New web browser actually works

[bigboost]

So I think it was no secret that the web browser on the MCU has been useless, until the recent update that is. My car downloaded the newest update a few nights ago, which included the new web browser, so I played with it some and was surprised to find that fiddling around on the web was actually possible! I was on this forum for a while and it worked about as good as Safari on my iPhone. Still no video playback, but a step in the right direction!

Do you have MCU1 or MCU2 ?

I agree, for the MCU1 my Navigation map is lightening fast, no more squares repainting. It paints the entire screen all at once, and zooms in and out all at once. Very smooth.

2019.12.1.1

I'm on firmware 2019.12.1.1 and MCU2 and I agree that the navigation maps are fast, but if you try to surf (at least with my car) it's pretty slow, although that may be indicative of the LTE connection not being the best it could?

Please provide software version and what mcu you have without that context this thread doesn’t give much info

Browser performance is much better (2019.12.1.2 / MCU2), with most pages drawing quickly and showing dynamic content updates. Unfortunately and inexplicably, Tesla Waze is broken again, unless you use the trick of opening the drawing pad first. Very strange, but something in Nav interferes with Tesla Waze on browser when both are active.

Check out the video from Thomas The Tesla Tuner. His tricks make MCU1perform like MCU2. Kudos to Thomas!
