Leak says raft of new entertainment apps coming to Tesla cars

Tesla recently updated the software in their cars to bring Tesla Theatre, with access to Netflix and YouTube when the car is stationary, which should help while away the time while you are waiting at a Supercharger.

Now, regular Tesla leaker, Green has revealed a number of other applications also on the way.

The Tesla apps list includes popular entertainment apps such as Comedy Central, Crunchyroll, Monty python, Twitch, HBO Go, HBO Now, Mixer, YouKu.

Unlike many other cars, Model S, for example, comes with an expansive 17-inch touchscreen while the Model 3 comes with a 15-inch touchscreen. Recently, Tesla announced Arcade experience which brings games like Beach Buggy Racing 2, Cupcake and support for playing with the Xbox controller, and also Chess and Careoke to Tesla cars.

For now, both these apps will work only when the car is stopped. When full self-driving is approved by regulators, Tesla will enable video while moving.

Recently, Elon Musk said that he would consider opening the Tesla infotainment platform more broadly to third-party developers for both apps and games in the future, with an app store in the offing eventually.
