New in tescast: radio, apps, games and free movies
tescast now has four new tabs and sections: radio from 50+ countries, an Apps tab with Netflix and Spotify, five ad-free games and free movies.
Short answer: tescast now has four new features. The Radio tab has stations from more than 50 countries. The Apps tab opens Netflix, Spotify and other platforms full screen while parked. The Games tab has ad-free games. Free movies in the IPTV tab has public domain and Creative Commons films.
tescast is a web app that plays live TV, YouTube and your own IPTV list in the Tesla browser. We added four new features. They are all live now, and they are part of the same subscription. Here is what each one does.
Radio
The new Radio tab has the most listened stations of more than 50 countries, grouped by genre. Tap the country button at the top to switch countries. There are also more than 100 Turkish stations, such as TRT FM, Power FM and Süper FM.
Radio keeps playing in a bar at the bottom of the screen while you use other tabs. Long press a station to add it to your favorites. Radio plays in our own player, so it keeps going while you drive. More in the radio guide.
Apps
The Apps tab opens 178 streaming, live and music platforms in Tesla's full-screen view. Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Spotify and Twitch are there, and so are local platforms of 57 countries, such as BBC iPlayer and ITVX in the UK.
Each platform opens as its own website, and you sign in with your own account. We do not play or sell these services. Tesla shows the full-screen view only while parked, and we do not change that. To come back, open tescast.app again. More in the Netflix on Tesla guide.
Games
The Games tab has ad-free games. When this post came out, the tab had five small games that we wrote ourselves. Those games are gone.
Update (November 2026): the Games tab now has 7 party games for driver and passenger. While the car moves, the driver plays by voice only and never looks at or taps the screen.
In Park mode you both tap. In Road mode the driver plays by voice only. More in the games guide.
Free movies
The IPTV tab now starts with Free movies: films and series that are in the public domain or under a Creative Commons license that allows commercial use. You find Blender open movies such as Big Buck Bunny and Sintel, the Pepper&Carrot anime, silent classics such as Nosferatu, and NASA mission films. Each title shows its license.
You do not need your own IPTV list for this, and it works in the free trial. Passengers can keep watching while the car moves. The driver watches the road. More in the free movies guide.
What it costs
Nothing extra. Radio, Apps, Games and free movies are in the tescast subscription: $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year. You can try it in your car for 5 minutes without a card.
If something does not work in your car, tap Report a problem in the app or write to support@tescast.app.
