Pilot Log for Tesla

Have you ever got these questions after a trip at the wheel of your Tesla:
- what was my actual autonomy?
- what was my actual cost for 100 miles (or km)?

And before a new trip:
- when I used the same itinerary, how much battery did I use, where and how much did I recharge?

This is where Pilot Log for Tesla comes into play: making it very easy for you to log key data of your trips and to keep them for reference, in particular for the next time you use the same itinerary.

Pilot Log for Tesla has two main functionalities:
- new trip: record your trips steps and key data
- archives: once trips are completed, you archive them and they are available for reference for your future trips

If you use the automatic mode (requires in-app purchase), you just have to push a button to start you trip and another one to archive it when it is completed. Stops and starts along your trip will be automatically detected and recorded.

In manual mode (free trial for 2 trips, after which the same in-app purchase is required), you just have to push a button each time you start driving and stop.

Stops should be recorded only if they are meaningful for the log (ie. for recharge, rest, meal, …). The automatic mode takes care of this using a minimum stop duration (set by default at 5mn).

At each start/stop the following data are automatically collected: time, address, mileage, battery %, external temperature, added kWh (as applicable).

Using these data, trip statistics are displayed, globally and for each trip segment, relating to autonomy, distance, battery usage or charge, duration, speed and outside temperature.

Once the trip is archived, the « adjusted electricity cost » is computed using recharge costs and adjusted (+ or -) to take into account the difference of battery level at the beginning and end of the trip.

Security, privacy, disclaimer:

- during the trip, the GPS coordinates of your phone are recorded. This is mandatory for the automatic mode and for the display of your trip on the map. The activation of Location Services will be requested at the first use of the app. You can also activate it later in Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services

- email and password you use to connect to your Tesla account are not known by the app

- the application only gets data from the car and does so only when you log a start/stop. Car battery drain by « waking-up » the car is negligible

- the only commands sent to the car are the following: wake-up and provide available data. No commands are sent for « physical » action (like open, close, …)

- the app is not endorsed by Tesla Inc.
