At the service center yesterday. One of the guys there showed me screen shots of what's new for 6.0. Traffic based Nav was on the list.
That's been known to be the main feature of v6.0 for many, many months.
You can install our site as a web app on your iOS device by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari. Please see this thread for more details on this.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.

I look forward to February when we will finally be able to see it and play with it....OH WAIT!!!That's been known to be the main feature of v6.0 for many, many months.
No pics no care

Phil, can you please describe the features from the screenshots apart from traffic nav? Does the update look "meaty" enough otherwise?
Yeah, tell me about it. Thought there would be at least one person that appreciated hearing that.
Was there anything about the trip planner or video in the web browser?
If they're going to restrict video to park only (which seems reasonable to me), they could presumably also restrict it to wifi only if bandwidth and 3G costs are problematic. Though I realize that wouldn't help if you're parked in a remote location, unless you bring your own hotspot.
Video in the browser won't be in v6.0 and is unlikely to be there in the next couple of years; there's bandwidth issues (3G) and Tesla is paying for the connections so opening it up has the potential to cost them big bucks unless they come up with a measurable fee structure. That's going to be low priority.
It would be nice if Tesla offered restricted wifi access at the superchargers. The restriction would be that only Tesla vehicles can access the network. It would be great to be able to work while I charged.
Sorry I don't get it. You want Tesla to take R&D resource away from Model X and Model III and instead invest it in allowing you to watch video in your car while it's in park and when it's tethered to wifi? I think you should buy yourself a $200 android tablet and let them get on with building the best cars in the world.
How would you work though? I'd assume that you need a laptop hopping on that WiFi. You cannot get work done from the car's screen, can you?
What they should allow, that should be completely uncontroversial, would be to allow playing the audio stream only. They should do this for webpages with regular mp3s and but also the audio stream of video like youtube.
This adds no general danger to the car because you can already find audio using the touchscreen in multiple ways - simple things like picking a radio station, music off your flash drive, but also you can choose internet streams from the services they provide. So I should be able to go say youtube.com and play the audio from a video, or go to marketplace.org in the webbrowser and play the latest podcast.
You can often but not always find these in the current apps they have, but its such a huge pain to find things I rarely bother.
