What do you use the web browser for?

[habanero69]

Porn, but only vintage porn pictures. It would have been filmed in the 70's or 80's so it would be low quality and already have serious noise/grain in the picture thus not worth the trouble, so I move on to something else. Just kidding Plus, the wife would NOT approve. NOT kidding.

Is there any single web page that has links to all other good Tesla web pages? So we can get to everything from that one webpage?

@HankLloydRight had one but I forgot what it was. Had weather, stocks, Waze, among others.

Absolutely nothing! I once tried to google a store to find the phone number, but it was so slow, I used my cellphone instead.

I use it a lot to check the weather forecast, news, scores, waze, email and so forth. There's big fines and points here for even just picking up your phone so I stay away from my phone while driving. It's connected to bluetooth if someone calls but otherwise it stays in my pocket. Plus, I'm in no rush when driving so a slow browser is no big deal. What bothers me is that it no longer remembers passwords for very long. With V6.2 it remembered them until a reboot or update.

Has anyone else noticed that CNN.com no longer comes up on the browser at all? I doubt it's only my car but I've tried rebooting, etc, and nothing works. It started about a month or so ago. So now I find myself checking Foxnews.com. It must be a conspiracy!

qTesla has a nice launch page I use to blacken the screen

I appreciate the kudos, but that page isn't mine!

I'm thinking you're thinking of teslapage.com Portal or qTesla both good portals.

Yep qTesla was what I was referring to. Sorry, must have been someone that looked just like you .

When looking for a new home, it is really cool to drive to a home for sale, pull up the MLS, and see the inside of the home all from the street! You can see a LOT of homes quickly without messing with and coordinating with agents.

See @AmpedRealtor, you are missing out on business opportunities.

Unfortunately, the browser is so bad that there is next to zero usability to do this. I've tried. It just doesn't work in a practical manner. The browser doesn't even recognize when I press on a link more than half the time. It's a piece of work, not in a good way.

I use the Tesla Radar Alerts on my Browser. Better than using Waze.

So you've tried the new Tesla Waze with radar?

What is Tesla Radar Alerts and/or Tesla Waze with radar?

I have security cameras in my house and just leave the live feed open in the browser

How are you doing that? My browser connections from the Tesla browser to my NVR or cameras block all those video protocols but I'd love to do what you're doing.

Some camera web pages allow for a javascript based viewer. It's not hard to simulate video. I wrote a script in the late-90's to do that capturing sequential images from the Boston Community Boating webcam and replaying them as a video.

That was back when only real men programmed in native Javascript. None of this pansy jQuery stuff now.

90% is showing folks there is a web browser, the other 10% is checking weather while on trips (and 10% may be too high). Now that the Peacemaker page is no longer available, showing the web browser is not nearly as much fun.

I'm using foscams and they have an option to display video In a standard web browser

Alright Hank, so your next project should be a portal for us to stream Netflix through the web browser. Of course for passengers only.

Another one to simply black out the whole screen without the big logo (e.g. If you're waiting at night in your car for someone) is blank black page

Back to the original question - Maybe 1% of the time that I'm actually using the browser, I'm logging into the ChargePoint site and the other 99% of the time I'm waiting for that page to load (no exaggeration). I hope the 8.1 update speeds up the browser significantly, and also remembers site login passwords between sessions

 

[HankLloydRight]

I don't think we're going to see any changes to the browser until as Elon says they're updating the underlying OS. Whether that's 8.1, we won't know, but I doubt it.

But realize everything I've doubted Tesla doing, they've actually done. So there's that.
