Now I am thinking about an unofficial way, that is to login the Tesla Linux system with terminal, while connect WiFi to my phone's hotspot, if succeed we can try to find the files of those games' link and delete them. Does anyone have experience with this? Welcome to expand your thoughts...
Unless you know Tesla's root password, logging in is going to be tricky. You will probably have to unsolder the SSD from the motherboard, hook it up to another computer, modify system files to give yourself access, and then solder the SSD back onto the motherboard.

You are putting groceries in the trunk and the kid gets in and can launch apps.... I wouldn’t want a kid to launch that driving game and dry turn the wheels. Sure it doesn’t harm them much, but the point is it’s still does no matter how insignificant.

though the point of the initial question was just asking if you were able to. It’s not a huge deal. Was just curious

Kids under 12 should always sit in the back seats. Problem solved.

Do you really think hacking into a Tesla is that easy? If it were so, it would be a huge liability to Tesla. Hacking a Tesla is much more involved than using SSH through WiFI and those who do such things risk losing warranty and supercharging privileges. You shouldn't mess with the software that controls the car unless you really know what you are doing.
