A drive is one stretch from start to stop. A trip is the outing those drives make up: from leaving your home or base until you are back, or a longer journey. Trips lists the trips; Individual drives lists every drive on its own, with filters and tags.
Finding a trip
- The search box (Name, purpose, note or place) at the top of the page.
- Named trips only shows the trips you named or gave a purpose.
- Trip filters: date, trip length, speed and tags.
The figures above the list (Trips, Distance per trip, Efficiency, Cost per trip, Cost per km) follow the search and filters. Per trip they are the median, so one long journey does not skew them.
The trip log
Each row shows when the trip started, its car and route, distance, efficiency, speed, trip cost and cost per km. On business cars a label says what is still open: Not classified, No purpose or Mixed. Where speed is hidden for you, a shield takes its place.
Click a row (or its arrow) to open it: the route map beside the trip's figures, its drives, the charging during the trip and the trip's own fields.
Marking a trip business or private (business accounts)
- Open the trip.
- Under Business or private, whole trip, choose Business or Private. One tap sets every drive of the trip.
- For a business trip, fill in the Purpose: what the trip was for, for example the client you visited. It goes into the logbook for every drive of the trip.
A single drive can differ: open it under Drives in this trip and choose Different purpose for this drive.
The trip's own fields
- Trip name: where or why you drove, so it is easier to find later.
- Trip driver: overrides the car's default driver for this trip only, useful if the car was borrowed.
- Cost centre (business accounts) and Notes.
- Lock once the record is final (for example filed for tax). A locked trip cannot be edited, merged or split until unlocked.
Fixing the grouping
- Merge into one trip: tick two or more trips of the same car in the list and merge them.
- Change how this trip is grouped (inside an open trip): Split the trip before a chosen drive, or Undo custom grouping to go back to the automatic grouping.
Private trips and missing places
- Delete route and places (private trip) removes the route and places for good; distance, time, energy and cost stay. To just mark a trip private, use Private above instead.
- A drive with no recorded location (for example in private mode) can still be a business drive: mark it business and enter the start and destination. The export marks them as entered by hand.
- Name start and Name destination on a drive save the spot as a place, so later trips show its name.
Good to know
- Tags whose drives are left out of the figures (for example test drives) are chosen in Settings, Tags; the page says when this applies.
- On cars with the assisted-driving statistics switched on, a trip also shows its distance on FSD and its share.
- On business accounts, drives between two places can classify themselves: see Automatic classification in Logbook.
When something looks wrong
- Waiting for the first complete round trip: trips appear once the car has driven out and back; single drives are already under Individual drives.
- Trip closed after 30 days: a trip that never returned home is closed after 30 days and continues as a new one.
- Missing trips: see When data is missing.
