Scenic Drive — Support

Scenic Drive sends a hand-picked scenic route to your own Tesla and follows it live, point by point, to the destination.

If you need help, the basics are below — and you can email us any time at scenic.drive.app@gmail.com. We read every message.

Getting started

1. Sign in with your Tesla account and approve the virtual key once. You stay in control of your own account.
2. Pick a route — from the curated library, or import your own .gpx file.
3. Send it to your car and watch live progress advance to the destination. Your Tesla’s built-in navigation does the driving directions; you stay the driver.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Tesla?

Yes. Scenic Drive works with your own Tesla through Tesla’s official Fleet API.

How do I connect my Tesla?

On the sign-in screen, sign in with your Tesla account and approve the virtual key one time. That’s the whole setup — you stay in control of your account, and you can disconnect any time.

Does the app drive my car?

No. Scenic Drive sends a route to your car; your Tesla’s own navigation follows it. You remain the driver and are responsible for the vehicle at all times. Scenic Drive does not steer, accelerate, brake, or control the car, and makes no self-driving claim.

Can I use my own routes?

Yes. Import a .gpx file and send it to your car the same way as a library route.

How do I unlock the full route library?

Scenic Drive Pro — a monthly subscription through Apple — unlocks guided driving and the full curated library. The current price is shown in the app and on the App Store before you buy. The subscription renews automatically each month unless you cancel; you can cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings (deleting the app does not cancel it). Details are in the Terms of Use. Moved to a new device? Tap Settings → Restore Purchases and it comes back at no extra charge.

How do I delete my account and data?

Tap Settings → Delete Account. This erases your access tokens, your saved routes (including their coordinates), your trip state, the paired key, and your session. It cannot be undone.

Does Scenic Drive track me?

The app asks for your location twice over: once, coarsely, to show the scenic routes nearest to you first (that fix never leaves your phone), and — during a guided drive only — in the background, so the route advances as you reach each point even with the screen off. While a drive is running your phone sends its current position to our server; we keep only the latest position, each update overwrites the last, and we never build a history of where you have been.

Is Scenic Drive made by Tesla?

No. Scenic Drive is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Tesla, Inc. “Tesla” here refers only to compatibility with your own vehicle.

Troubleshooting

The route won’t send to my car.

Check that you’re signed in to your Tesla account and that the virtual key is paired — both are on the sign-in screen. Re-pair if needed, then send the route again.

I bought the library but don’t see it.

Tap Settings → Restore Purchases.
