Connect your Tesla

Start from Connect a vehicle, on the “No vehicle linked” screen, or from Profile › My Vehicles › Add a vehicle. Adding a car takes three steps.

1. Connect your Tesla account

1. On the “Connect your Tesla account” screen, tap Sign in with Tesla.
2. Tesla’s official page opens: sign in with your Tesla account.
3. Allow access, leaving every box ticked.
4. Back in Copeel, the screen shows “Account connected”: tap Continue.

Your Tesla password never goes through Copeel: you type it on Tesla’s page.

2. Choose the car

The “Which vehicle should Copeel follow?” screen lists the cars on your Tesla account. Tick the one Copeel should follow, then tap Continue.

A grayed-out car can’t be chosen: it’s already followed by another account (“Linked to another account”), it isn’t compatible (“Not compatible with our system”), or your plan is full.

3. Create the virtual key and start tracking

1. On the “Create your virtual key” screen, tap Create key next to the car: the Tesla app opens.
2. Confirm adding the Copeel key in the Tesla app.
3. Come back to Copeel: the car shows “Virtual key added”.
4. Tap Start Tracking. It can take up to a minute if your car is asleep.
5. The “You’re All Set” screen shows: tap Done.

If the key is already in the car, Copeel sees it and goes straight to starting tracking.

Your car’s first data shows on Home as soon as it arrives. See When does my first data arrive?.
