The large screen in a Tesla isn't just for navigation and settings — it's also a full entertainment system. That's especially useful during charging stops, where you're waiting a few minutes anyway. Note that features and services can vary by market and software version.

Streaming and video (Theater)

Via Tesla Theater you can watch streaming services on the screen while the car is stationary in Park. It turns a charging stop into a pleasant break. For safety, video can't play while the car is driving.

Games (Arcade)

Tesla Arcade holds a collection of games you can play while parked — some can even be controlled with the steering wheel. The selection updates over the air and varies over time and by market.

Music and sound

The car supports music streaming and radio, and on many models the sound system is among the best in its class. The exact music services can vary by market and software version — check the car's media menu. Many also enjoy Caraoke for a fun moment with passengers.

Fun features

  • Light shows and easter eggs: Tesla is known for hidden fun features.
  • Theater during charging stops: combine with Camp Mode for a comfortable temperature.
  • Profiles: media settings can follow your profile.

Note

Entertainment features, apps and services change over time via updates and can vary by market. Check the car's current menus for what's available to you.
