What codriver does on your Tesla screen.

codriver is the community navigation companion Tesla didn't ship. It guides you turn by turn, watches the route for changing conditions, brings in the destination from your Tesla and lets every alert, map view and voice choice fit the way you drive.
The codriver app filling a Tesla screen at night: the 3D city, the route ahead, the next manoeuvre and a reported road event.

Community alerts

Tap once on the Tesla screen to report a police trap, hazard or closure; position, heading and speed ride along automatically. Drivers behind you confirm or dispute it in a non-blocking toast. Three contribution paths, one consensus map, anti-grief by design.

Charging networks in one layer

Filter supported charging networks the way an EV driver thinks: by connector compatibility, network, cost and power. Free includes Tesla plus one other network; Premium shows every supported network at once. Region-aware across North America, Europe and Australia/NZ.

Recent & saved destinations

Home and Work sync across every Tesla you pair; unlimited favorites and your recent list stay on the device unless you choose to sync. Save without an account, without typing: the label defaults to the address. Privacy is the default, not a setting.

Peregrine 3D map engine

Every public map engine is a generalist, and pays for that by rebuilding the world on every frame, which in a navigation view is every frame of the drive. So we wrote one for a single target. On a 2019 Model 3 the full 3D map runs at 25-35 fps, where the general-purpose engine codriver used before managed 10-15 drawing a flat map. Premium.

Turn-by-turn (alpha)

codriver's own turn-by-turn, called like a rally co-driver's pace notes: maneuver arrows, distances, a live ETA, and a cost-aware reroute. It's early, and this page says so plainly. For charge-stop trip planning, pair it with ABRP.

Car route

codriver draws the route your Tesla's own navigation is driving, with its turns and arrival time, and points out a faster road before the junction. Made for FSD (Supervised), or if you simply prefer Tesla's directions. One virtual key, read-only: it never controls the car.

Tesla-native

Pace-note voice

A calm second voice from the right seat: distances over encouragement, no emoji, no nagging. Borrowed from rally co-driving: it tells you what's coming, then gets out of the way.

Runs in the browser you already have

No app store, no CarPlay, no mount. Open codriver.io in the 17-inch browser, pair once with your phone, and it takes over the surface Tesla already ships. Anonymous by default, no ads ever. The map and its alerts open with no account; navigation asks you to pair.

On the screen

Both halves of it, in the car.

The road context your nav leaves out: a card names what another driver reported ahead and counts the distance down until you have passed it.
The report sheet open on a Tesla screen, offering eight kinds to report with one tap: Police, Accident, Stopped vehicle, Object on road, Pothole, Animal, Road closed and Work zone.The report sheet open on a Tesla screen, offering eight kinds to report with one tap: Police, Accident, Stopped vehicle, Object on road, Pothole, Animal, Road closed and Work zone.
And the half you hand back: one tap, one kind, nothing to type. Position, heading and speed ride along on their own.
