For Tesla owners

Your phone's screen.
Right on your Tesla's display.

Tesvo mirrors your Android phone live onto your Tesla's built-in browser, over your own hotspot. No cables, no account, no cloud service in between.

Already on your phone's hotspot in the car? Tap Android above. It only works while Tesvo is actively mirroring on your phone, so it won't do anything if you're just browsing.

$5.99, one-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases.

How it works

Three steps. No account, no cables.

Tesvo runs entirely over the network your phone already creates. Nothing leaves your car.

01 / HOTSPOT

Turn on your hotspot

Enable your phone's WiFi hotspot like you normally would, then connect your Tesla to it.

02 / START

Tap Start in Tesvo

Open the app and tap Start Mirroring. One permission prompt, and your phone begins broadcasting its screen.

03 / OPEN

Open it in the car

Go to android.tesvo.app:8080 in your Tesla's browser, or just tap the Android button above.

Features

Everything you need, right on the big screen

Built for real driveway-and-parking-lot use, not a demo reel.

Live screen mirroring

Smooth MJPEG mode works everywhere; a higher-quality HD (H.264) mode kicks in when your browser supports it. Pick your default once. It's remembered.

Tap to control

Taps on the mirrored screen land right back on your real phone, and an on-screen Home button jumps out of any app instantly.

Weather & battery, always visible

A status strip up top shows current temperature (°F or °C, your choice), high/low, humidity, wind, and your phone's live battery, without leaving the mirror.

Smart calendar carousel

Your upcoming events auto-advance across a 7-day window. Tap an address to open Google Maps, or tap a Zoom/Teams event to jump straight into the meeting.

Scratch Pad

Type a quick note or sketch freehand right on the car's screen, in Light or Dark, then save it as a photo to your phone's gallery.

Save my parking

One tap saves exactly where you parked. Come back later, tap again, and it opens the spot in Google Maps.

Secure by default

A real, trusted HTTPS certificate and a memorable address (android.tesvo.app): no browser warnings, no typing raw IP numbers.

Local-network only

Everything runs over your own hotspot. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud service, and there's no account to create.

Pick your quality

Switch between Low, Medium, and High on the fly, with no page reload, and go fullscreen whenever you like.

For use while parked, or by a passenger only. Don't interact with the mirrored screen while driving. Mirroring also stops if your phone's screen fully locks (an Android platform restriction, not a bug).

What Tesvo needs

Three permissions. Nothing leaves your phone.

Full detail is in the Privacy Policy. The short version:

Screen capture

Lets Tesvo stream your screen to your Tesla's browser. Served only to devices on your own hotspot; never uploaded anywhere.

Accessibility (optional)

Only if you want tap-to-control. Replays the taps you make on the mirrored screen back onto your phone. Nothing else.

Local network only

No account, no backend server, no analytics. Tesvo has nowhere to send your data even if it wanted to.

FAQ

Questions, and honest limitations

Including the platform quirks worth knowing before you buy, not just the good parts.

Do I need a Tesla account, app, or anything installed in the car?
No. Tesla's built-in browser is all the car needs. Everything else runs on your phone; the car just points its browser at the address Tesvo gives you.
Does this use my Tesla's own WiFi or data connection?
No. Your phone creates its own hotspot, your Tesla connects to that hotspot like any other WiFi network, and your phone's own data plan is what's actually online. Tesla's own connectivity is never involved.
Why did mirroring stop when my phone's screen locked?
This is a genuine Android platform restriction, not a Tesvo bug: Android revokes screen-capture access outright the moment the screen is manually locked, and no app can override that. Reopen Tesvo and tap Start again to resume. Tesvo already asks to be exempted from your phone's battery optimization when you first start mirroring, which helps some phones stay more reliable in the background, but a manual screen lock will still end the session regardless.
I tapped a calendar location or meeting link and lost the mirror. What happened?
Tesla's built-in browser only supports one window at a time, so links like Maps or Zoom open in the same view instead of a new tab. Use your Tesla browser's back button, or just go back to tesvo.app, to get back to the mirror.
Should I use MJPEG or HD mode?
MJPEG is the reliable default and works everywhere. HD (H.264) looks sharper and is generally smoother, and is worth trying first since it's usually the better experience, but MJPEG is there as a fallback if HD ever has trouble on your specific phone or Tesla software version. Both are included; pick your default once in the app.
What does Tesvo actually access on my phone?
Screen capture (to mirror it), optionally Accessibility (only if you want tap-to-control), and a few things like calendar/location for the on-screen widgets, all used locally and never uploaded anywhere. Full permission-by-permission detail is in the Privacy Policy.
Is there a subscription or any in-app purchase?
No. $5.99 once, and that's it. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account to create.
Does this work on my Tesla?
Tested on a Tesla Model Y. Tesvo doesn't use anything Tesla-specific, just the car's built-in browser over your phone's hotspot, so it should work on any Tesla with a browser, but hasn't been formally verified on other models yet.
Is an iOS version coming?
It's a goal, but not built yet. iPhone's screen-recording APIs work differently from Android's, so it would need its own separate implementation. Android is the only supported platform for now.
