Dash Mounted Tablet Solution

[Pops]

I decided to mount a tablet to my dash. This way I can have navigation/(any app you want) while still being able to see the video feeds on the main screen. With my Samsung phone I am able to automatically activate my hotspot whenever I connect to the CT Bluetooth so the tablet has internet. I will run a USB cable under the trim. This could also work with a phone.

I am considering adding a privacy screen to the tablet so passerby's cant see me browsing cybertruckownersclub.com as I drive.

I used 2x of this mount: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGHNQ53C

Yes, but I will avoid watching Harry Potter, that movie is especially dangerous. (Man Died Watching 'Harry Potter' When Self-Driving Tesla Crashed)

Sorry, you mean you connect to the CT Bluetooth… then your Samsung tablet will get the Internet from CT?

Samsung has "Routines" that allow you to activate the phones hotspot, to it happens like this:

1. Phone detects connection to CT BT
2. Phone activates Hotspot
3. Tablets WIFI is always trying to connect to Phones Hotspot
4. Internet is now available to the tablet from the phone.

To expand on @Spacenoddle 's thought.... Does the foundation series' premium connectivity give you any sort of hotspot that this tablet could get on?

that looks like it's blocking a lot of the airflow... is that noticeable?

Yes it blocks some, but the tablet isnt flush against the white trim so air still comes out below it. I personally do not like the air blowing directly into my face, it dries out my eyes, so this setup doesnt bother me.

All my research on this has said no.

The airbag is in the steering wheel right? - cause if its in the dash like on the passenger side, that would be bad.

Teslas don't come with a wifi router in them, so no. BUT might be an interesting mod.
