I live in Toronto but when I access the Google News page on the browser on my Tesla it shows me local news for Houston. That makes me think that my Tesla is using a VPN or something that gives it a Houston based IP address or an address tied to a Houston based company. Does anyone know exactly how the Tesla browse gets to the internet? Does it use some proxy or VPN to go through Tesla's servers first? Does this differ if you are on 3G vs wifi?
This appears to have the effect of my Nav system giving me voice directions in miles rather than km, despite the fact that I have my car set to use metric and the speedo shows km/h and range is shown in km. It seems that the Google Nav bases the units on what country you are in.
How do I change this? Do I log into Google with my Google ID? Will that even work for determining my location since people do travel.
