The missing "Share to Tesla" button

There’s no easy way to send a link from a phone to a Tesla browser. So people send URLs to themselves by SMS, put them in a calendar event, or type them by hand, using a shortener for longer ones. TeslaSend fixes that: share a link, and it opens in the car browser. Simple, free, instant, no app, no account, anonymous, fullscreen mode, secure, and links auto-delete by default.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Sorry, this is not an AI product. It will not write your emails, replace your team, or raise a seed round while you sleep.
It just sends links to a Tesla browser. 😄
I’ve owned a Tesla for several years, and one small thing always annoyed me: you can send YouTube or Google Maps links from your phone to the car, but not regular web links.
So if you find an article on your phone and want to read it in the car, you end up texting the URL to yourself, hiding it in a calendar event, or typing it by hand (imagine).
A couple of years ago, I built a simple tool for myself: share a link from your phone, open it in the car, and read it in Tesla’s browser. No sign-up, no ads, fully anonymous, links auto-delete by default.
I shared it with a few people, and now I see more and more Tesla owners using it. So I cleaned it up and launched it publicly, just for fun.
Maybe someone from Tesla will see it and add the similar feature to the main app. That would be the best outcome.
It’s non-commercial and will stay that way. Hosting and domain still costs money, so donations help keep it running.
If you drive a Tesla and have the same pain, enjoy! 🚗
How does it actually know which Tesla to open the link on if there's no account or login step?
@esila23rx There's a one-time pairing. The car's browser shows a QR code, you scan it with your phone, done. The code is just a random UUIDv4, so no email, no password, nothing personal.
The fullscreen mode is a nice touch, feels way more natural than squinting at the standard Tesla browser. Auto-deleting links is the kind of detail that actually makes me trust a free tool.
Finally someone solved the actual annoyance of getting a link into the car. Tried it with a YouTube URL and it popped right open in the browser, no fiddling required.
Does it work with any Tesla model or only the newer ones with built-in browsers?
The auto-delete after opening is such a thoughtful touch, especially combined with no account required. Nice execution on a tiny but genuinely annoying gap.
finally a sensible fix for this, been emailing myself links forever. the auto-delete thing is a nice touch, makes it feel less sketchy.
