Tesatlas gives you a clear, native view of your driving and charging history on iPhone, iPad and Mac, imported from a source you host yourself. Try the built-in offline demo before connecting your own source. YOUR HISTORY, MADE CLEAR • Browse drives with route, distance, energy and available costs • Review charging sessions, energy, prices and charging curves • Explore battery-health estimates, efficiency trends and parked drain • Build trips, compare periods and export selected data • Check source and local-database readiness LOCAL RECORDS, USEFUL OFFLINE Connect your separately configured source and import your history. Prepared local records can then be browsed offline. Source updates, purchases and restore, Apple map assets, eligible weather requests and external links need network access. Feature access and available source coverage still apply. READ-ONLY SOURCE IMPORT Tesatlas does not send vehicle commands or write back to your configured source. History is stored and analysed on your device. Tesatlas does not operate a vehicle-history relay or upload product analytics to Magrathean. SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND OPTIONAL AI Ask supported questions about locally recorded drives, consumption, charging and costs with Siri and Shortcuts. Numeric answers read local facts without preparing an AI model. Missing values and estimates remain identified. Available answers depend on your imported records and permitted history window. Optional AI explanations (experimental-beta) require supported Apple hardware, software and language, and explicit in-app consent. WEATHER WHEN YOU OPEN A DRIVE Eligible Drive details can request weather context from Apple when opened and cache the result locally. This does not reconstruct weather for old drives. The offline demo does not request weather. 30 DAYS FREE. ONE-TIME FULL ACCESS. Browse your last 30 days at no charge, with no trial countdown or automatic paid conversion. A one-time Full Access purchase expands the history window to a full year (365 days), where records are available from your source. The App Store shows your local price. Restore purchases from Settings. Previously verified access can be used offline while its local entitlement cache remains valid. WHAT YOU NEED The built-in demo uses fictional records and needs no source account. To import your own history, connect a self-hosted TeslaMate PostgreSQL database or a MyTeslaMate account that your device can reach. Source hosting is separate from Tesatlas. The demo does not provide real-data Siri answers. Battery-health, energy and cost estimates are informational, not diagnostic, repair or warranty advice. Tesatlas is independent and is not made, endorsed or supported by Tesla or MyTeslaMate.

Niko is a companion app for your Tesla: every control the car already has, plus the record it does not keep. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ YOUR CAR, IN FULL — AND FREE • Lock and unlock, frunk, trunk, charge port and windows • Next to the car, lock, unlock and climate go straight to it over Bluetooth • Climate: warm or cool the cabin before you get in, seat heaters, steering wheel, defrost • Charging: start it, stop it, set the limit, set the amps • Sentry mode, valet mode and speed limit • Where it is parked, with the address, on a map you can open • Tire pressures against the car's own targets, warranty, recalls and software version • Plan a trip from where the car is now, on what is actually in the battery — with the stops it would have to make, how long each one takes, and what you arrive on • Live battery readings: volts, amps, charge rate, time until full, and what a parked car quietly loses while it sits The controls are free. On Free, Niko can wake a sleeping car five times a day; Plus and Pro have no limit. NIKO PLUS — THE RECORD Your car keeps almost nothing. Niko watches while the app is closed, so there is something to look at when you open it. • Wake the car whenever you need to • Every trip from the last three months: distance, efficiency, and where it started and ended • Every charge from the last three months, and what it cost on your rate • A Live Activity for charging and climate, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Alerts that need watching between visits: charge started and finished, low battery at a level you choose, cabin ready, left unlocked, low tire pressure, a slow leak forming over days, service due, and software updates • Automations: rules that run while the app is closed • Up to two cars NIKO PRO — WHAT THE PACK IS DOING Everything in Plus, plus what your battery has done over time. • Every trip and charge, kept for good • Pack capacity, measured from charges Niko watched end to end, and how it has changed • Charge cycles • The S3XY Commander scanner, which reads the car's own CAN buses — the 12 V battery, every individual cell, the cooling loop — none of which comes from Tesla's API • The driving display: your iPhone shows your speed, the speed limit, turn signals, blind spot and more • Charging in the cheapest part of the night, on your rate • Up to five cars ON YOUR WRIST AND YOUR HOME SCREEN • Apple Watch app • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Control Center controls • Siri shortcuts CAREFUL BY DEFAULT • Niko wakes your car only when it has to. A sleeping Tesla keeps its range. • Face ID or a passcode on the app itself • Passkeys and two-step verification on your Niko account • Fifteen languages Niko reads your car through your Tesla account, and acts on it with Tesla's own key — adding the key takes one tap, near the car, with the Tesla app installed.
