Just get to the plex.tv website (via Google search or a link saved in Google Keep) and login \/ launch the web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can run your own custom built websites full screen whenever you choose or just kill some time while you&#8217;re supercharging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you&#8217;re doing hopefully this helps a few owners out there and maybe in the next software update Tesla will just add in a &#8220;full screen&#8221; button to the proper browser so it&#8217;s even easier.
