Tesla's Latest Software Update Turns Vehicle Into A Rolling Movie Theater

Tesla vehicle owners in the United States who are subscribed to the company’s Early Access Program are getting their first look at the new V10 update that includes numerous entertainment and performance options. One of the more exciting features is the new “Tesla Theater” that will allow owners to view movies and stream videos from the comfort of their car.

CEO Elon Musk announced on July 27 that Tesla will be releasing a “Theater Mode” via his official Twitter account when discussing features that would be included in the upcoming V10 software update. Highlighting Tesla’s “comfy seats” and optimal surround sound audio system, Musk’s announcement hinted that movie enthusiasts everywhere will soon be able to experience one of the best in-vehicle film viewing experiences in the industry.

Great idea Elon...give your customers another thing to do in a moving vehicle besides driving the car.

If people would only read...

The Theater function only works when the car is parked. It will not work in a moving car.

There is already full web browser on all Teslas today, has not been easy to hack to play videos.

I have been able to show Movies in MY Mini-van to the rear seat passengers even while the vehicle is moving- I do not see why I would want to sit in a drivers seat with the car not moving - for a small screen.

If you are waiting for someone, camping, charging the car, etc. Same use case as the video games. Cuphead is the first legit game coming out for the car (v10 release, next week), I'm really looking forward to that one.

At some point in 1-10 years you'll be able to watch videos and play games while it is moving, "just" need level 4 autonomy.

Sure, if you die having a heart attack in a stopped car.

Actually, they tend to be safe cars where you are less likely to die than other cars.
