Good for you. When you work to force companies to honor agreements, you are helping the company..Lots of Tesla apologists and fanboys. I've been an owner since 2012 but am happy to call out Tesla when appropriate and fair.

Your car has different browser. Tesla disabled the browser in older cars so only cars with hardware and software like yours still work as well as they did originally.I don't know what would cause the failures many are mentioning
I am new and just learning. I just sold a 2017 Audi A8 because Audi let me know most of the cool online features, like Google Maps, Hotspot, etc, would stop working in December. It had 3G services. It is nice to have a car with technology that is working, but I guess Tesla giveth, and Tesla taketh away. I just hope I get 4 to 6 good years of all features - certainly thru the warranty period, which even the Audi didn't meet.Your car has different browser.

They probably won't begin disabling things in your 2020 for years so enjoy full functionality while it lasts. When your hardware is surpassed by a new architecture this is what you have to look forward to. Knowing what I do now the best advice is stop updating when new hardware is released - before they have a chance to remove things you currently have.
My 2014 Model S had a perfectly functional browser when it was delivered.
I would never compare its performance to a modern PC, even back then, but it worked. Every morning I would read my emails using webmail (traffic jam time spending...), check weather, read the newspaper online, etc...
No problem at all, simple websites = no problem, difficult websites (lots of flash) = problem, but just what
you'd expect form a browser in a car.
Then end 2016 they upgraded the UI to the new look and...
that was the end of the browser.
A functional feature stopped working, white screen, sometimes it shows a page after a few days, sometimes it doesn't.
At Tesla they kept saying that it was a software issue and they were going to fix it.
They never did.
Even a couple of years later when Elon anounced that they would speed up the UI by a SW improvement, the UI got
more responsive but the browser kept its white screen.
They added farting noises and other useless features but forgot to fix a broken item.
This year my MCU1 died (eMMC issue) and it got replaced by a new MCU1 with larger eMMC.
Only difference now is 4G/LTE but nothing else.
Browser is dead.
Everytime I mention this to Tesla they say 'we know this, you can't compare this with a modern computer'.
I HATE IT when they say this because it did work back in 2014-2015-2016 on 3G.
I have a car with a 17" screen and want to check the opening hours of a local shop without risking a traffic fine because I take my phone while in my car (illegal in Belgium). Tesla claims it can no longer be done.
I always wondered if I was the only person with a 2014 MCU1 with a white screen browser, but reading this thread it
sounds as if it is not car related but a intensive feature destruction.
What I think? They installed a cheap consumer eMMC memory in a car, the browser uses that memory too intensive, they switched off the browser to prevent the memory to die within warranty period.
So NO Elon, I do not require a fart feature in my car,
and YES ELON, I WANT MY BROWSER BACK
Own a 2015 MS85D. Have the same experience. Nav & music streaming are fine. Web browsing or searching are so spotty and slow that they are effectively useless. Don’t need it that often, so I’m not looking to purchase costly upgrades. So, there we are, smhI bought my car in 2017 and received the free HDW update yesterday.. I have a fast wireless Network and updates have always been fast and never a problem. Streaming music, gps, maps etc. have been Flawless.on the road or at home. No matter where the car is, home or away, trying to use the Internet browser Is a Act of futility. At times a page may open in 5 minutes or so.Never ever is it as fast or Reliable as the cheapest phone On the slowest network. When I hear about being able to watch Netflix I am baffled. I do not want this but I always thought there was no reason the browser should not function as well as a phone. To me the strangest thing is that it works no better on my home e Network.Than it works on the cell signal. I hoped the HDW update would solve this but the only visible change is the stop signs and traffic lights. I wonder can my car ever get to FSD and do such a sorry job retrieving anything from the internet. I know it is a separate issue but my car cost 100 k and for that price I expected every thing to work.
And in many areas, it is illegal to use a cell phone when driving.Lol it is easier and faster to check the web on your phone than on any Tesla, old or new. Stop being cry babies.
I am pretty sure it’s illegal to check internet on Tesla screen while driving as well.And in many areas, it is illegal to use a cell phone when driving.
Not if your on Auto PilotI am pretty sure it’s illegal to check internet on Tesla screen while driving as well.
