TDash - Tesla driver dashboard for iPhone
Many Tesla models do not have a traditional instrument cluster in front of the driver. TDash connects locally over Bluetooth, requires no Tesla account login, and brings speed, battery, range, charging, doors, lights, tire pressure, and other live vehicle status to iPhone, giving Model 3 / Model Y drivers a clear dashboard experience at low cost.
01. Local Bluetooth
TDash reads vehicle data over local Bluetooth instead of requiring a Tesla account or cloud relay. During the first connection, follow the prompt to authorize once with the Tesla key card. After that, reopening the app can reconnect faster for everyday live vehicle status checks.
02. Dashboard Store
Different drivers prefer different visual priorities. TDash includes a dashboard store with themes, colors, kilometer / mile units, and display styles, with new instrument-panel designs planned over time.
03. Magnetic Mount Ready
Place iPhone where it is easy to see, and TDash can work as a lightweight Tesla secondary dashboard. It does not require vehicle disassembly, wiring changes, or tapping into the original electrical system, reducing the safety and warranty concerns that can come with added hardware while keeping speed, battery, range, power, and charging status easier to read.
04. GPS Speed Fallback
When the Bluetooth connection is unstable or vehicle speed data is temporarily unavailable, TDash can use iPhone GPS speed as a reference display. Accuracy may vary depending on location permission, environment, and device state.
Use Cases
TDash is designed for drivers who want fewer steps and clearer information. Instead of turning vehicle data into a complex control center, it presents speed, battery, range, charging, and vehicle status as a focused iPhone dashboard.
Speed, battery, range, and charging status are shown together, making the iPhone useful as a clear secondary dashboard in the car.
