How to watch Tubi in a Tesla

Tubi is free and needs no subscription, which makes it the easiest first launch to confirm streaming works in your car. Also a Tesla Theater app on many models.

Launch Tubi In Tesla Theater + browser

Good to know: Free with ads. No paid account needed.

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 Tubi

    Tap Launch on Tubi. It opens full screen, no account required.

  5. Press play

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

Shortcut: On supported cars, Tubi is also in Tesla Theater (Entertainment, then Theater) so you can skip the browser entirely. The browser route still helps for extra profiles or cars without Theater.

Do I need a Tubi subscription?

Tubi is free, though it may ask you to create a free account. No paid subscription is required.

Can I watch Tubi while driving?

No. Streaming only works in Park, and you should never watch video while the car is moving. BigScrn is for passengers and parked, charging cars.

Through the car speakers. Set the volume on the steering-wheel scroll or the on-screen control as you would for music.
