We live in a corporate hellhole so you’ll get a screen just big enough to play obnoxious ads instead.

billygoat,

Yeah, all I can think of is that they would play ads 24/7 right in front of the parking spot.

I would rather stop at a gas station, fill up my tank which takes like two minutes, pay and be on my way.

MdRuckus,

I’m sure corporate America is ready to charge you $100 to watch that movie too.

BB69,

You’re only charging for 15ish minutes.

Teslas do this already with the center screen. And a charging stop usually isn’t long enough to make that much meaningful progress on a show. You’re there for like 15 mins a lot of time tops. Going to the bathroom/getting a sandwich/etc substantially eats into that time.

Capricorny90210,

Enough time to squeeze in an episode of Frasier. I’m down.

reddig33,

It only takes twenty minutes to fast charge an EV these days. Better to install them at places like Starbucks and McDonalds so travelers can stop, get a drink, and use the bathroom.

AdamEatsAss,

Or we should improve rail and bus transit. Wi-Fi on board and you can stream whatever you want. Plus no stressful, bad for the earth, driving.

psud,

At home, my car plus in over the weekend once a week

On long trips, it charges at a fast charger in less time than it takes to get the children toileted and fed. You need to set an alarm on your phone to avoid getting idle fees

On long trips without kids the in car entertainment is great, but even without it you don’t have much time for YouTube, especially if you need to pee

(Tesla with premium connectivity)

With your external screen idea, wouldn’t you prefer one you can cast your own content to?

youRFate,

This actually exists here, the first two rows at the Aschheim drive in cinema have chargers.

Zippy,

Drive in theaters rocked. Miss them.

Are there many EVs that don’t have a giant screen with the capability of watching movies?

Rouxibeau,

Not everone uses Apple. Several popular models have no, small, or low res screens.

Moonrise2473,

A better idea is a vacuum nearby the charger. Meanwhile you pay for the charge you could also pay to vacuum the car. Maybe pay for that water less car wash

negativenull,

I like this!

A car wash and snack bar is a better was to spend 15-30m. This isn’t 2004. EVs don’t need a movie’s length of time to charge unless you’re at home.

I’d start with a trash can nearby. Almost none of them that I’ve been to have a trash that’s anywhere close.

I like this idea just for bringing back drive-in theaters. They’re pretty non-existent around me. Used to be several and it was always more fun than a regular theatre.

We have 2 near me. I don’t go as much as I’d like but they’re pretty fun

ImmortanStalin,

The lithium fire would make it dinner and a movie.
