Elon Musk announced that Fallout Shelter will be able to be played on Tesla vehicles, other titles that can be played include Beach Buggy and Racing 2, as well as classic Atari games. The vehicles support PS4 as well as Xbox controllers, and the controls of the car can be used for racing games. However, when playing racing games the cars' gas pedal will not be used.
In addition to games, Tesla will also support Netflix and YouTube, by using the car's browser. Both the car's video function and the gaming system will only work when the car is in park. It is possible that as Tesla's autonomous driving technology improves the park restrictions may be lifted.
