Chevy Wi-Fi So, your going on vacation. Driving to Texas from Wisconsin let’s say. Thats a good 2-3 day trip by car if you stop to sleep. Unfortunately for you, every town you drive through isn’t going to offer city-wide wi-fi for you to do your work on. But now, Chevy is giving you that opportunity, sort of.

They aren’t going to put wi-fi in every city in America, no that wouldn’t be too practical. But they will begin to offer dealer-installed wi-fi into their vehicles. So that way, you can do your work while you are on your way across the country.

Now, the biggest issue that’s going to come with this is going to be the people that decide to work on there laptop while they drive. You know, the same people that try and change pants while going down the freeway. Yea those people…

But the coolest part is the fun-factor that is going to come out of having a mobile wi-fi hotspot. You could drive slowly around town, teasing everyone with free wi-fi for a few minutes then speeding off, taking the wi-fi with you. Or you could do the same to your friends, go park in there driveway for a min or two just to be mean.

This option is called Chevrolet Wi-Fi by Autonet Mobile and is going to be offered in the Equinox, Traverse, Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche and Express. Price is $400 but through the end of the year, they offer a $200 mail-in-rebate to knock that price in half. So go and enjoy your mobile Starbucks cafe, minus the whole coffee and treats and other goods they offer except the wi-fi.
