A good amount of YouTube content is HTML 5 now so as long as the browser within the Model S is HTML 5 compliant it will be able to natively handle video that is coded appropriately.
Seeing what Flash does to my laptops I would worry that it would reduce my range in the S :tongue:

Well the browser seemed pretty bad to me so I guess they must be improving it. It was super buggy and slow. Doubt it has HTML 5 now.
According to the guys at the Oak Brook store, video will NOT work on the browser - something about this being unlawful.....

Yes they do. A Ranger told me how: Call up the "Tires" screen on the VDS, engage "D" and release the handbrake - Presto, you're driving with the tire pressures showing on screen. (Can be easily done at traffic lights).
I don't believe it would be unlawful if the car is in park. That should be an easy check to implement, and it would suck to be sitting in front of a big Tegra3-powered screen with a studio speaker sound system and not have the ability to watch a movie!

Yup my car has a parking check that I just bypassed for video 
Same with Nav wil driving. I have a switch to turn off gps temporarily and then turn it back on so I can enter nav destinations.

You know, when I think about it more, you may be right - we were talking about what you could do while the car was moving; I don't think I asked him about the screen while in park.

Returning to the dual-view monitor functionality that has been mentioned before.
That would be a nice touch for a Model S 2.0, as ever more premium and luxury cars start offering such a device as an option.
And having seen it in action makes me really appreciate the advantages.
And think what a rear dual-view monitor could do for peace on long travels if your kid sitting on the left could watch a different program/film than the kid sitting in the seat on the right. No more fighting about the choice. Bliss.

Received this just hours ago from my Tesla rep:
This is really disappointing to me. What about the technology, Tesla? C'mon, push the boundaries!

Watching a movie while waiting for a charge sounds like a good idea. LOTR trilogy, extended edition, I would be able to stay sane if I was stuck in the boonies with 120V (but probably not fit to drive after!)
Thanks for your reports, Todd!

I wonder if we can put a 'webpage' onto a flash drive, and encode video in H.264 and watch via HTML5? I guess in the future looking at his response.
I too would like to be able to watch a movie while charging, taking a picnic while driving.
If we're vocal enough, maybe they'll make it happen in a future update. I assume all the hardware's there...and USB has enough bandwidth to support video. Maybe this is so low on their priority list (and they have a long list) that it's not on anyone's radar at this point.
