Pricing and sign-up

MotionStream lists a 3-day free trial that needs a card, then $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year. TeslaStreams is free during early access: open the site in the car and tap Start without an account.

Both have live TV, YouTube, Twitch, podcasts, radio and games. MotionStream adds classic films and audiobooks from public collections, and lets you add your own media libraries. TeslaStreams adds launch tiles for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Apple TV, Hulu, Spotify and Tubi, each opening the service's own website.

Subscription streaming services

MotionStream says it doesn't promise playback of DRM-protected subscription services such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ or Prime Video. TeslaStreams doesn't play those inside its own page either: its tiles open each service's own website, where you sign in with your own account and the service's own player handles playback.

Games

MotionStream lists games. TeslaStreams has six of its own: chess, checkers, Four in a Row, sudoku, 2048 and Glitch Hunt, our slingshot physics game. More in our games guide.
