Tesla for Company Vehicle Drivers

Tesla offers eligible businesses and organizations the opportunity to own and operate their own Tesla fleet, allowing their employees to use Tesla vehicles. If you are an assigned driver for your company’s fleet of Tesla vehicles or if you chose a Tesla vehicle as your company vehicle, learn how to get set up in the Tesla app, take delivery and more.

Setting Up Your Tesla App

The Tesla app allows you to manage your account and activate different controls for your company vehicle. To get started, download the Tesla app from the App Store or Google Play store. Make sure you have the latest version of the app by updating the Tesla app on your mobile device.

Signing In

Your employer-issued email address will be the email you use to sign in. When you have been assigned as a driver, you will receive an email prompting you to create a password. Once you have your account credentials, download and open the Tesla app to sign in.

Note: If you did not receive this email, you can request a password reset. If the issue persists after you have verified your email address with your company or fleet management company, contact the Customer Support team.

Your Company Vehicle

Do not attempt to manually add a vehicle in the Tesla app. This will remove the vehicle from your company or fleet management company’s account.

If you have been assigned as a driver and the point of contact for taking delivery of your company vehicle, you should be able to see the Tesla vehicle and the order details in the Tesla app. If you were only assigned as a driver, you will not be able to view the vehicle in the Tesla app until your company vehicle has been delivered.

Setting Up Your Phone Key

Your phone key can be used to unlock the vehicle’s door and access all driver and vehicle control features in the Tesla app. Once you have taken delivery of your company vehicle, download the latest version of the Tesla app and enable Bluetooth on your mobile device.

To set up your phone key in the Tesla app, follow these steps:

Open the Tesla app.
Select your company vehicle.
Next to ‘Phone Key,’ tap the ‘Set Up’ button.
Follow the remaining prompts.

Note: If the setup for your phone key is unsuccessful, you may not be close enough to the vehicle. In this case, the Tesla app will instruct you on how to set up your phone key using your backup key card.

Taking Delivery

Your company or fleet management company is responsible for handling the pre-delivery process. If you are the point of contact for taking delivery of your company vehicle, you will receive a communication when the vehicle is ready for delivery. If you are not the point of contact for delivery, we recommend contacting your company or fleet management company to organize pickup for your company vehicle.

Prior to taking delivery, watch the Meet Your Tesla video series to familiarize yourself and learn the fundamentals of your company vehicle, including charging the vehicle, installing software updates and more.

Delivery Day

If you are assigned as the point of contact for taking delivery of your company vehicle, you are required to present a valid government-issued ID and provide your order or VIN on delivery day. You can find your order or VIN in the Tesla app by following these steps:

Open the Tesla app.
Tap ‘Vehicle Details.’

Making Payments

Supercharging

If you are responsible for making payments for charging sessions of your company vehicle, save your credit card and billing information in the Tesla app before taking delivery. Once you have saved your payment method, your account will be automatically billed for any charging sessions.

You can add your payment information in the Tesla app by following these steps:

Open the Tesla app.
Tap the menu in the top-right corner.
Tap ‘Charging.’
Tap ‘Manage Payment.’
Tap ‘Add Payment Method.’

You can use the Tesla app to remotely monitor your company vehicle's charging progress, manage invoices and more. Learn more about Supercharging and how Supercharger fees are calculated.

Subscriptions

Tesla offers Premium Connectivity subscriptions. Your company or fleet management company may assign you as the payer for subscriptions.

You can subscribe to Premium Connectivity in the Tesla app by following these steps:

Open the Tesla app.
Tap ‘Upgrades.’
Tap ‘Software Upgrades.’
At the top of your screen, tap ‘Subscribe.’
Tap ‘Add’ next to the upgrade. Then, tap ‘Next.’
Tap ‘Checkout’ and save your billing address and payment method.

Tesla offers options to plan future trips either directly from your company vehicle or from the Tesla app.

Trip Planner

Trip Planner is a navigation feature that allows you to plan driving more efficiently. If your selected destination requires charging, Trip Planner uses real-time data to route you to Supercharger locations along the way. While using Trip Planner, you'll see your estimated battery level upon arrival at a Supercharger and the recommended charging time needed.

To enable Trip Planner from your company vehicle touchscreen, follow these steps:

Tap the map’s settings icon.
Tap ‘Trip Planner.’

Note: Navigating to your destination automatically activates Trip Planner if charging will be required.

Using Location

You can use the ‘Location’ feature in the Tesla app by following these steps:

Open the Tesla app.
Tap ‘Location.’
Tap the navigation icon and enter your destination. If you selected a destination that requires charging, Supercharger locations will be added to your route.
Tap ‘Leave Now’ to schedule your departure time.
Tap ‘Send to Car’ to confirm your trip.

The navigation for your planned trip will appear on your company vehicle touchscreen when you depart.

Conserving Range

If you intend to use your company vehicle for long-distance driving, range can be impacted by factors such as temperature, driving speeds or different driving behavior. Check your tire pressure and use the Energy app on the vehicle touchscreen to conserve the range of your company vehicle. Learn more on how you can maximize the range and efficiency of your company vehicle.
