FAQ

Logbook and Records 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 or financial advice. We recommend confirming your specific situation with your accountant or tax agent.

Yes. Swipe a trip business or personal in the app, or classify a batch at once on the web. Business trips carry a purpose you choose, such as Client visit, and a saved place can classify the trips that end there for you. The trips report shows business use as a share of recorded distance.

A trip-by-trip record with the date, start and end address, distance, duration, start and end odometer, and the purpose you recorded, as a PDF or a CSV spreadsheet (it opens in Excel) for any period. Your tax agent decides how to use it.

Trip reports and charging reports as PDF or CSV for any date range, a receipts spreadsheet, and a one-zip download of everything, receipt images included. On the web, an export contains exactly what you have filtered on screen.

Yes. CAILO Connect works the same however you own or lease the car. It gives you odometer readings and home charging figures, in kWh and dollars, for whatever period your provider asks about.

Yes. Every charging session is recorded with the energy added (kWh), how long it took and how fast it charged. Tell CAILO what you pay per kWh at home, including peak and off-peak rates, and each home session is priced for you. Supercharger sessions show what Tesla billed, with the invoice PDF. Where a cost isn’t known, CAILO says not recorded rather than showing $0.00.

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.

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.
