So you can browse the web if you want. They ship worse than that. Every car comes with a copy of Stardew Valley

Stardew valley is a bit of harmless fun that can be safely ignored if you don't want to play. A web browser is obviously a can of worms that opens you up to security issues... Seriously, what is the use case? YouTube and Netflix ought to have a native app. Do I desperately want to browse HN but I don't have a phone on me? I don't understand.

  Well, you can look up the websites of restaurants and things right from the map, etc.

Is there anyone, at all, who has a Tesla but not a mobile phone? The decision to include a browser is baffling.

  Like I said in a different tree, they absolutely want you to leave your phone alone while you ride their car.

  It's very useful when your mobile is pay as you go and also has a much larger screen which makes referring to it while driving much safer. You can also use abetterrouteplanner to get better route planning than Tesla's own solution. Your passenger can use it to find a place to eat while you are driving. Not everyone, not even every Tesla owner, has an always online mobile.

    > It's very useful when your mobile is pay as you go Hmm, is this a regional thing? Prepaid mobiles here typically have 20GB to "unlimited" (note; not actually unlimited; they'll certainly throttle you if you take the piss) per month data. > which makes referring to it while driving much safer Eh? You shouldn't be using it while driving! Does it even work while driving? > Not everyone, not even every Tesla owner, has an always online mobile. They might be better spending the money they're spending on data service for their car on data services for their phone...

None of the games and entertainment functions will work unless the car is in park.
