CarCinema on the Model X

The Model X shares its infotainment with the Model S: a 17-inch screen that turned landscape with the 2021 refresh. CarCinema runs in the built-in browser on both generations.

Long Supercharging stops are where the big screen earns its keep: QR login takes seconds and the library is waiting exactly where you left it.

Frequently asked questions

Does YouTube work on the Tesla Model X?

Not directly in the browser: Tesla blocks video playback. CarCinema gets around that block, so YouTube videos you send to the bot play on the Model X screen the same way they do in every other Tesla.

Which Model X years are supported?

Every car with a working browser. Playback is smoothest on MCU2 and newer infotainment, including every refreshed Model X.

Do I need to install anything?

No. You open carcinema.app in the built-in browser and log in with a QR code.
