Fleets

We're pleased to officially announce the soft launch of Teslascope for Fleets, which is built to fit your needs, whether you're a renter, established company, or municipal agency.

Fleets is built upon our vehicle framework and aims to tackle the usual hassles of managing vehicle fleets. With our soft release, we already provide a trove of business-oriented features such as:

Realtime Vehicle Locations (with global map)
Supercharging Costs and Invoice Exporting
Fleet-wide Calendar and Monthly Metrics
Super Sentry (Persistent, Always-on Sentry Mode)
Fleet-wide Data Exports
Safety Alert and Tire Pressure History

In the weeks that follow, we'll be improving this build out to include more features, refinements, and improvements based on the feedback of our initial testing groups.

Some features originally designed for Fleets will be made available via our premium membership.

Legalese Changes

We've updated all of our Legalese documents for the first time in a few years, including a major redesign to make them far more intuitive. This includes changes to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

We've also introduced a new Copyright Policy in preparation for upcoming features relating to media, and an Open Source credits page.

Other Changes and Improvements

The Help Center received a few design improvements.
Resolved an issue that caused the first row of driving session tables to be illegible on tablet or mobile devices.

4/4/2023

xxx Vehicle Controls have been greatly improved! A new design that compliments the active Light or Dark Mode setting is now available, and we've re-enabled this for mobile devices.

A dropdown for quickly switching your primary vehicle has been added to the vehicle glimpse section above each page. With one click, you can now switch which vehicle the navigation bar is linked to, without having to return to your dashboard, or otherwise update vehicle settings.

Quick Switch (for Multiple Vehicles)

Based on community and member feedback, we've added a new way to quickly switch your primary vehicle. Previously this required either going to the dashboard and using the vehicle dropdown menus, or to vehicle settings. Now, you can simply hover, click, or tap on the button besides your vehicle name.
