Stop texting "almost there" — let your Tesla say it for you. I'm Here turns your car's live location into a simple link you can text to anyone waiting for you. Pick a destination, share the link, and they watch your car move on a map in real time, with a live "arriving in X minutes" countdown. No app install, no account, and no sign-up required on their end — the link just opens in any phone's browser. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with your Tesla account (read-only access to your car's location and ETA). 2. Pick where you're headed — search, drop a pin, or choose a saved favorite. 3. Share the link by text, message, or however you'd send anyone anything. 4. They watch your car approach on a live map and get an arrival alert — no app, no account. WHY YOU'LL USE IT • Picking someone up — send the link the moment you leave, skip the "where are you" texts. • Getting picked up — share your ETA so your ride knows exactly when to head down. • Family and friends — let someone know you're on your way without a play-by-play. • Riders without a smartphone handy can opt in to a single arrival text instead of watching the map. • Optional: send the destination straight to your Tesla's navigation with one tap. TRY IT WITHOUT A TESLA Not near your car? Tap "Try a demo — no Tesla needed" during setup to walk through the entire flow — picking a destination, sharing a link, and watching a simulated car arrive — with no Tesla account and no sign-in required. PRIVACY, IN PLAIN ENGLISH I'm Here only shares what you choose to share, for as long as you choose to share it. Share links expire automatically, and you can end a share at any moment from the app. Riders need no account and get no cookies, trackers, or analytics on their page. We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising. Full details: https://imhere.moosequest.app/privacy PRICING Demo Mode and connecting your Tesla are free. Sharing a live link with a real Tesla requires I'm Here Plus — an auto-renewable subscription with a 14-day free trial, then $1.99/month or $14.99/year, cancel anytime in Settings › Subscriptions.
