While charging I should be able to cast my phone to the display or at least have major streaming apps I pay for available to watch.

E.g. Watch Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Not to mention. If someone is watching a movie or the large screen, they aren't paying attention to the amount of time it might be taking to charge the car.

How about the chance to get out of that car seat, amble about, stretch the body and relax the mind? That's a hidden health & sanity bonus we rarely got while pumping gas in our old internal combustion cars.

Pretty sure this is something that Apple and Google would have to allow and they never will for liability reasons, ie. hacking to show when car is being driven.

When you own a Tesla and a Mach E... You miss certain things when driving the Mach E. Been trying to locate a place to share what I miss when driving the Mach E. Found this site.

Love alll the answers. Bottom line is. Update the tech. Love my Mach E. It's just falling short on the tech in a few places.

I have been able to cast my phone to the display, sort of indirectly. It isn't ideal, and sometimes has a slight lag between audio and visual, but it does work.

I have never understood this desire to watch movies/shows on that center screen. The seats are positioned such that looking at the large, center screen for more than a few minutes would give me a headache and a crick in my neck. If I wanted to watch something, I'd buy a steering wheel tray for $15 and put a tablet on it.

But I'd much rather get out of the car and move around.

I'm too busy stretching my legs, finding the bathroom, and checking my phone to sit and watch anything in the car. Between two 2-hour drive legs, I gotta get out for a while.

By the time I check in on Plugshare, check email, X, txt msgs, Ring cameras at home... the car is done.

Sounds good, but what we REALLY need is... for them to move the sketch app into the entertainment folder... then we'll have plenty of entertainment options!
