How movies in Tesla in motion work

1. 1
   What CyberCinema is

   CyberCinema plays movies on the Tesla screen the car already has. It is a web app inside CyberDash. You open it in the native Tesla browser, on the front screen and on the rear screen. A large movie library is already on the display. You search if a title is missing, open the movie page, and press Watch. You do not add a Fire Stick, an HDMI box, a phone mount, or any other device. The same page can stay on the screen after the car leaves the parking spot.

2. 2
   Start while parked

   While the car is parked, the library is available as soon as you sign in. Open the browser, open CyberCinema, and pick a film. Fullscreen plays without the usual browser chrome, laid out for the Tesla theater screen. A Pro plan unlocks movies in motion, so that same film can stay available while the car is moving. You do not close the page when you put the car in gear. You do not switch apps. You do not turn on a separate motion mode. The session you started while parked is the session that can continue on the road. Watching while you drive is unsafe. Use it only when that is legal and you can keep your attention on the road. Passengers can watch. The driver watches the road.

3. 3
   What “in motion” means

   In motion means the car is no longer parked. The wheels are turning: you are in town, on a highway, stopped in traffic, or moving again, and the film can still be on the Tesla display. The library, search, the movie page, and fullscreen are the same as when the car was parked. It is still CyberCinema’s own library. It is not a Netflix, Disney+, or other streaming login that CyberDash gives you. If a title is not in the library, search is how you look for it. Nothing new has to be installed because the car started moving.

4. 4
   Front and rear screens

   On the front screen, the center display can keep showing the film for the drive. Use that only when it is legal and you can still focus on the road. It is not permission to watch the screen instead of the traffic. If people in the car want the film for the whole trip, the rear screen is the place, on a Tesla that has one. Start it while parked: turn on theater mode from the front screen, then start the rear theater. With Pro, the rear display can keep the film after the front screen leaves the browser and after the trip continues. Passengers watch. The driver watches the road.

5. 5
   No extra device

   You do not add a device at the moment the car starts moving. A Fire Stick is a small Amazon player made for a television HDMI port, its own remote, and a power plug. The Tesla center screen is not that television. It does not have an HDMI input you plug a stick into so the stick becomes the car display. You cannot put a Fire Stick into the Tesla browser and have it play movies in motion. If you already own one, leave it at home. CyberCinema will not ask for it.

6. 6
   No hardware, no jailbreak

   The same is true of HDMI boxes, phone mounts, tablet mounts, and CarPlay adapters. They are not how a film stays on during the drive. Nothing is installed in the car, there is no jailbreak, and opening the page does not void the warranty. Pro on the CyberDash account is what keeps the film available while the car is moving. Pro is $11.99 a month or $99.99 a year. After you sign up you get 24 hours of test access, so you can open CyberCinema on your own car before you pay. You can also add movies to your library from the CyberDash app for iPhone or Android. The film itself still plays in the car browser.

7. 7
   Internet and supported cars

   The film still needs internet while the car is moving. Premium Connectivity, a phone hotspot, or any other working data link is enough. Movies in motion use the same playback as movies while parked. If the signal drops on the road, the picture drops with it. CyberCinema is built for Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X from 2021, and Cybertruck. It is optimized for AMD Ryzen cars, Hardware 3 and Hardware 4. Intel cars can open it too; the page and the film simply take longer to start. You do not buy a different device for a different model.
