Scenic Drive — an iOS app for Tesla owners · built on Tesla’s official Fleet API

Your route. The whole route.
In your Tesla — one tap.

Tesla’s built-in nav can’t follow a route you planned. What it calls waypoints are up to 8 mandatory stops — you pull over at every one, or delete them from the touchscreen while driving. Scenic Drive keeps your routes on your iPhone — any GPX, a Google Maps link, or a curated scenic drive — and hands the car the whole thing in one tap.

A real iOS app

Your scenic routes, one tap from the car.

Scenic Drive iOS app — the real catalog: Mergellandroute, 111 km, 258 waypoints, one tap to send it to the car

The problem it solves

You know the drive you want.
Your Tesla can’t follow it.

They’re not waypoints. They’re mandatory stops — the car parks me at every single one until I press «continue».

Eight stops max — my coast loop needs forty.

The only way past a stop is deleting it on the touchscreen. While I’m driving.

There’s no way to hand it a finished route. No GPX, no file, no import — every stop typed by hand, every trip.

Next weekend? Start from scratch — it doesn’t save any of it.

So most weekends the fast road wins, and the drive you bought this car for gets skipped — not because you changed your mind, but because the car won’t follow it.

How it works

Here’s the fix.

What you get

Your library of drives — grows as you save the ones you love.

Save the ones you love, keep them organised, and send any of them to the car in a tap — the exact roads, the exact stops you chose.

Nothing planned yet? Start from the curated collection — hand-picked coast roads and mountain passes, dense enough that the car actually takes them. Browse the scenic collection →

Tesla integration

Straight to the car,
through Tesla’s official Fleet API.

Sign in with your Tesla account — official OAuth, the same flow Tesla’s own partners use. We never see your password.

A virtual key pairs the app to your car — you approve it once, on your terms, and can revoke it any time from the car.

The route lands on the car’s own navigation — no cable, no browser tab in the car, no screen mirroring.

Your tokens stay encrypted on our servers — never in the app’s web pages, never sold, deleted when you delete your account.

The drive you’ve been missing

Remember why you bought the car.
Now take that drive.

The coast road at golden hour. The mountain pass you keep meaning to take. This time you just enjoy the road you chose — the whole way through — instead of re-typing it into a screen.

I drive a Tesla. I kept planning beautiful weekend routes — then spent the whole drive fighting the screen instead of looking out the window. So I’m building the thing I wanted: send the route once, and the car follows it. I send my own routes this way now.
