MCU 1 Browser working - something good for a change

[T.R.T.e.s.l.a.]

So the browser (which i don't use much) on my MCU1 has been working fine for several days now.
It happened since the 2020.8.1 update and it's still working with the 2020.8.1.1 (which was installed just a day after the previous one).

So..., despite the slow range reduction (stealing) that keeps coming in every update, something good for a change.

Let's just see how long the working browser lasts.

How fast is it? Usable? A better route planner would be great to have in the car - does that work?

Interesting...went to check mine and my browser appears functional as well. For now.

I update yesterday to 2020.8.2, and as usual after an update the browser is working.
Now I will wait a couple of days, and then I'll report back if it still works or not.

Great Tesla strategy - something that should work is broken for a long time. When it starts working, you feel like you got an upgrade or new feature.

Right after a update or after a reboot, the MCU1 browser will work for a bit, but try it in a day or two or after driving 50+ miles, and you'll see that it just stops. Go to map an tap on a point of interest and tap on the web browser icon which should bring up the web page for that point of interest. Do that a few times and you're browser will no longer function until you do a reboot.

Don't know.
I will try it later and will report.

Yes, i know that.
But in my case, this time, it's been working for a bit more time.
It will probably fail again in these next few days, but so far it's holding longer that it used to lately.

We still have a browser? Just ignore it and sooner or later it will fade from memory, and now you've wrecked that. I think the last time I touched the non-working browser was 9 months ago.

The only time I'm reminded I have a browser is then the "what's new in this update" screen pops up and is blank.

I spoke too soon (i was kind of expecting that).
ABRP kind of loads, but then it "frezes" and doesn't really work.
Some sites work a little bit better than before, but some don't really work.

I spoke too soon, sorry.....

I wish it would fade from memory, but it's still there slowly killing the emmc just by existing, wearing it out more every update whether you use it or not. At least if they finally fixed it we can get something useful sometimes.

Dang. I gotta run an errand shortly (I hope there's milk at the market. How do you hoard milk? It's not a staple like toilet paper or corn flakes) and so I will test it out.

 

[Bill_75D]

How do you hoard milk?

Freeze it.

Some folks are gonna be drinking a heck of a lot of milk. LOL

You night have to open it and split it up a bit, or the carton/plastic gallon may burst.

 

[Chaserr]

It will get weird too, as the oil and water separate

that's why they need all the toilet paper they're hoarding.

FWIW, after 3 days it's still working!
