    The other, non-standard options I have is in-car coffee and free wifi when parked. The wifi is from a KarmaGo mounted under the rear hatch that is continuously powered. When a "visitor" uses the wifi, I get a free 100 MB.

    The coffee can be brewed on the go, if needed. I always stop to make coffee (and watch Harry Potter videos). The coffee maker nestles over the cup holders using a 3D printed mount and makes up to 14 oz in about 1.5 minutes into a spill-resistant travel mug or a ceramic coffee cup. Eventually I will get around to posting photos.
