TesoroBoard turns your iPhone into a beautiful external instrument cluster for your Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. Mount your phone, connect over Bluetooth, and see everything that matters at a glance — speed, battery and range, power, energy consumption, gear, cabin temperature, tire pressure, and the time — in a clean, glanceable dashboard built for driving. WORKS 100% OFFLINE TesoroBoard talks to your car directly over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). There is no cloud, no login, and no internet connection required. You can put your phone in Airplane Mode and leave only Bluetooth on — TesoroBoard keeps working. NO GPS, NO TRACKING TesoroBoard never uses GPS or location. It reads vehicle data straight from the car. Your location is never accessed, never logged, never shared. LIGHT ON BATTERY, COOL TO THE TOUCH Because it avoids GPS and cellular/Wi‑Fi networking, TesoroBoard sips power. Your phone stays cool even on long drives, so you can keep it mounted all day. YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED I do not collect, store, or transmit any of your data — period. No analytics, no accounts, no ads, no third parties. Everything stays on your device. CHOOSE YOUR LOOK Switch between multiple dashboard styles: • Modern — a bold digital speedometer with side panels • Sport — twin analog gauges for speed and power • Classic — an elegant Model S/X–inspired cluster Pick High‑Performance or Standard to match your car and the gauges scale perfectly. Metric or imperial units, 11 languages, portrait‑mount or landscape. FOCUSED, NOT BLOATED TesoroBoard does one thing and does it well: it's a great instrument cluster. No feeds, no gimmicks, no distractions. And we're just getting started — more beautiful, customizable dashboards are on the way. COMPATIBILITY Designed for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. The first time, you'll register the app as a Bluetooth key by tapping your key card on the center console — just once per car. — TesoroBoard is an independent, third‑party app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Tesla, Inc.

Set a destination in your Tesla. Your favorite nav app opens on your iPhone. Automatically. Google Maps · Waze · Apple Maps Model 3 and Y have no cluster. Now your iPhone is one. No more glancing at the center screen to check your speed. Speed, gear, power and regen, battery, range, tire pressures — streamed straight from the car over Bluetooth, several times a second. No server in the middle to slow it down. Your nav app. Or ours. - Built-in navigation: Map and gauges on one screen. Miss a turn? It reroutes in seconds. - The app you already use: Waze, Google Maps or Apple Maps opens full screen with your destination already entered. Tap the Lock Screen card to jump back to the cluster. Find it on your iPhone. It's waiting in the car. The destination goes straight to your Tesla's navigation — one tap on the car's screen and you're on your way. If the car is asleep, it shows up the moment the car wakes up. No warranty worries. Nothing an update can brick. Works where your signal doesn't. Cloud apps ask Tesla's servers. We ask the car. Your car's vitals, at a glance. Car Checkup checks each tire against your car's own recommended pressure and keeps an eye on battery health and software updates. When something looks different from usual, it tells you what to do. No need to open the Tesla app. One tap on the cluster. Doors, frunk, trunk, charge port, windows, Sentry, Dog Mode. Connected plan. Works near the car, over Bluetooth. Car Wash Mode, mirror folding and seat adjustment aren't possible — Tesla doesn't offer commands for them. Why does your A/C smell musty? Running the A/C leaves the evaporator wet. Park, and that moisture just sits there, which is how you get mold and that mildew smell. Once you walk away, After-blow runs the fan for 1, 3 or 5 minutes to dry it out. No more switching off the A/C a few minutes before you arrive. Speed cameras? You'll get a heads-up. About 49,000 cameras in 10 countries. Start free. Upgrade anytime. Free (US$0 · forever) - Instrument cluster — speed, gear, power, battery, range, tires - Car-to-phone destination hand-offs — 20 a month - Turn-by-turn on your iPhone, or in the nav app you already use - Speed camera alerts - My Car Info, night mode, charging screen Connected (monthly or yearly subscription · billed from day one) - Unlimited destination sync — car to phone and phone to car - Car Checkup — tires, battery health, software updates - Vehicle Controls — lock, doors, frunk, trunk, charge port, windows, Sentry, Dog Mode - After-blow — dries out the A/C after you park - Turn signals on the cluster Want to try first? Connected has a 7-day free trial — cancel a day before it ends to pay nothing. Prices vary by country. Cancel anytime in iOS Settings. What you'll need. - An iPhone on iOS 17 or later (iPhone XS or newer). - The cluster, navigation and speed-camera alerts work right away — open the app and tap “Start right away”. No sign-in, no VIN. - A Bluetooth key, paired once in the car with your key card when you connect. Needs car software 2024.38 or later. Works with every Model 3 and Model Y, plus Model S and Model X (2021 and newer). - A Tesla account is optional. Sign in and pick your car from the list, or just enter the VIN if you'd rather not sign in. - Tesla sign-in and the virtual key are needed only for the Connected plan — Tesla requires that key to send status while the car is far away. - Location access for navigation: “While Using the App” with Precise Location on. - One thing the app can't do: start or cancel the car's navigation. Tesla only allows that on the car's screen. Tesla, Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X are trademarks of Tesla, Inc. Other app names and icons are trademarks of their respective owners.
