Disabling or Hiding Arcade Games on Tesla Model Y

[atkmain]

Hello Tesla Club members,

I've run into a little issue with my Model Y. My 3-year-old son has taken quite a liking to the arcade games in the entertainment section, but many of these games aren't appropriate for his age. While I love that Tesla includes these for entertainment, in this case, it's becoming a bit of a challenge for us.

Uninstalling doesn't seem to be the solution because, with just one click, you can reinstall the games. So, I'm reaching out to the community here:

1. Is there a way to hide the arcade games or the entertainment menu entirely?
2. Can we set up some kind of parental control to prevent access to certain parts of the Tesla interface?

Any insights or workarounds would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!


Warm regards,

I just want to uninstall them because I have no desire to play games in my car.

Can we set up some kind of parental control to prevent access to certain parts of the Tesla interface?

When does your child play the games?

You could set up a PIN to unlock the car.

Not sure whether games are available in Valet mode. You could put the car in Valet mode when charging.

If the child eternally begs the adult for Arcade access - implement an iron-clad policy that after an adult says, “No Arcade!” three times, the adult and child will exit the car for a timed ten minute stroll regardless of weather conditions.

Bonus - we had a policy that the person who had to wait during a child pickup from school or other activity got to select the media for the ride. If I had to wait for a child to appear after gymnastics, swimming…then we would enjoy NPR or classic rock. If our child was waiting for me, they could update my taste with their preferred current hits.

This made waiting more tolerable, rewarded punctuality and eliminated fights over media control.

This isnt the first time this has been asked but the parental control is:

1. Setting up Pin to drive
2. Uninstalling the ones that Tesla now allows you to uninstall

There is no electronic parental control setup, and these threads usually devolve into people providing parenting advice.

The front seat isn't designed for a 3 year old to have unsupervised access, so I think that's where they come from when people ask for parental controls.

Don't let your 3 year old in your car unsupervised. I don't think this is rocket science. This is the fix.

Pin to drive is an option but I still wouldn't let a toddler in my Tesla or any vehicle unsupervised.

yogonet.com during these moments enhanced the experience

Great suggestions! I will take your idea of a ten-minute walk into my arsenal. Ingenious!
Of course I understand that putting a pin code is also a good solution, but a 10-minute walk is a great idea to switch the child's attention from the game to the real world. Thank you very much!

There several games in my Model Y that I will never play and would like to uninstall them. They show the word uninstall in blue but tapping is does nothing. Is there actually a way to uninstall games?
