If you've ever tried typing a long web address into your Tesla's browser, you know the pain: the on-screen keyboard is slow, there's no copy and paste, and one typo means starting over. The fix is simple — don't type it at all. Send the link from your phone, where it's already open, straight to the car screen. It takes about 20 seconds once you've done it.
Send a link to your Tesla in 4 steps
1. Open the receiver page in your car.
While parked, open your Tesla's browser and go to pushtocar.com/car. The screen shows a QR code and a short pairing code. This is your car's private inbox for the next hour.
2. Scan the QR code with your phone.
Point your phone camera at the code on the car screen. Your phone opens a private sender page already paired to your car. There's nothing to install and no account to create — the QR code is the whole setup.
3. Paste the link on your phone and hit send.
Copy the link from whatever app you're in — Safari, Chrome, YouTube, Messages — paste it into the sender page, and tap send. Your phone confirms it's on its way.
4. Open it on the car screen.
Your Tesla shows a "new link received" card with a preview of the page. Tap "Open link" and it loads in the car's browser, ready when you are.
Your pairing stays active for one hour, so you can keep pushing links while you're parked or charging. Either side can end the pairing at any time.
What kinds of links work?
Any web link works: news articles, YouTube videos for a charging stop, a restaurant reservation page, a Google Doc, a hotel booking. If it opens in a normal browser, it opens in your Tesla's browser.
Are there other ways to do this?
A few other tools offer phone-to-car link pushing, and some drivers just bookmark pages in the Tesla browser ahead of time. The tradeoff is usually an app install, an account, or a Tesla login. PushToCar skips all of that — the QR code is the login, and it expires on its own.
You can also send photos to your Tesla screen instead.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes. PushToCar is free for every driver, supported by voluntary donations.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Everything runs in the browser — your car's browser on one side, your phone's browser on the other.
Does it work on cars other than Tesla?
Yes. Any car with a built-in web browser works — Tesla is just the most common one.
Can I use it while driving?
No, and you shouldn't try. It's designed for parked or charging moments — set things up before you drive.
Try it
Next time you're parked and staring at a link on your phone, open pushtocar.com/car in your Tesla's browser and push it over. You'll never type a URL on that touchscreen again.
