Open source, self hosted

OhMyMiles or TeslaMate

TeslaMate is a free, open source data logger you run yourself, usually with Docker on a home server, with Grafana dashboards for trips, charging and battery.

Pick TeslaMate if
You enjoy running your own server, want the data fully on your hardware, and like building dashboards in Grafana.
Pick OhMyMiles if
You want the same kind of data without a server to maintain, plus business and personal tagging and a mileage report ready for the IRS or HMRC.

Hosted app for Tesla owners

OhMyMiles or Tessie

Tessie is a hosted app focused on controlling and monitoring your Tesla, with drive and charge history, automations and widgets on your phone.

Pick Tessie if
Your main goal is a richer remote control app for the car, with native phone apps and widgets.
Pick OhMyMiles if
Your main goal is a clean, tax ready mileage log: every trip tagged business or personal, places that tag trips for you, and deduction totals as you go.

Phone app, any car

OhMyMiles or MileIQ and phone GPS trackers

Apps like MileIQ and Everlance detect drives with your phone’s GPS and motion sensors, for any car, and let you classify them for tax.

Pick MileIQ and phone GPS trackers if
You drive several different cars, not only a Tesla.
Pick OhMyMiles if
You drive a Tesla. We read trips straight from the car, so nothing depends on your phone’s battery, permissions or whether you had it with you, and you get charging costs and efficiency too.
