.. and As I used to work there. I know a lot of K street Attorneys who love to go after $$$$ Automotive guys..
