Keeping a logbook is tedious

Your Tesla already records every trip. The Tesla app just can’t separate business kilometres from personal, link charging costs to business use, or export anything your accountant can use. Paper logbooks fall apart by week three. Many logbook apps rely on an aftermarket device fitted to the car, which not every owner wants. Both leave your records and audit trail exposed. CAILO Connect fixes that with:

  • Always-on automatic trip capture with minimal input
  • Business vs personal trip classification
  • Trip and charge event tagging for detailed reporting
  • Full route details with distance, timestamps, and GPS data

Charging Costs Now Visible

Home charging hides in your power bill

Not anymore. CAILO Connect captures every charging session at home, at work, and on the road. Energy usage, charging speed, and session costs all flow into your dashboard, so you have the visibility your accountant needs at tax time. Home charging stops disappearing into your power bill and becomes a separate, itemised business cost.

  • Per-session charging cost tracking
  • Home, work, and public charging costs in one report
  • Energy efficiency tracking for cost optimisation

FAQ

Tax Logbooks & Expense Questions

CAILO Connect connects to your Tesla through the official Fleet API. Every trip, charging session, and vehicle event is captured automatically in the cloud. At the completion of every trip you are notified to classify the trip or you can set and forget frequent trips. Then, you drive as normal and CAILO Connect records everything.

CAILO Connect captures the data points commonly recorded in a vehicle logbook: trip dates, start and end locations, distances, and odometer readings. The data is captured automatically from your Tesla’s telemetry, producing records that are more complete and accurate than any manual logbook. CAILO Connect records every trip continuously, including across a 12-week logbook period and beyond. CAILO Connect is a record-keeping tool, not tax advice. We recommend confirming your specific situation with your accountant or tax agent.

Yes. CAILO Connect supports business vs personal trip classification so you can accurately calculate your business kilometre percentage. This is essential for novated lease FBT calculations and sole trader record keeping.

CAILO Connect generates per-trip records with the start, end, distance, duration, and purpose information accountants and tax agents are familiar with. Records export as standard PDF and CSV/Excel files any accountant can open. The data is detailed enough to answer any follow-up questions.

CAILO Connect produces exportable data in formats that accountants and bookkeepers can open and work with directly. Trip records, charging costs, and kilometre summaries are available for download from your CAILO Connect dashboard at any time.

Yes. CAILO Connect works the same regardless of how you own or lease the vehicle. Trip data, charging session records, and the export formats are equally useful for novated lease reimbursement claims and FBT calculations.

Yes. CAILO Connect captures charging session data including energy added (kWh), charging duration, and charge rate. For home charging, this data can be used to calculate your electricity cost per session based on your tariff rate, supporting legitimate business expense claims. Once you have updated your tariff rate on the platform, CAILO Connect calculates and tracks your costs.

No. CAILO Connect is a cloud-based, read-only integration that uses Tesla’s official Fleet API. It does not install anything on your vehicle, does not modify any systems, and has no impact on your warranty or battery life.

For sole traders and business owners using their Tesla as a business vehicle, the CAILO Connect subscription is a business software cost. We recommend confirming how to treat it with your registered tax agent based on your specific circumstances.

Most mileage apps need you to check in at the start and end of every trip. They miss the trips you forget to log. CAILO Connect connects to your Tesla directly through the Tesla Fleet API, so every trip is captured automatically with detail (battery state, charging sessions, full route data) no phone-based app can match.
