Can I use KiloTrip for the ATO logbook method?
Yes. KiloTrip records everything the ATO logbook method asks for: dates, odometer readings at the start and end of each journey, kilometres travelled, and the purpose of each trip. Run it for the 12-week representative period or all year round — it never stops recording. Outside Australia, the same records cover most tax authorities' logbook requirements.
Do I need to keep my phone in the car?
No. KiloTrip reads trip data directly from your Tesla — not from your phone. There's no app to install, no Bluetooth pairing, no GPS battery drain, and trips are captured even when someone else is driving.
Who is KiloTrip for?
Tesla owners who use their car for both work and personal driving and want accurate logbook records to maximise their tax claims. If you need a logbook for the logbook method, KiloTrip gives your accountant exactly the data they need — automatically.
Does KiloTrip work with all Tesla models?
Yes, all current models (Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, Cybertruck) are supported.
Will KiloTrip drain my Tesla's battery?
No. KiloTrip uses sleep-aware polling and only pulls data when your car has been active. It does not keep your car awake.
Why use KiloTrip instead of Tessie or TeslaMate?
Tessie and TeslaMate are great general-purpose Tesla automation and logging tools. KiloTrip is purpose-built for one thing: a really good, simple trip logbook. If all you need is an accurate, accountant-ready logbook without the complexity, KiloTrip is built for you.
Does the logbook export include the right fields for my accountant?
Yes. Each export includes dates, start and end times, start and end addresses, distance, odometer readings, and category (work or personal). That's the core data your accountant needs to apply the logbook method.
Does KiloTrip see my Tesla password?
No. KiloTrip connects via Tesla's official Fleet API using OAuth. You authenticate directly with Tesla — we never see your password or your vehicle's location in real time.
