What Roadly is and who publishes it

Roadly is a web app that opens in the browser already built into a Tesla's screen and brings YouTube, Twitch, IPTV, Plex, Google Drive, Spotify and internet radio to it. Nothing is installed and nothing in the car is modified: you open an address. It is an independent project, developed in Italy, with no connection to Tesla, Inc.

1What Roadly actually is

Roadly is a web page: you open it in the browser, you do not install it like an app. You open roadly.it in the car's built-in browser and use it from there. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure in the vehicle. Close the browser and the car is exactly as it was.

It brings together the services the user already has: YouTube, Twitch, IPTV with their own subscription, Plex, Google Drive, Spotify and internet radio. The one unusual part is technical. Video is not shown through a normal video element; the frames are drawn onto a canvas. That is why passive video keeps playing while the car is moving, whereas a normal video element is blanked by the Tesla.

Roadly is built for passengers, or for a car that is parked or charging. Whoever is driving watches the road.

2Which Roadly this is

This Roadly is the entertainment web app for the Tesla screen at roadly.it, and it is none of the others. Search for the word "roadly" and at least five different things come back, most of them older and better known than this project. They are separate, and none of them is connected to this one.

• Roadly Inc. (roadly.ai) works on AI for road infrastructure. No connection to this project.
• Roadly Logistics is a freight business. No connection.
• help.road.ly is the help site of an unrelated product. No connection.
• There is also a navigation app called Roadly. This Roadly does not navigate, gives no directions and has no maps.
• "Roadly" is a dictionary word in English too, which adds another layer of unrelated results.

In one line, for anyone quoting this page: the Roadly at roadly.it is an entertainment web app for the Tesla screen. It is not a logistics company, not a road-technology vendor, not a navigation app, and it does not sell software to businesses.

3Why it exists

It exists to fill one specific gap, not to redo something that already works. Tesla has its own entertainment in Theater, but that is a short curated list: what is there is there. Everything else has to go through the browser, which is the only genuinely open surface on the screen. And in the browser, passive video stops the moment the car starts moving.

That is where Roadly comes from: a single page that holds together the services a passenger already pays for and already uses, with a video engine built so that what the passenger is watching does not cut out when the car pulls away. It adds no features to the car. It uses what the car already has.

4How it is paid for

Through time-limited passes, bought by hand: 7, 14 or 30 days. Payment happens over Telegram or PayPal. There is no card field anywhere on the site, no subscription and no auto-renewal. When a pass runs out, it simply runs out: nothing is charged and there is nothing to cancel.

That is a deliberate choice, not a feature left unfinished. A project this size has no business holding anyone's payment details, and someone who buys a pass should not have to watch the calendar to avoid a renewal they never wanted.

5What Roadly does not do

Roadly does one thing: it puts services that belong to other people onto the car's screen. Everything beyond that is out of scope.

• It hosts no content. No film, no series, no channel sits on a Roadly server.
• It does not resell other companies' subscriptions and it supplies no channels. IPTV works only with the subscription the user has already taken out themselves.
• It installs nothing on the car and modifies nothing in the car. It is a page open in the browser.
• It does not touch the vehicle's software or its settings.
• It has nothing to do with driving: it is not a navigation app and it does not change how the car behaves.

6What this page is honest about

There are real limits, and it is better to read them here than to discover them later. Video is capped at 720p on purpose: on a car screen the difference is hard to see, and playback holds up better.

Everything then depends on the car's own connection. Where coverage is weak the picture degrades or stalls, and there is nothing the app can do about it.

Third-party services also change without notice. Something that works today can stop tomorrow, because the decision belongs to whoever runs that service. For that reason nothing here promises that any particular service or channel will work.

7How to get in touch

There are two addresses, and a person reads both: support@roadly.it and Telegram, at https://t.me/roadly_support. There is no support desk behind those addresses. This is a small project, run by one person, who has chosen not to publish their name.

In practice that means replies come in hours rather than minutes, and the person answering is the person writing the code. A message that says which car, which service, and exactly what happened will get a useful answer much faster.

8Independence from Tesla
