How it works

Three steps to a complete logbook

Watch how it works — 30 seconds

1

Connect your Tesla

Sign in with your Tesla account. KiloTrip links via the official Tesla Fleet connection — we never see your Tesla password and cannot control your car.

2

Just drive

Every trip is recorded from your car with distance, addresses, timestamps, and odometer readings. Nothing to open, nothing to remember — the logbook builds itself in the background.

3

Tag trips from one daily reminder

One notification a day, at a time you choose. Tap work or personal in seconds, set rules for regular routes, and export an accountant-ready logbook at tax time.

Features

Why Tesla owners ditch the paper logbook

Perfect records from your car

Paper logbooks and phone apps rely on estimates or manual entry. KiloTrip reads the actual odometer from your Tesla. No guesswork, no rounding.

One reminder a day, that's it

No app to open, no phone in the car. When trips need categorising, you get a single daily notification at a time you choose — tag them in seconds and get on with your evening.

Classify once, done forever

Tag your regular trips. KiloTrip auto-classifies matching trips as work or personal from then on — do it once and forget about it.

Your logbook pays for itself many times over

The ATO logbook method lets you claim the business-use percentage of all your car expenses — electricity, registration, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation. But without a valid logbook, you're stuck with the cents-per-km method and its 5,000 km cap. KiloTrip gives you that logbook automatically, so your accountant has real data to work with at tax time — in Australia and most other countries.

FAQ

Common questions

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.

Connect your Tesla in two minutes. Your first trip logs itself the next time you drive.
