Dashboard Clock / Stocks / Weather / News TeslaTime provides a large clock display for your dashboard. Styled to look like a first-party component of the display. To use: 1. Using the car browser visit dash.time4tesla.com 2. Click on your timezone at the bottom. 3. Click Add to Favorites Button Enjoy. ps: Feedback most welcome.
Seems pretty cool. I am not a web programmer so I don't know if you can even solve this problem. If you repeatedly change time zones you accelerate the clock. A few seconds per click. When I refresh the clock it goes back to the correct time. Tested on Chrome on a WinXP box (I hate my work laptop!).
Very nice and classy! Thanks! Looks very good on my iPad that's a stand-in for now for a certain 17" screen.
Cool. Very nice clock! But... as a brand guy, it's never a good idea to have/allow your logo to be anything other than right-side up. Diminishes the stature. Kind of like flying the flag upside-down... a no no.
Rumbles: Awesome! I guess you claim the prize for the first "custom app" for the Model S! Looks great! Too bad I don't have a Model S to view it in... How does it look if the browser view is split in half?
All - Thank you for the feedback. It was a fun side project. It has made me wonder what other types of information would be well suited to presentation in this area. Ideas welcome. Note: the most obvious set of data, location is unavailable to the browser. ElSupreme - Known bug, not sure how to prevent. Clicking reload fixes it. SCW-Greg - I hear you but I hope Tesla doesn't agree / care deeply. Brianman - Thank you for the up-close picture. dpodoll - HST now included (as well as AST). Todd Burch - Works in half-screen just fine... indeed it is optimized for that.
IMHO, the "killer app" will be the best charge station finder. Perhaps something along the lines of "Plug-Share" integrated with the GPS... Some services can tell you if a particular station is in use or not. Having access to pictures of the site and specific details about the charging type (connector, amperage, etc.) would be great. Being able to upload your own photos and add entries to a shared database would be great too. It would be nice if it could show you a circle on the map with projected range so you could see which stations are reachable with your current amount of charge. Is Tesla already doing this, or are we waiting for a 3rd party to come forward?
I have a similar problem, when I accelerate extremely hard, the clock seems to lose time. My drive takes 30 minutes, but only 27 minutes passed on the Tesla web clock. Possibly related, objects in the rear view mirror get a red hue.
Now if the car just gave you access to the lat/long of the car, or its auto-dim decision, you could do the day/night decision automagicly.
