Stream your Steam games from your Tesla to your TV
This is the experience shared by a user on Reddit. He was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 comfortably on his sofa, while the game was running on his Tesla. To do this, he used the Steam app for Tesla (still in beta), which he connected to an Apple TV box via the Steam Link app.
For the manipulation to work, it is of course necessary that the Tesla and the Apple TV (or any other medium with the Steam Link app) are connected to the same WiFi network. The car cannot be too far from home. Then simply connect a gamepad to the device to enjoy its entire Steam catalog on its television, the game is broadcast on the screen of its choice from the Tesla.

This solution can help out in case of force majeure, but is not viable in the long term and will mainly be used to have fun for a few minutes, the time to see that this method works well. There is no doubt that owners of a Tesla Model S or X have the means to invest in a traditional gaming PC to play in good conditions.
