Netflix and... Charge?

Not sure how I missed this a couple days ago... Though I'm sure most people would rather have Version 9 right now.

Elon Musk on Twitter

This would be a truly amazing feature. If you can cast to the screen from your phone then it wouldn't even need to use the car's data plan.

When I stopped at a certain* Supercharger a few months ago, a Tesla engineer was on-site. We got to talking and he showed me the equipment behind the fenced-in area, particularly the cellular data transceivers—multiple ones. Then he mentioned something about wifi coming to this site so people charging could watch movies etc. Nothing’s happened since but I suspect it’s related to this recent Elon tidbit.

*not gonna say which location; don’t wanna get engineer in trouble

There's a lot of states with prohibitions about what can be viewed from the driver seat. Since one of the features that have been mentioned is that the car doesn't have different modes when driving, this would break that rule.
Maybe this is what the games are designed for.

I would assume this would only work when parked.

Would be only when parked. Tesla could go a step further and allow this only when charging.

Heck. I can watch dvd movies in my 2010 Infiniti G when in park and I put a DVD in.

Problem is, once the capability is there, hackers will find a back door to make it work when not in park or while charging.

That applies to every car with this capability and there are a ton that can do this.

Yup, same with my Highlander I just sold.
