How do you keep kids entertained on a Tesla road trip?

TessDrive puts full streaming apps — Disney+, YouTube, Apple TV, Prime Video and more — on the Tesla's screen for passengers, and because it plays through the browser rather than Tesla's parked-only Theater, kids in the back or a passenger up front can keep watching while you drive. It uses your phone's hotspot or existing WiFi, so there's no separate data plan.

Can passengers watch movies on a Tesla during a long drive?

Yes. TessDrive is built for passenger entertainment on the road, not just when parked. It must never distract the driver, and you should follow applicable laws.

Road trips

Tesla road-trip entertainment, for everyone along for the ride

TessDrive turns your Tesla's screen into a full entertainment hub for road trips — real streaming apps like Apple TV, Prime Video, Disney+ and YouTube for passengers, playing even while you're driving, using the hotspot you already have.

Keeps passengers and kids happy on long drives

Long stretches go faster with something to watch. TessDrive brings the apps everyone actually uses to the big center screen — movies, shows, kids' favorites — all the full Android catalog, not a short pre-set list.

It plays while you drive

Tesla's built-in Theater shuts off once you leave Park. TessDrive plays through the browser, so passengers can keep watching on the move. It's for passengers only and must never distract the driver — follow the laws where you are. More on watching while moving →

No extra data plan

TessDrive gets online through your phone's hotspot or WiFi you already have — there's no dedicated cellular modem and no separate bill. Many apps also let you download titles ahead of time for stretches with spotty signal.

Any app, one screen

Because it's genuine Android, you install whatever the family likes through the built-in App Installer, plus full sideloading — streaming, music and more. What is TessDrive? →

Which Teslas?

Any Tesla with a modern browser (MCU2 or newer): all Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck, and Model S / Model X from roughly mid-2018 onward, or an older S/X upgraded to MCU2.
