Look for "a better theatre" for Tesla. You can go in that route, go full screen, then from within there launch browser and finally TeslAA although I can't be bothered but did confirm it works.

You are right "most" cannot but all Samsung Galaxy S models since the S7 can. However for some dumb reason you cannot enable the hotspot if the phone has no SIM even though if you are on WIFI it will share the WIFI connection not the mobile one.
Also that post is 6 months old so guessing he figured out something by now anyway.
Interesting, thanks - Galaxy S user here and never knew that.
Sorry, I missed that it was old.
It is very useful in certain very specific circs that most people don't need.
I have used it for various things including
Sharing a paid wifi connection between multiple devices like in a hotel room / on a ship
As a temporary wifi extender to a Tesla that needs an update but is parked out on the street out of wifi Range
So that only one person of a group in a pub has to go through the barely fathomable login procedure to the wifi
stuff like that.
There are a few other phones that have the feature but its surprisingly rare outside of the Galaxy S line.

Sharing paid wi-fi on a transatlatic flight is a use case that I can see value in for me. If it's limited to one device (which it often is) I'm often torn as to whether to pay for access from my phone or my laptop (I'm generally not willing to pay twice).
EDIT: Although if it insists on a SIM (presumably a throwback to a version of Android that can't share wi-fi) I wonder if it similarly fails if the mobile connection is in flight mode. Experimentation needed, methinks...
You are rught it does not work in flight mode even with wifi on. Though it does work with mobile data off. But you dont actually have to be in flight mode on a flight so i don't see it as a big issue. Just dont name your hotspot "terror network" like one person did as a joke that badly backfired if i recall from the news story.

Do you even need to use flight made any more these days apart from takeoff and landing? Last long haul flight I was on that had on board connectivity you were allowed to keep your phone running as normal, you were just asked to not speak too loudly if you were on the phone

Yeah, just a bit. It was on a flight to/from the Middle East so, I suspect, for many on that flight money is no object

I feel like this should be easy but I can't seem to figure it out. Is there a way to turn off the Tidal display in Teslaa and only see the map?
I've tried everything I can think of - going through options, resizing the screen, trying to drag it off, etc. No joy.
TY.

That's an Android Auto "thing", not TeslAA - have a google for "coolwalk" to get more information. One thing in TeslAA - make sure you have it set for 1080p display and that should give you 3 x tiles instead of 2 which is a better layout for the maps in my view.

If you use Google Maps then you can get full screen, but it doesnt work on Waze

I prefer Waze as well. It's a much, much better map over what Tesla has., except for sC details. Not to mention the crowd-sourcing. I'll verify the next supercharger stop and just put that address into Waze. But like you usually just for longer trips.
And TeslAA is by far the best way to use Android Auto with a fully functional Waze on the MCU monitor in a Tesla. I generally run the browser in 3/4 screen mode.
There's also Tesla Traffic Incidents and Information but it's map only - you really need Waze running on your phone at the same time to get the audio/alerts portion.
