Hi,
Last weekend, me and some fellow TMC members from the Dutch/Belgium subforum organized the E-rally. Over 100 Tesla's participated and we raised more than € 35.000 for charity (for pictures, see this thread).
Driving a rally like that while holding a printed booklet, when you have a 17"touchscreen in the car seemed odd. But opening a PDF on the center screen is not possible. So I created a simple webapp that can be used to convert and view PDF files in the Tesla Model S.
This is how it works:
When behind a pc (or using specific types of smartphones) you can visit testapdf.com and upload a PDF. You can enter a name which will be used for creating a shortcut. The E-rally roadbook was uploaded using 'erally' as a shortcut, resulting in the link teslapdf.com/erally.
As an alternative (when not behind a pc), you can send/forward an email with a PDF attached to [email protected]. Use the desired name as the subject, and within a minute you can view the document at teslapdf.com/[name]
Browsing the document on the Model S screen is easy: click on the left half of the page to browse back, right half to browse forward. Or use the direct-page navigation at the top of the screen.
It's free. So enjoy.
And if you upload any documents that might be usesful to other TMC members: feel free to share url's as a response.
Regards,
Maurice
