Connecting your car

Link your Tesla account to Viametry, choose what it may read, and pick the cars to add.

Viametry reads your car's data through Tesla's official connection for apps (the Tesla Fleet API). It never controls the car: no unlocking, no climate, no charging commands.

Before you start

  • A Viametry account (sign up, then confirm your email).
  • Your Tesla account login: the one you use in the Tesla app.
  • About five minutes. Adding the car's key (Adding the virtual key) is a separate step, done next to the car.

Step by step

  1. After you sign in for the first time, Viametry asks you to connect your car. Choose Connect your car.
  2. Choose what Viametry may read:
    • Vehicle status and telemetry (required): battery, range, software, and the live data the car sends while driving.
    • Location and route maps: routes, places, saved places and maps. Leave it off and trips have no places or maps.
    • Charging history and costs: Tesla's charging history with Supercharger bills. Viametry only reads it.
  3. Tick that you acknowledge Tesla's Customer Privacy Notice. Tesla processes your car's data under its own notice; the link opens it.
  4. Choose Continue to Tesla, sign in, and approve the same permissions on Tesla's page.
  5. Back in Viametry, tick the cars to add. You pay per car; cars you leave unticked are not added and nothing is recorded for them. A car that is already in another Viametry account on the same Tesla login starts unticked and says so: tick it to move it here with all its history.
  6. Billing details: what your invoices will show. The country is always needed; a business account also gives its company name; the rest (name, company ID, VAT ID, address) is optional. On a personal account, tick Buying for a company to add a company.
  7. Start the free trial: 10 days, a card is needed, and nothing is charged if you cancel before the trial ends. Payment, VAT and invoices are handled by Paddle. (Someone who subscribed before gets no second trial.)
  8. Viametry opens Set up your car: add the virtual key there.

Good to know

  • Battery, charging and software information work as soon as the account is connected. Drives, trips, the logbook and route maps also need the virtual key.
  • You can change the permissions later: Settings, Integrations, Reconnect on the connection. Tesla grants only what is ticked.
  • Disconnecting stops new data but keeps your history. You can reconnect at any time.
  • Cars on more than one Tesla account? See Several connected accounts.
