Weather Radar on Navigation Map?

[StanT]

OK... I'm a Meteorologist so I'm totally bias... But man I would love to see an option if you have premium connectivity to have the near live radar on the navigation map as a layer.

yeah, I know I can use the browser to go to a website and see the radar- but man that's slow, not easy to zoom in, etc.

AND I know this means they would have to pay for some outfit to allow them access to their radar imaging graphics so it could be put on the map.

But wouldn't it be great to see snow or ice coming in?... maybe plan a southern (but longer) route in the winter if you see some bad weather coming. Or plan your supercharging around it- looks like really bad thunderstorms... I'll just supercharge for the next 20 mins and let them pass...

I'm a total Tesla newbie- so I have no idea how to ask for a feature... Any suggestions? Or if someone on this forum as an "in"- please ask them for me? you can take the credit .

Am I crazy or would that be a great feature.

To take it to the next level, it would be awesome if the cars used weather conditions to more accurately predict range.

Elon just responded to a tweet requesting this with a "probably". Which is different than his typical "Sure" response, but still good news.

I think the car should also provide severe weather alerts for your location.

That's Fantastic! I bet because this would cost extra $ for content is why it was a probably... Still fantastic!

Would be a great Feature. Has been requested many times before so hopefully it will be added in the future.

I think it was Tezlab that would load your profile in the browser and track your car with radar updating every few minutes. I cant remember because my MCU1 web browser doesn't load anything any more. I liked it when I had it working for sure.

I used to use Tesla wind until my MCU1 browser stopped working.

Great feature idea. I would pay a little extra for it.

We're paying for premium connectivity after 1-year so there's the additional income.

Would be nice to have a weather forecast option by touching the temperature readout. (5-day, 10-day, storms, etc...)

This would go great with Hail Avoidance Mode which they should also implement. Route me around areas that are likely to hail.
