5 Reasons You Should Collect Your Tesla Telemetry Data

Your Tesla is a computer on wheels, generating gigabytes of sensor data every day. While the official Tesla app gives you a snapshot of the present, it lacks the historical context needed to truly understand your vehicle's performance. Here are the top 5 use cases for collecting your own telemetry data.

1. Historical Data Retention

The native Tesla app focuses on the "now." It doesn't store your detailed driving history forever. By collecting your own telemetry, you build a permanent library of every drive, charge, and idle session. Want to look back at that road trip from three years ago? With TesDash, you can.

2. True Cost of Ownership

Stop guessing how much you spend on charging. By correlating your charging sessions with your local electricity rates (Time of Use) and Supercharger invoices, TesDash can calculate your exact Cost Per Mile. Compare this to a gas vehicle to see your real-world savings.

3. Where Have You Adventured

Track your journeys and explore new routes with detailed maps of your travels. Understand your driving patterns and discover hidden gems along the way.

4. Trip Efficiency & Weather Impact

Data geeks love this one. Visualize how temperature, speed, and tire pressure impact your efficiency (Wh/mi). Learn exactly how much range you lose at 80mph vs 65mph, empowering you to plan road trips with precision.

5. Digital Service Record

Keep a permanent log of all vehicle alerts and maintenance indicators. If a recurring error code pops up, you'll have the timestamped history to show the service center, potentially speeding up diagnostics.
