TeslaRadar
A location-centered weather-radar map built for the Tesla in-car browser.

01 / The problem
What had to change
A vehicle browser needs a clear weather picture that follows its location without overwhelming the display or depending on a Tesla account integration.
02 / The constraints
What the system had to respect
- Radar rendering and playback must work within the in-car browser's limits.
- Unavailable location needs an explicit error and a clearly labeled fallback.
- The map must stay legible while location and radar data change.
03 / The build
What I made
- A map that follows the browser's location and combines RainViewer radar with an OpenStreetMap basemap.
- Track-based heading, follow controls, and a latest-frame view with optional radar playback.
- Local browser preferences and labeled demo locations when a live fix is unavailable.
04 / The result
The useful change
The tool keeps nearby weather visible in one compact map, with clear location state and controls suited to the vehicle browser.
