Scenic Drive · an iOS route planner for Tesla owners

Runs on Tesla’s official Fleet API — the route lands on the car’s own navigation, no cable, no browser tab required.

Your whole route, any length —
sent to your Tesla in one tap.

Tesla’s nav can’t follow a planned route: its 8 waypoints are mandatory stops you delete on the touchscreen while driving. Scenic Drive imports any GPX, a Google Maps link, or a curated scenic drive and hands your car the whole route in one tap — any length.

A real iOS app

One tap. Your whole route — every point, in order — lands on your Tesla’s own navigation.

Scenic Drive iOS app: a catalog of real scenic drives, each with distance, length, POIs and waypoints
1 · Pick a route
Browse the built-in catalog of real scenic drives — live today.
A scenic route drawn on the map with its named stops listed, and a Send to Tesla button
2 · One tap to the car
The whole route — one tap from your phone to the car.
Guided drive: the app sending each waypoint to the Tesla in turn as you progress along the route
3 · Your Tesla follows the route
The app sends the next point to the car as you approach the last — you just drive the road.

Tesla’s nav forces you into 8 waypoints, tops — and every one is a mandatory stop you delete on the touchscreen mid-drive. Scenic Drive keeps that lineup topped off automatically: it stages the next points seconds ahead of the turn — lead to spare, not a last-second swap — and if your phone ever sleeps or loses signal, the car’s own GPS carries the drive on without missing a point. A route of 9 points or 100 runs exactly the same — end to end, and you never touch the car’s screen.

What Tesla owners say

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

«When the car reaches the first waypoint it just stops… I can find no ‘continue trip’ button in the UI.» — a Tesla owner

«There is no way to do that. The best you can send the Tesla navigation is a destination point.» — a Tesla owner, on GPX routes

«I have been wishing for this for 20 years. I have never had a car that could save a favorite route, only a favorite destination.» — a Tesla owner

«I keep having to fight FSD, disengaging, making turns manually, then reengaging FSD many times.» — a Tesla owner

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

The fix: one tap sends your whole route to the car.


Any route, any length — one tap.

What you get

Two ways to fill the car — the drives you save, and the drives we hand-pick. Both one tap away.

Yours — the drives you save

Save any drive you love and it’s one tap to the car next time — the exact roads, the exact points you chose. Your everyday routes, named your way:

  • Home → work — the pretty way, no highways
  • Sunday coast loop — the one you always mean to take
  • Cabin weekend — back roads the whole way up

Ours — the drives we hand-pick

Nothing saved yet? We hand-pick scenic routes and match them to where you are — ready to send straight to your Tesla. Browse the collection →

Tesla integration

Your route lands on the car’s own navigation — through Tesla’s official Fleet API.

The route appears on the car’s own navigation, instantly — sent straight over Tesla’s official Fleet API, so there’s no cable, no browser tab, no screen mirroring.

Sign in with your Tesla account — the same secure sign-in Tesla uses for its own apps. We never see your password.

Approve it once, revoke it any time — you pair the app to your car on your terms, and you stay in control from the car itself.

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 built the thing I wanted: send the route once, and the car follows it. I send my own routes this way now.
— the founder, who got tired of re-typing routes

Get the app

Ready to stop typing waypoints into a touchscreen?

The app is real and running today — it has already sent full routes to a real Tesla on real roads. Plan your drive once and Scenic Drive puts the whole route on your Tesla’s own navigation, point by point — you drive it (or let your Tesla’s FSD drive); the app only sends the route, it never touches the wheel.
