How Odojot works

1. Create your Odojot account with your email.
2. Connect your Tesla. You'll sign in on Tesla's own page and approve read access to your vehicles and their location. Odojot never sees your Tesla password.
3. Approve Odojot's key in the Tesla app, once per car. Open the link we show you on your phone and tap approve. If the car is shared with you as a driver rather than owned by your Tesla account, Tesla asks you to tap your key card in the car instead.
4. That's it. Each car shows as streaming in your dashboard. If a car is asleep when you finish, Odojot retries automatically.

While the car is moving, it sends three readings to Odojot: which gear it's in, the odometer, and its location. A trip starts when you shift out of park and ends when you've been parked for five minutes.

• Miles come from the odometer. The trip's distance is the end reading minus the start reading, the same number shown on your car. It is never estimated from GPS.
• Short stops don't split a trip. Pick up a coffee or wait at a gate, and it's still one trip.
• Addresses are filled in for you. The start and end points are looked up as street addresses, and the route is kept so you can see where you went.
• Tiny moves are ignored. Re-parking in your driveway doesn't create a trip.

New trips wait in your review list. Mark each one business or personal with a click, and add a purpose for business trips, like "Client meeting, Acme". You can select several and mark them at once.

Once you've marked the same route a few times, Odojot labels it for you. Automatic labels are always yours to change, and anything you set by hand is never overwritten.

Pick a date range and Odojot totals your business, personal and unreviewed miles, and works out the standard mileage deduction using the IRS rate in effect on each trip's date.
