Like, new cars that have wifi and “unlimited data”. Does that go through your cell provider? Is wifi in your car an extra monthly charge?? how is this a “perk” when my phone already has unlimited data?

It’s a hotspot, it uses cellular service (Verizon for instance). The benefit would be for say connecting a laptop, when your personal cellular plan for your phone has hotspot as an additional fee or a small data cap; maybe your own cellular provider doesn’t have service in an area but the provider the car uses does.

The cost depends on the manufacturer and any plans they offer.
