Poll: My web browser works... how often?

[Dante]

So I've had LTE/3G internet connection issues since I got my car. Lately they have improved, but I've also moved away from using the streaming music service, and instead use my phone for music. Around the same time, I got the V9 update with a shiny new web browser... which barely ever works. So I'm curious if this is just my car (and its ongoing LTE issues), or if everyone is in the same boat having a web browser that is rarely functional. I'm not talking about trying to load fancy websites with complex code that the browser can't handle. I mean simple websites that you enter into your browser: does the page load? My experience has been that the screen requires a reboot (2 steering wheel buttons pressed down) before the browser will work at least half of the time. I've submitted bug reports almost every time, but nothing seems to be changing. Is it just my car, or is this a universal issue? To be clear, my LTE/3G appears to be connected, but whatever I do in the browser, it doesn't even try to load. After a restart, the address bar fills with a grey shade, and the website loads (sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly). Interested in others' experiences

Universal issue. Browser is barely functional most of the time but occassionally works. I used a Model S with MCU2 for a week recently and it was infinitely better.

Mine works great on the model 3 . No issues so far.

Mine also works great on my Model 3

Most of the time, it's white screen and won't load anything. If I leave it while driving for 30 minutes, it might load eventually. Rebooting does not help it for me. My success getting it to work on demand is under 10%.

My success rate so far in 1 month of having V9 is 0%. It has never successfully loaded any webpage that I have tried. I don't think I'll try again until some future update.

Whenever i see these threads I feel like the concept is all relative. Try using the browser on a MCU1 S or X. Hell even that is way better now than it was before the update that enabled GPU acceletated rendering. Before that good luck scrolling more than a page a minute. You see... Model 3 owners dont know how good they have it... does it work as well as a fast iPad no, but its actually usable.

no problem here... just slower than i would like

Mine only works on WiFi, and even then only about 50% if I don’t restart first.
