How to watch Peacock in a Tesla

Peacock runs in the Tesla browser. The free tier still needs an account, premium unlocks the full catalogue and live channels.

Launch Peacock Browser route

Good to know: Browser only. Requires a Peacock account, free or paid.

Step by step

  1. Park the car

    Streaming only runs in Park. Shift into Park and keep the car awake, a charging stop is the ideal moment.

  2. Open BigScrn in the car browser

    Open the in-car web browser and go to bigscrn.com. Bookmark it so it is one tap away next time.

  3. Tap Go full screen

    On the launcher, tap Go full screen. BigScrn bounces the browser through YouTube, the one site Tesla opens full screen. Tap "Go to site" when it appears and you land back full screen, and the browser stays that way.

  4. Launch Peacock and sign in

    Tap Launch on Peacock and sign in with your account. The browser remembers it, so you only sign in once per car. It opens full screen.

  5. Press play

    Start a title. It fills the display and audio plays through the car speakers.
